 Veiled and Watched
Veiled and watched...though apparently dichotomous terms can co-exist in certain scenarios...how do you react to being forcibly veiled...how do you respond to attempts at monitoring which border on spying...when one is asked to veil up, in essence one is being told that some external agency has a problem with one's anatomy...that it is so repulsive to the eye that it should be disguised under layers of clothing...and that somehow, it is the onus of the one to resolve the issue, which an external agency has with their physicality...When societal structures use decorum as an excuse to censure feminity and curb individual space there is a problem...It is a big deal and even if you cannot do anything about it Let There Be Subversive Voices
