I, at least, am not a Christian (or Jew, or Muslim). I don't know about her. I also tend to stick to covering my legs to the knee, and she covers arms to wrist and legs to ankles. We view this as a rebellion against the patriarchal idea that women exist for men to ogle and must be on display at all times.Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695808411116664337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067817219216094782.post-71353748867856465972010-02-09T18:57:13.601-08:002010-02-09T18:57:13.601-08:00I essentially agree with you.

The issue though is one of "neutralization" of religion in the public square.<br /><br />In Quebec, there is a call for people working in the public sector not to wear headscarves and other ostensible religious garb. I think it is dehumanizing and makes the public sector worker a kind of "cog" in the statist machine. Who really believes that the girl in the hijab is proselytizing? I don't. <br /><br />Your concerns about women's autonomy will be overlooked precisely because of this. It's not really a women's issue, because men are subject to it, too.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038275826830875246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067817219216094782.post-35726539235400488472010-02-08T19:42:38.343-08:002010-02-08T19:42:38.343-08:00I love wearing lovely headscarves, peek-a-boo veil...I love wearing lovely headscarves, peek-a-boo veils and clever hats. The Queen always wears headscarves when visiting one of her more rural castles...my grandmother never left the house without a hat. <br />If I lived in the desert like Arabia, I would want to wear an all-over cover to keep my hair clean. Also, it's kind of fun to be able to see out while no one can see in.<br />It's not what you do, ladies...it's how you do it!
