The lower house of Switzerland's parliament has given final legislative approval to a ban on face coverings, such as the burqas worn by some Muslim women.
i am glad that we are fighting these terrible regimes that enforce what women can and cannot wear by letting the regime enforce what women can and cannot wear
...so as i was saying, i am glad we are fighting women being forced to dress themselves a certain way by forcing them to dress themselves a certain way
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.
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.
