So covering you hair while praying "because of angels" sends a strong signal that human females are meant for human males. I wonder if that's another reason that the human lifespan became so much shortened after the Flood: someone who lives for 900 years is incredibly robust. A woman like this wouldn't die of a heart attack and prob wouldn't even faint when approached by a supernatural being.

I think I am rather modest for the same reasons Artemis was: no pearls for pigs. (I, also, swim naked in natural waters.)<br /><br />In my opinion main reason why women "should" cover their heads when praying etc. is not modesty, but to remind the woman in question that she is serving her God, not her vanity. I don't cover my head normally (other than weather reasons), but in church I definitely would, just to remind myself why I am there. And ladies used to always have a hat in church. <br /> <br />Veiling married women has also been a symbol of ownership. Only a man who "owns" that woman is allowed to see her in all her beauty. I actually find that idea rather sweet. <br /><br />Modesty also helps you to keep certain distance to other people. I like that. People see that I am not to be measured with the same scale they use for those "leggingses and cameltoes" -women. Housewife Outdoorsnoreply@blogger.com
