Poll question: BURQA POLL
   
Was reading discussions re: this and just wondered what the general direction of DU opinion was
Poll result (90 votes)
Have no objection to the burqa, it has no particular connection to misogyny and is just a morally neutral garment    (7 votes, 8%)   Vote
I dislike the burqa and think that in most cases it has to do with patriarchal oppression, but for certain reasons I don't believe it should be outlawed    (49 votes, 54%)   Vote
Wearing a burqa should be made a crime.    (34 votes, 38%)

Day-um.  They sure do like playing with fire, don't they?  :fuelfire:

Of course, they're not the ones hangin' bullseyes on their chests and going east for 16-month vacations with the Taliban, are they?

The certain reasons you won`t say are because doing so would mean your political,world view is hopelessly flawed and you will never admit that.
Instead you will accept women being oppressed and subjugated.

How about black women somewhere?
Same situational ethics?

That would make you both a racist and a sexist but God forbid you admit that there are enemies to this country.
Perhaps because you consider them a comrade in arms for a greater cause?

Is that such a bad thing?

Wait until you see her in her diaphanous gown on the cover of Watch Tower magazine.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

31. Misogyny or no, if you've been raised to conceal your face in public, 
 forcing you to go bare faced would be like asking the average American matron to do her grocery shopping topless.

Then, there's this:
