Requiring Wearing A Head Scarf, Burqa, Or Other Body Covering Is NOT Religion But Misogyny.

58. Are you familiar with the concept 'duress'?

When social, religious, and familial pressure demands you do X, I recognize not only will someone who doesn't know life any differently do it, they may come to seek it as the 'norm'.

This is why you wont' see me say 'it should be banned'.

But I will not pretend it is anything other than what it is; shackles foisted upon someone. I will call it what it is, and I will hold out a hand and offer safe space where people can drop it and walk away from it.

Interesting that you compare with 'blacks'. When slavery was the norm, Harriet Tubman would help escaping slaves, as we all know. But depending on how much you know about her, you may not know that when an escaping slave had second thoughts, she put her pistol to their heads and told them 'you'll be free, or die a slave'...

Social change can make people uncomfortable. That discomfort doesn't convince me the change isn't worth it. I doubt the discomfort caused by my brand of encouraging social change is anything like the discomfort some escaping slaves felt.
