6.4 关于希贾卜的谬论
6.4 Fallacies Regarding Hijab
这块头巾对性骚扰有影响吗?
Does Hijab Have Any Affect on Sexual Harassment?
这是一种我常听到的反对意见,即对穿着得体的女性、甚至是戴着全套希贾布的女性来说,她们仍会遭受言语骚扰和性侵,“所以很明显,得体的着装和希贾布对保护女性免受性骚扰毫无作用。”但这种论证是有缺陷的,因为没有人声称穿着得体就能完全杜绝招致负面关注的可能。主张其实只是:在其他条件相同的情况下,得体的着装(例如希贾布)能显著降低此类骚扰发生的可能性。因此,诚然,戴希贾布的女性不幸地经常在开罗繁忙的街道上遭受言语骚扰,但一个不可否认的事实依然存在:如果这些女性穿的是瑜伽裤、背心和其他常见的西式服装,骚扰只会严重得多。
This is a common argument I hear against the utility of modest dress and the hijab, namely that “modestly dressed women, even women in full hijab, are still victims of catcalling and sexual assault. So clearly modest dress and hijab have no impact in protecting women from sexual harassment.” But this is a flawed argument because no one claims that dressing modestly will completely foreclose on the possibility of receiving negative attention. The claim is simply that, all else being equal, modest dress, e.g., hijab, significantly reduces the likelihood of such harassment. So, yes, while women in hijab are, unfortunately, frequent victims of catcalling in Cairo’s busy streets, for example, the undeniable fact remains that the harassment would be much, much worse if these same women were dressed in yoga pants, tank tops, and other common Western styles.
这一点也有帮助,因为相关的经文本身就很清楚。
And it helps that the relevant ayah is clear on its own:
“先知啊!你要对你的妻子、女儿和信士们的妇女说:让她们把外衣的一部分垂放在自己身上。这样更容易使她们被认出,不致遭受欺扰。安拉是至赦的,是至慈的。”
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”
