I don't understand why men are allowed to dress fashionably, style their hair, are able to show their body except for their awrah and be able to sing and dance while women can't wear minimal makeup, have to wear baggy clothes, their clothes have to be unfashionable and dark, can't speak loudly or laugh in public, they can't sing, recite or dance either.
Why do women need to hide themselves so much when men don't?
“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And God is well acquainted with all that they do” - 24:30.
Modesty also applies to men. I don't see how a man walking around shirtless is being modest in looks. If men think that women should cover up so that they're not tempted to look then why do they think the same doesn't apply to them? Do women not find men attractive?
BOTH men and women are told to lower their gaze. It doesn't say to only lower your gaze if a women is covered, or lower your gaze if a man is covered. Lower your gaze and be modest. End off.
