          On one hand, I get what you’re saying.

          On the other hand, I’ve gone to school in the US with girls who were under Christian households where the women in the house were absolutely forced into what to wear by the men in the house (in this case, it was skirts), so I have some first hand experience of how victims act when it comes to being forced to wear certain articles of clothing.

          Given the history, especially recent history, surrounding the burqa, I’m not sure we could believe someone who says they legitimately want to wear it because of personal preference or expression vs. they are saying they want to wear it out of fear for their health or safety.

          Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world where everyone is nice to each other and no one is forced to do anything they don’t want to do.

        I’m sorry, why is the ability of choice, an inclusion of force to you?

        Don’t u see the 3 “shades”?

        -Force women to wear smt -Let women choose what to wear -Force women not to wear something

        I know the problem is that you don’t wanna sre it, but hopefully somebody sees this before going the wrong path.

        Ok let’s look at your alternative.

        What do you ACTUALLY think women who are being forced by their families or communities to wear the veil are going to do with this kind of ban in place?

        If you guessed anything other than “become a domestic prisoner”, you’re wrong and have no place spouting off about this shit.

        This is the hostile architecture of multicultural feminism. You’re not helping shit, you’re just pushing the problem into the corners where it isn’t going to be seen by anyone who could raise the issue.
