A friend posted a picture on Facebook. It was the comparison of two chickens. One was white, meaty and looked nice while the other one was scrawny, brownish and just pure ugly. The caption talked about the beauty of having a hijab. It seems that the white feathers of the former represents hijab and the latter, nakedness revealed.
Now, the question comes. Why did the creator of the picture compared girls to chicken? Wasn't that a form of insult? How would girls who saw that picture think? For me, it's just so sexist. Discriminating girls!
I posted that picture in another group and asked for the opinion of some Muslim girls. They said the picture was meant to illustrate the beauty of wearing hijab, not really about comparing girls with the poultry.
Later, the friend who posted the picture and replied my comment by telling me not to be too specific because that picture was meant for guys as well. Well, Muslim guys have to cover their aurat too. I understand that. But hello? Hijab? For guys? That's ridiculous!
Anyway, I would give them the benefit of doubt for not being able to see the fine print which read "With Hijab" and "Without Hijab".
