Hijabi by Mona Hayder (03:19)
Reflection Questions - How does Mona Hayder seem to regard the practice of veiling in this music video? Is it a symbol of her identity? A mark of her faith? A political statement? In her lyrical expression Mona states,
"What that hair look like
Bet that hair look nice
Don't that make you sweat?
Don't that feel too tight?
Yo what yo hair look like
Bet yo hair look nice
How long your hair is
You need to get yo life
You only see Oriental
You steady working that dental
You poppin off at the lip
And run ya mouth like a treadmill
Not your exotic vacation
I'm bored with your fascination
I need that PayPal, PayPal, PayPal
If you want education" (Hayder, 2017).
What can you gather from these lyrics with regard to Islamic gender norms in comparison and contrast to western gender expectations for women?
