tear off the veil
as a result of protracted women's struggles there has been great advance in the realm of Feminist assertion and scholarship, though not yet emancipation from patriarchy and changes are evolutionary and quantitative, moving in the direction of revolutionary qualitative changes. Gender is an ideology and has to be fought on that lavel too. Men realize thgis change tough with cultural shock and would not dare to try to make women prey. Khomeini prescribes a dress code to reveal minmum of the body and modern consumerism propogates the a dress style to coneal the minimum but both are driven by the same genderised, sensuous notion of female body and female sexuality. Tear off the veils and confront the consumerism innate in capitalism by joining the revolutionary, emancipaory novements world over. To fight the patriarchy one has to tear off the veil and break all the taboos and inhibitions created by patriarchy to circumscribe women's role and to control female sexuality.
