Another incident was when I was stopped by a woman randomly and she asked me why I chose to wear what I wear (niqab, abaya, etc) and she continues to tell me that it's not fair that I can see her in what she is wearing but she can't me - I simply told her no one forced her to leave her home wearing whatever she was wearing. And that she chose to allow people to see her body & clothing... So she cannot get upset nor frustrated nor have a sense of entitlement to see other people when they choose to cover. She didn't like my comment but I don't care because I'M RIGHT!
I get to choose what people get to see of me. And people are not entitled to see me nor have the right to judge me by me outter appearance. Understandably, this is unfortunately the type of society we all have to live in but I don't care because I'm doing me and I only obey my Creator. If people can walk around 75- 90% NAKED (meaning booty shorts and pretty much a bra for a shirt), then I should not be judged/shunned/discriminated against /insulted/harassed/verbally assaulted for being 90-100% COVERED.
I challenge you all to get to know someone before ever seeing them!... Oh wait that's what social media is for! Millions of people meet and learn about each other everyday online or by phone (because pen pals are rare nowadays).
So what's the difference? - It's the shock that your imagination created a visual of what the individual may look like but you cannot actually see a physical description. And it's upsetting because you crave to physically see, that visual desire eats you alive... All because you refuse to accept the utter appearance that remains mysterious. Perception can drive a person mad when their expectations don't match.
Cute story:
I went to do one of my friends makeup and her brothers were there in the room. They, the brothers, were so respectful towards me. I acted as normal with my friend and we all had a great laugh. Now the funny part, the brothers, who never saw what I looked like (meaning they only heard my voice), told my friend a couple of weeks later that I was 'cute'. My friend was taken aback and asked them what did I look like or whether or not they remember actually seeing me. But the truth is, they couldn't recall because they never did see me. They could only hear me and they 'saw' my personality shine through my curtain-like clothes.
So you see, if you have good intentions and take away perversion you're left to judge a person solely on personality. So for everyone out there that hate the veil, you are ultimate jealous and perverted (regardless if you are man or woman, Muslim or non-Muslim lol).
Take care & InshaAllah khair
