68. At least Hajib is not secret but there is a sexual component to it.

I have read that they whole point of wrapping women up in garbage bag like clothing
is to prevent men from being sexually tempted by women's beauty.

So it is blaming, shaming, and punishing women because men cannot control
their own sexual urges.

Yamaka (worn by males) is not sexually motivated and is a way to show respect to God.
It is not about men controlling women.
