Eastern Veiling Western Freedom

One part of the passage that sparked my interest was the part that said the western feminists make the standard of beauty and westerners say that wearing a veil is not considered pretty, and since the eastern women wear the veils they are not considered beautiful. I think this subject has a lot to do with today's society in the United States, I feel like Hollywood makes up the rules on what is pretty and and what is accepted and everyone is supposed to follow that standard or they are not pretty. I see this daily people trying to copy movie stars all of the time and I think it is sad because we all need to be individuals because we are all special in our own ways and we need to embrace who we are. We also need to need to be more confident in ourselves and be able to stray away from the norm and really not worry what others think. Although the article is called Eastern Veiling Western Freedom I think that it should be Eastern Veiling Western Creating because the western civilization is making the standard that is to be followed.
