I’ve yet to meet a woman who wasn’t into a good foot-rub. It’s my go-to opening move for the Netflix-and-Chill date and rarely fails to end in us at least making out. I never really got “foot-fetish” as a guy thing. It struck me more as a girl thing, with women using “rub my feet” as an excuse to initiate intimacy. And some guys just decided if a woman was showing any amount of feet, she must be coming on to him.

I mean that’s basically the idea behind any societal view which dictates that women should cover any particular part of their body, it’s not that muslim people inherently find hair sexy, it’s the societal norms which attached an intimate meaning to hair.

I think the issue isn’t the presentation of hair, but of femininity. And the more extreme interpretations of this (hardly unique to Islam - Puritanical Christians, orthodox Jews, and other more fanatical patriarchal faiths also demand women hide themselves) are about disguising any aspect of a person that might lead to a man being aroused. Eventually, you’re just shoving women into an entirely separate room, because the presumption is that men have zero self-control in any social setting.
