This is not the place nor era to relive the way the hippies once shaped the societies of certain nations. No, their way of clothing and how they percieve it, is one of their cultural norm. To remove all stigma attached to clothing? The Middle East is not the West, and Islam can never be Protestantism. You get my point.
You cannot persuade them to think PDA is acceptable nor us, the foreigner's meaning to what is appropriate clothing can be likewise acceptable to them. The same reason they cannot lead me to believe that eloping with my cousin is not immoral. You, however, someone who is part of a certain cultural norm but defies it, thus have a case of social stigma. Again, we are the outsiders..As I stress where i'm coming from, it is not our call to liberate what we deem is necessary as to something so small like women's attire. And again, this is not the place nor era to relive the way the hippies once shaped the societies of certain nations.
