(32,324 posts)Well, we can''t take off the damn burkhas, as then we would be playing right into their notions of tarting ourselves up! Damn if I am going to let the men see my face. That is what they want to have happen.
On her KPFA radio show, Caroline Casey once discussed the fact that although American women deplore the burkha societies, we American women have burkhas of our own. Young woman who don't allow themselves to eat a single decent meal due to the fact that to be a size two (which is a requirement for most women of feeling okay about themselves) means not eating very much. Or becoming bulimic, if you do eat.
Anyway in putting up the OP, I envisioned a protest situation where women en masse went topless to stand in solidarity with each other at the Nation's Capital or where ever. I certainly didn't mean for a woman to take off her top and head home from work at 2Am on the Chicago El system. I was thinking about it being an en masse protest. And for those who are modest, maybe fake plastic breasts.
