The Burka is horrendous,i find it a backward step for women in this country why would or should women endorse it.
Women have just spent a hundred years at least freeing ourselves from hiding behind long skirts so men cant see us why should we feel we have to go back to that just because of some warped view that 1st a women cant be liberated if men can see her or worse that most men in this country for instance are so out of control they cant be trusted or allowed to see women.
If i were a man i would be offended that some women suggest they feel liberated by being covered against mens eyes as if all men are uncontrollable, for me its more a symbol of sexual suppression than liberation,its a shame some women don't cry out about women in other countries being abused for not covering up rather than feeling offended for being asked to uncover themselves in this western country,women who want to dress modestly are capable of doing so without being covered from head to toe.
Im not saying women cant be too careful against attack here but lets name that for what it is,that would be sheer violence towards women which we all know isnt sexual.
Can we all feel offended because adverts of women in Bikini's were taken down, i have the right to look at those if i want to don't i? apparently not in London at least.
Normally i would say each to their own but i would refuse to cover up to that degree as i feel its a slippery slope for women.
If men don't want men looking at their wives maybe we should provide men with blind folds,will they go for that i wonder?
