(23,272 posts)In virtually EVERY aboriginal culture that has come in contact with "the west", their version of public nudity is ultimately prohibited. If those natives emigrate to "the west" their version of cultural and religious "dress" is prohibited. Sometimes even within their native lands their native "dress" is prohibited (Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, etc etc.) It's undeniable. We do not allow public nudity even when it's been the preferred dress for millenia before "our" (patriarchal religious) arrival. They have tried to assert that right. But they've been brutally beaten into submission by your cultural cohorts and have adopted western dress after centuries of abuse. Your myopia and ignorance of native cultures is to be expected and from your posts its obvious you have never considered their perspective. Even going topless would be incredibly powerful for women but we are denied that. For me, it would be quite the day to see a topless female judge adjudicate a male spousal abuser in court. Wicked. But that won't happen because women like you participate in enforcing shit like burqas and other oppressive garb for women that disappear them.
Your embrace of patriarchal religious enforcement on religious garb (para 2) is noted. Nuff said. Your position is deliciously exposed. Good luck with that. You can't even see the debate through the fog of the patriarchal blinders.
