The coverage surrounding Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie: Intimacy and Design book has largely focused on the notion that sexy lingerie is an expression of sexuality denied in women. Buying racy undergarments is supposedly a freedom for these women. MMW's Krista however, says that this kind of thinking only plays into what men - their husbands, want, and makes us think that these women are sex goddesses once unleashed from their robes.


She adds this uber-sexiness and kinky lingerie is not actually for the women's sexuality and sense of selves, but rather made to please their husbands.


Isn't this kind of sad? It further oppresses the position of Muslim women, making them sex objects for their husbands.  Not only do they have to be sexual objects, but they have to make themselves desirable, pretty and sexy otherwise their husband will go and find a prettier, more sexy girl to hump. It's like their existence on earth is only to sexually please men, and what's worse is these women led to believe, fooled that kinky lingerie is their key to freedom of sexual expression.
