I just cannot see forcing a woman to reveal a part of her body she is not comfortable revealing as

135. Yes in fact, I think it's appalling that women are forced by the rules that males invented to cover

up and hide their natural selves.

Women didn't invent these rules of covering the hair, hiding their faces, cloaking themselves in huge robes. Males did. Just because some women are used to it and somehow find themselves accepting of such corrupt and deviant ideals doesn't mean they're on their way to being liberated.

OMFG 'OHMYGAD she's wearing a headscarf AND she's DRIVING A CAR!!!! Look how LUCKY she is to have escaped that oppression!'

Seriously?

I see 'I'm still a slave to archaic ideals, but yeah, wow, look how liberated I am! Maybe one day, if I'm a good girl I can sit astride a horse with a leg on BOTH SIDES! Maybe if I'm really really lucky and daddy says I don't have to marry my 58 year old uncle when I'm 12, I'll be able to finish high school before I marry my cousin and pop out 8 kids!'

NO modern, realistic woman who seeks to not be enslaved by a ridiculous patriarchy ruled by fear and aggression would wear a headscarf much less those stupid robes, much less the veil. She has no advancement in the real world and is merely perpetuating an absolutely ridiculous extremist idealism. It has no place in modern society. None. At all. It is completely unacceptable and shouldn't be permitted. Granting its permission and deeming it acceptable perpetuates the extremist ideals and it will never, ever end.

Girls gotta take that power back from the men. The men aren't serving well that power they hold, and it alienates and corrupts everything it touches. Religions are like that. Until someone tells them what is right and what is wrong, the wrong and perverse will prevail. Every single time.
