Man punches nurse for removing wife's burqa during c-section

116. We can and do make laws governing what people may wear in public. We can and do impose our "views"

on everyone else. We as a society make rules about what we will or will not allow in the public square. To say otherwise is a blatant lie. The burqa is designed to erase women from society - there's no good argument to be made that it serves any place in our society other than you are endorsing the oppression of women.

Arguing for this misogynistic cultural garment designed to erase women makes about as much sense as arguing for a federal judge to be able to wear a KKK hood while serving on the bench. Ridiculous right?

Yes, because we as a society have made laws regarding what we want worn in public, we do impose our "views" on each other. We make laws regarding what we believe is appropriate garb and what offends us as a society.

Beyond all of that, what you may consider "sexual" is nowhere near a universal standard. My BIL gets an erection from pretty feet. Ban bare feet? They can be realllllyy sexual! Many believers in Islam believes hair is sexual. Ban it's display too? In aboriginal cultures breasts are not sexual. Does their view count in society? All of these are examples of clothing choices we have decided as a community to discuss and resolve. Why does the burqa get some sort of free pass from the same scrutiny and debate? It doesn't even have the advantage of being religious. It's a culturally imposed shroud that signifies to all that the person underneath is a secondary citizen.
