I agree, Kassy. She should be allowed to wear it.
Ppl are free to wear wigs, hijabs, Mormon underwear...it’s their right.
And it’s our right to criticize any of those practices.
I choose to speak about how #HijabIsRapeCulture and to support women who want to be #FreeFromHijabhttps://twitter.com/KassyDillon/status/1104846752492838912 …
Re wigs, I’m specifically referring to the Hasidic (fundamentalist Jewish) practice of a married woman shaving her head and wearing a wig. Like the other examples, it’s a practice that stems from modesty culture.
For those unaware of this practice, and want to know more, I recommend watching @oneofusdoc on Netflix and/or asking my friend @FrimetG your Qs.
I'll file this under 'learn something new every day' as I had no idea orthodox Jewish women shaved their heads. I knew some covered their hair.
Not all Orthodox. It’s only specifically some Hasidic Jewish women. My friend @FrimetG can tell you more.
I’d like to make one small point that not all Hasidic married women shave their heads. Chabad, which is considered Hasidic, do not.
I grew up and live near Monsey. I used to work in Monsey with a lot of women in Monsey. It's a huge Hasidic community. I know for a fact most women DO NOT shave their heads. Most of them do wear sheitels (wigs) vs scarves to cover their heads.
The practice of SOME branches of hasidic women shaving their heads has multiple rationales, modesty culture is just one of them. Another reason has to do with the strictures around their monthly immersion in the mikvah (ritual bath).
What a mistake!
That would be a 'modesty culture' devised and imposed by 'holy' texts, which were devised and imposed by men.
In that same culture, modesty laws actually begin at age three, which i believe is stricter than for Muslims. From age 3, a girl cannot expose elbows, knees,etc. Normal physical activity for girls is severely curtailed. Girl schools have gyms, but arent used for physical activity
