Reply #25: is this the same?

That said, I've known Muslims who weren't of the "women must wear veils" stripe, much as I've known a lot of Christians who weren't of the "must protest abortion clinics" or "there must be mandatory prayer in schools" stripes.

protesting abortion and mandatory prayer are relatively extreme compared to veils, which is entirely common. I'm not saying veils is extremist religious control...or is it? What has created a system where entire peoples are made into second-class citizens?

What about the makeup? Is it proper for Christians to demand that their women look a certain way? Why has a culture grown up around the church involving the adornment of women? Do you see how generations of men are taught they they are superior because of all this? Because of all this belief?
