Its also interesting that you've segregated a religion with gender specifics. Next time I look at the Quran, I'll be sure to turn to the men only section.

Basically what I am saying is, stop concentrating on women's issues so much. Most of us already know what is expected of us and if we don't it's not like we cannot teach ourselves or that other women, friends or family will not correct us. It's really annoying to keep having you men constantly self-righteously posting articles about hijab and how it's fard and we have to do it this way or it's considered wrong. I started wearing hijab because my female teachers at Islamic school taught me about it and my female friends encouraged me.

Have you ever stopped to make sure your clothing is 100% halaal/sunnah? Do you wear short pants everyday to avoid dragging garments? Do you make sure your knees and navel NEVER show? Is your beard long enough, what about your mustache? Do you ever see any women going on and on about these specifically men's issues? No, because we expect that you already know about it or that other men will educate you on it. So kindly shut it and go concentrate on your own issues (like I mentioned before, the more serious ones are spousal abuse in Muslim homes which often entails a Muslim man beating his wife and/or children, also you would be shocked at how many MUSLIM MEN indulge in pornography and other haraam activities...THESE are men's issues)

EXACTLY. Those are also men's issues that men should work on before coming here and preaching to women about how we should dress. Go ahead and advise your sister, mother, wife or daughter to wear hijab or dress more modestly (you cannot force them) but stay away from mass preaching to Muslim women.

Might I also point out, you are talking about modesty when your signature contains an immodest play on a very nice sister's screenname.
