A recent study published by the British Journal on their
August edition has praised the popular muslim dressing called
the hijab, saying it protects the body from plagues.
The team who made the study included,
Malaysian-born British psychologist Viren Swami
at the U.K.’s University of Westminster and they
examined 587 muslim women in England and 369
regurlar hijab users.
The women ages ranged from 18 to 70 with a total
mean of 27. Majority of the women were
unmarried and came from different countries like
Bengali, Pakistani, Indian, and Arab. Around 200
held an undergraduate degree.
Swami revealed that after the women had
undergone tests to know their behavior towards
their bodies, women who wore Western dress
scored higher on every scale of body
dissatisfaction.
When the subject were told to look at some
drawings of the female body and chose the one
they truly desired, the women wearing the hijab
chose the bodies that resembled the bodies they
actually possessed.
While their western counterparts where more
invloved on how to get thiner and the hijab
wearing women did not really fathom such
thoughts in high regard.
The scientists concluded that it was not only due
to the women’s faith that made them less caring
of idealized depictions of beauty.
The report read: “It might thus be concluded that use of
the hijab offers Muslim women a small protective effect in
terms of their body image … the use of the hijab may act as a
buffer against negative body image,”.
The authors ended up saying that even though
the, The veil might be oppressive — but so are
unrealistic beauty standards.
When Swami was asked if he had any discomfort
with this impression, and he said:,” We’re not making
a judgment” one way or the other. “We’re certainly not saying
that everyone should be wearing a hijab.”
And there might be any number of other reasons for the
disparity in self-image between the cohort of women who
wear the hijab and those who don’t. Perhaps cultural factors
that are related, but not directly derived from the prevalence of
the hijab, affect how women talk about their bodies. In
societies where the hijab is more prevalent, many choices are
foreclosed to women, and that may affect how they conceive
of and talk about their bodies.
Despite huge protests against ban of hijabs in
public places some European nations have kept
the highly discriminatory law.
It would suprise all to know despite the amount of
hijab use in Iran, Iran has more nose jobs done in
the country than in the USA.

Why so desperate?

The study concludes that:

“It might thus be concluded that use of
the hijab offers Muslim women a small protective effect in
terms of their body image … the use of the hijab may act as a
buffer against negative body image”.

And the title of your post is:

"Women Who Wear Hijab Have Better And Fresherskins(sic)."

Nigga why? That is very dishonest. Maybe you did not read what you posted.

Why is this even in the religion section? Sounds more appropriate for 'family' or 'culture'.

Apparently you would like to conclude that Allah forsaw that people would have body image issues, and therefore prescibed the hijab to help provide succor.

Well done sha.
