My beauty or even my ugliness is my very own concern. Why? Well such criteria as external, limited ,and never lasting beauty is so vulnerable ,so blemished .Why should women be judged on their appearances since beauty can be obtained easily ;an ugly woman can be just gorgeous nowadays. How about looking at concepts of a different perspective? Not all women can be effective, strong and present in today’s life; there are no base creams enabling women to be stronger, there are no lipsticks turning women into good speakers. Another thing is freedom, what an abstract notion! The good question I think is how to accomplish it. Wearing hijab for me is a rebellion against society’s stereotypations and expectations, things now become “it doesn’t really matter how beautiful she is, what really matters is how effective she is. Doesn’t matter how ugly she is since she is not that passive oppressed women”, and this is a form of responsible freedom, freedom of the body of people’s mundane lifelike judgment, freedom of a constructive, effective good person a good citizen politically speaking. According to society’s expectations and stereotypes, women are treated unfairly according to that unjust criterion. It might be less shocking if both men & women were judged according to beauty, yet it’s only women who are being judged with segregating expectations. What a nice response do people give to an externally beautiful woman. Yet, what a powerful impact an intellectual and effective women can give –it’s not that I mean that beautiful women are ineffective, I’m reproaching the way women are brain washed, restricted and obstructed by the idea that they should be so beautiful “even by huge quantities of make up”,d elicate and what is much more important, obedient and in some cases naïve ,playing coy in order to get married, after obtaining society’s consent . This brainwashing is aggravating. In his masterpiece “The Picture of Dorian Gray” the Irish writer Oscar Wilde said: “it’s only shallow people who do not judge by appearances ” Today, as ushering in a new millennium I say: “it‘s only shallow people who do judge by appearances”.
