While sexual lust is something I have struggled with my whole life, my interactions in an interfaith community three years ago helped me to re-focus my perceptions in light of those around me....

Thanks for asking!
It is often a struggle, but I have a group of friends that keep me accountable. I also think about the horrors of human trafficking and my own close friends who are women, and being so digusted by it all that I am generally able to avoid it.

From your article...
"As an attractive woman she had often received attention based on
surface level attraction. But anyone who was in the room that day
will tell you she had far more to offer than just her looks. By wear-
ing the Hijab she became well respected for her mind. She was no
longer being looked at as an object."
That is entirely false. Her words and her mind are what gave her the respect she deserved. By stating that it was a Hijab that gave her respect only supports the attention given from a "surface level attraction" and you are still looking at her as an object.
