A quite interesting essay on Eureka Street (the Australian version of America magazine) by Ellena Savage, called Boobs, booze and Muslim feminists. The teaser reads:

She'd rather be wearing jeans, but is compelled to dress like a Christmas tree for the Spring Racing Carnival. Her desire to be desired for the depth of her cleavage is nominated by the designs of men in her society. No wonder some Muslim women feel the hijab subverts patriarchy.
