47. The burqa is the "patriarchal dominance over women"
Edited on Sat Jan-30-10 11:02 PM by Confusious
If you have read anything about it.

Most women are forced to wear it. A small minority might like to wear it.

How would feel about chinese foot binding? That was banned in china. Maybe the women there liked doing it.

You seem to be locked in this all/ nothing choice. There is never such a choice. 80% of the women probably don't like the burqa and wouldn't wear it if the had any sort of choice ( Which is to say not be killed for not wearing it). Should we let 80% suffer for the 20% minority?
