This ideal of sexual modesty for women is taken further and goes on to highlight even more differences between men and women in the Awlad" Ali. For example, women are required to adhere to a strict dress code, imposing a physical difference between the two gender groups. While men are expected to dress in a fashion that is suitable for anyone who is attempting to be an honourable Bedouin, women are expected to take an extra step and be even more conscious of their dress. Women are required to cover all of their hair (inclusive of their body and head), except for that on the face itself. This is supposed to further show how a woman defers from her sexuality and expresses modesty to the highest degree.
Another example of the differences between men and women comes through in the female practice of veiling. Men are only required to pay direct respect to their superiors through basic courtesy. In the case of women, the practice exists that they veil (by taking a piece of their head dress and pulling it up over the face to a certain degree depending on the situation) for most men. This isn't directly related to sexuality in the same way that the attire and practice of sexual modesty are, but it is another form of modesty that women are socially expected to adhere to. Men are not required to take these extra steps with regards to sexuality. Men are also not required to show modesty, as it is a contradiction of the "strength" that they are supposed to emit.
Religion is another defining factor of the differences between the genders. Men are permitted to pray much more than women and have fewer restrictions - the main being, for men, that they are not allowed to pray after sexual intercourse. There is one main reason for the different restrictions between the two. Men are considered "pure" in terms of religious purity, whereas women are often considered unclean. This state of the absence of cleanliness is not always so and is often only associated with childbirth, pregnancy and menstruation.
