but it makes me very uncomfortable to see women wearing in Vancouver wearing hijabs, niquabs and chadors. It feels like an open declaration of the belief women aren't equal to men. Her hair is too sexual, the curve of her neck and even her mouth and smile.
If I visited some parts of the Middle East, I would be expected to wear one of these coverings. That's fine, when in Rome and all. But why then is the reverse not true? All women should be able to feel the wind in their hair and not be ashamed.

It makes me uncomfortable too but so does alot of things that new Canadians do. I just put it to cultural differences and don't judge because what if a woman choose to wear that. They do say it is a form of modesty... one Muslim friend said to me... although he was a man.
My point is: if a woman choose to wear it, isn't that okay? and yes some of them are pressured into it but I do believe there is a small minority that choose ot wear it.

It's totally about religion. Fuck it. It's okay. Religious expression should have zero place in a modern society and somehow we call religion culture. Big mistake. Abrahamic Religion came to rise through the oppression and violence, especially Islam and Christianity. Idiots. The root is oppression and all things that grow out of this are tainted forever. Lets pluck the flower of retardation and plant a new seed in it's place.

I would be able to tell people to get bent when they piss me off. I could skip the pleasantries and avoid small talk and conversations about the weather. I could say what I really think about my boss. I could cut to the chase and tell the person I fancy to shag me instead of playing hard to get, I would never have to pretend I was happy when I wasn’t. In a perfect world.

"All women should be able to feel the wind in their hair and not be ashamed."
Of course they should, but if they want to wear a hijab it's none of your business. You sound like George Bush, trying to forcibly "liberate" people according to your western bullshit ideology. You care so much about women's rights and equality that you want to force them to dress in a way that makes you "comfortable"....

i feel totally uncomfortable when i see women revealing their bodies in ways that are totally pornographic.....they look like trashy strippers to me. I cannot fathom why women would advertise themselves as a cheap f**k. nonetheless this is the way of the west right now. honestly wearing a head covering is less offensive to me than seeing someone's underwear. it is really easy to say women are beholden to these forms of modesty without checking out how women who think they're free feel inclined to sell themselves so short. sad.

draping and covering a living person from head to toe with a garment to be worn in public is a severe form of oppression anywhere in the world today. in my opinion this is not about religion but about control and possession of a woman by a man. this is not necessary anywhere in the world.
