I am not that Woman contrasts both the explicit and discreet ways in which women are oppressed in society.Through a partially feminist lens, Naheed makes the point that women deserve respect and they are not commodities.

This explicit oppression may be absent in the west but Naheed states that women are being discreetly oppressed in western cultures, by having their worth tied to their bodies.The beauty of women is more often then naught used in advertisements to sell a variety yolo bro hey hi
