In reply to the discussion: Requiring Wearing A Head Scarf, Burqa, Or Other Body Covering Is NOT Religion But Misogyny. [View all]Kurska
(5,739 posts)I'm arguing against the normalization of this flaunting of religious tyranny. No you shouldn't be allowed to wear it for a drivers licenses, no your employer should not be forced to accommodate your choice of dress (anymore than I'd be allowed to claim that I should get to wear blue jeans and a wife beater to my job, no special accommodations for religion period).
When I see a hijab, what I think of is all the women who don't have a choice. That is what people should think of when they see one, not wishy washy "oh it is just their culture" b.s.
I'd be more happy around someone stark assed naked than wearing the religious uniform of the downtrodden. That doesn't mean I'm going to go around ripping it from people's heads though scoot. People have the right to look like fools.
Same goes for the outfit of nuns, at least as stupid as that it, I know it is 100% being worn by choice. I don't know if the woman wearing a hijab is doing it by choice or if she'd face the wrath of her family if she dared take it off. Sadly, that is the state we find ourselves in many western countries.
