       The Hijab, Niqab, and Burka

       How do you guys feel about this tradition, and how would you
       personally deal with it in the long term? I’m going to be
       honest: I don’t like the hijab very much, and despise the other
       two. It strikes me as unnecessary and sexist. I would respect it
       if Muslim men were expected to cover up in the same exact way.
       Otherwise, it’s completely contrary to our message of
       emphasizing low sexual dimorphism. I’m open to hearing arguments
       for why I should view this in a more positive light, since I
       admire aspects of modern Islam as I do Christianity, and will
       undoubtedly interact with people of the Muslim community as
       Aryanism hopefully gains more traction

       "I would respect it if Muslim men were expected to cover up in

       This is what we should promote. (Actually, this is what we
       already have right now with COVID masks.....)
       "Otherwise, it’s completely contrary to our message of
       emphasizing low sexual dimorphism."
       Exactly. There cannot be a gender-based double-standard of what
       is considered modest dress. I am open to different countries
       having different standards of modest dress (and then individuals
       can choose to live in whichever country has the standard that
       they prefer), but whatever standard applies must apply to
       everyone.

       My ancestors in North Africa had men also cover their face. A
       corrupt version of this can still be seen with the Sanhedja.

       I'm curious what you mean by "modest"? Sexual modesty?
       Uniformity? The clothing itself is modest?

       Wouldn't hiding one's facial expressions/body language be a kind
       of emotional dishonesty and reduce empathy?
       I like modesty in terms of wearing simple, plain clothes
       And preventing others from objectifying us, although this would
       only be necessary among non-Aryans

       It is not dishonest, as everyone can see that you are hiding
       them. If anything, it removes the potential for the dishonesty
       of faking facial expressions/body language (as would be possible
       if they were visible).
       As for empathy, we are more than able to empathize even with
       characters in text-only novels, so I don't think this is a
       problem.

       You aren't removing the potential for dishonesty overall, you're
       shifting communication to rely more on verbal than non-verbal
       cues, which makes it easier to deceive in a way; I don't have to
       fake actual tears, or a loving gaze, I can just make sobbing
       noises or claim I dearly love you.
       Novels include descriptions of the character's body language,
       and writing a relatable character takes skill. Not everyone can
       even talk. And how are we gonna communicate with animals? So yes
       if you required everyone to hide their body and face you're
       going to severely inhibit empathy.

       That is what sub-par actors do for a crying scene: partially
       cover their face and make sobbing noises. They are not
       convincing the audience that they are sincerely crying, they are
       just concealing that they are not really crying (which everyone
       still knows they are not).
       "So yes if you required everyone to hide their body and face
       you're going to severely inhibit empathy."
       Everyone is hiding their body and face while communicating on
       this forum. If you find this so unsatisfactory, you are welcome
       to go here instead:

       Couldn't people reveal themselves in private as they get to know
       each other?
