Question:
If you had to choose A or B, do you think they wear this full body and face covering, even in the height of summer, because its a combination of cult programming, how they were raised, their dominant cultural views formed from very young, in combination with being fearful of their husbands if they dared to NOT wear it.
or B, They are just strong independent females exercising their rights to wear whatever they, without any pressure, decided for themselves to wear?
Another question, you say to me "You'd prefer to allow the state to tell you what to wear for security reasons." like its a bad thing. So I'll ask you, if you believe that so much, then does it also apply to men? If a group of Trump deplorables decided to wear balaclavas (and probably also open-carry weapons in public), that would be fine. The State should not be able to decide anyones outer garments for security or any other reason?
And yes, men are more physically dominant, so women and children should, if needed, have specific laws to protect them. The point of what I said there was that there are examples of the State stepping in to say to a cult that they cannot behave a certain way in a western liberal democracy.
