A thread debunking the feminist myth that what you wear doesn't matter, and clothing doesn't prevent sexual harassments. (Proven with scientific studies on the topic)

Short summary: Yes the hijab does prevent sexual harassments and attracts less male attention

Scientific studies have shown women are aware of the sexual signals their clothing sends:

1- Women who wore immodest clothing did so in order to flirt with strangers.

2- Women who wore sexual clothing did so in order to have sex with strangers.

More scientific studies confirm these findings, and have also shown women who wear immodest or sexual clothing self-objectify themselves, which cause anxiety, unhappiness, body-dissatisfaction, and body shame.

Another study found that women who want to have sex with strangers (i.e short term relationships) choose to wear immodest/sexual to attract those types of men.

Whereas women who wanted long term relationships (i.e marriages) wore modest clothing.

Studies on objectification show that only women who dressed sexually were objectified.

fMRI scans found that alpha males, despite being attracted to sexualized women, saw them as objects, & felt disgusted by them. But they did not objectify modest women.

https://t.co/5HlkQijcaS
Another study also found via fMRI scans that *both* men & women see women who dress sexually as objects, and didn't feel empathy for them when witnessing them in pain.

Whereas they see women who dress modestly as humans.

Studies have also found that women who dressed in sexual clothing are more likely to be sexually harassed and dehumanized/objectified.

Men stated they felt more comfortable sexually harassing women who dressed in sexual clothing.

Scientific studies have also shown that children are not safe from this.

Children who wear sexual clothing also are objectified and not shown empathy or given help.

A big nail in the coffin for those who oppose children wearing hijabs.

Another scientific study found similar results. There are negative effects from children wearing sexual clothing, such as sexual harassment from other boys.

As well as normalizing the role of a "immodest sexualized female".

Only the hijab prevents this.

Studies on the hijab have found compared to non-Muslim Western women, Muslim women who wear conservative Islamic clothing (hijabs/abayas) had higher self-esteem, better body image, healthier body weight, felt less sexually objectified & more respected.

https://t.co/Ivn6o2OfkZ
Another study focusing only on Muslim women found similar results:

1 - Women who dressed in hijabs had better body satisfaction

2 - Women who rejected western culture were less likely to be peer pressured by unhealthy Western media beauty standards

https://t.co/US1cJWUcDo
Scientific studies have also found that wearing Islamic clothing prevents sexual harassment.

Wearing hijab/niqabs resulted in lower rates of sexual objectification & sexual harassment.

The more conservative the clothing the lower the sexual harassment.

https://t.co/cpXRxelXZf
It was also found that men were scared to sexually harass Muslim women as their hijab made them seem "less approachable"

https://t.co/4Ze5DQEBNJ
Another study found that wearing more modest clothing protects Muslim women's body image & mental health from unrealistic Western media beauty standards.

More religiosity was related to lower body dissatisfaction/objectification, & less eating disorders.

https://t.co/qhYLmNWxm7
Another study found that wearing the hijab, results in more positive body image, less fixation with appearance & less reliance on Western media beauty standards.

https://t.co/GDffMp4Tpl
Another study found that wearing hijabs helps women resist sexual objectification and make them more respected.

Women who wore hijabs were not offered drugs, or invited to strip club parties, because men knew they were not sexual objects.

https://t.co/oCvgIRjmaS
While the studies above are in Western countries, this new study, confirms the same applies in Muslim nations

The hijab (the clothing itself) and religiosity are both major factors in of themselves, in contributing to positive body image.

https://t.co/NBp8fqRKFA
Scientific studies have also debunked the myth of the "hijab being oppressive" or that "women are forced to wear it"

And by the same logic of this myth, wearing sexual clothing is also oppression since the Western media conditions you into wearing it.

https://t.co/hihJtNz2yR
Another study from France also finds he same results. The hijab results in better mental and physical health.

Real scientists say that that attempts to ban the hijab are unscientific and in fact harm women's health.

https://t.co/tWbrNn1C0z
A study found that the younger a woman began to wear the hijab the less she compared her body to others.

This is a good solution for the increasing sexualization of children by the liberal Western atheism.

https://t.co/OZHpa6dNyl
In another scientific study. Men were watched with eye-tracking technology.

It found that men looked more at women who wore sexual clothing & focused on their naked body parts.

Whereas men could not do this on Muslim women & didn't want to harass them.

https://t.co/5uddEI6fi5
Another study by the same author finds that men are more likely to sexually harass a woman (i.e offer a car ride to her) if she wore sexual clothing as opposed to modest clothing.

https://t.co/HlL2UyCeLF
This should debunk any lies atheism/feminism/france spreads about the hijab.

And lastly, scientific studies show Muslim women are the most pure and do not have pre-marital sex (whereas Western non-Muslim women have sex with strangers)

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
