MAGA hats
shareA hijab.
shareSurely a rare sight in Holland, right...?🤔
shareIf only!
sharejust banned in Denmark I believe.
shareCan someone educate me on the reasoning behind the decision. So long as women want to wear them and are not forced to, what's the problem? Sometimes, the clothing acts as a form of protection against the sun.
shareIt robs the women of any identity. A way of saying you don't count.
shareThat makes sense, especially with cultural conditioning at an early age where the predisposed person has no real choice in the matter, even if it's presented to them as such. Thanks for helping me look at it a different way, Howie.
shareIn Iran the women are desperate to get rid of headscarves because they feel it's a symbol of oppression.
shareAnd that's if they even get a say. It's so bad over there that a lot of men are forced to wear them too as a form of public humiliation. Though, there's a group of men wearing them on purpose as a form of protest.
shareNo, that's a ban on the niqab and burqa.
sharethats even better
shareI hope we're next. I just saw one today that didn't cover the face, but pretty much everything else. The woman was even wearing gloves. In this heat I had the urge to take off all of my clothes!
shareYou could do so much for women's liberation and make a few guys happy at the same time.
shareMaybe I should join Pussy Riot? Those chicks use any political cause to go naked.
sharewould you qualify ??

If I take off my shirt I can make Pussy Riot great again.
shareWow, I never thought I'd hear that in the same sentence, absolutely golden!
shareI think its important to point out the different types of Hijabs. I'm fine with the scarf type, but its the full faced one that I think is wrong and is a symbol of oppression. Hell, even non-muslim women wear them. I have an Egyptian tenant who is a Coptic Christian and she wears the scarf type all the time.
shareThe reason for all of the hijabs is the same, so I'm not for any of them.
I grew up with a muslim grandmother and aunts who wore loose-fitting headscarves, but it rather seemed to be part of the traditional farmer's clothing than a religious statement. Nowadays I hardly see any woman wear a headscarf in their village except for prayer.
Not sure what the laws are in Denmark, but thankfully we have Freedom of Religion in the US. Now I'm against forcing a woman to wear one, but if she wants to, it should be allowed.
shareDenmark has freedom of religion, but it also has a law against clothing tgat covers the face.
Difficult to know if a woman isn't pressured into wanting to wear one. Looking at what's happening in Iran, that seems to be a huge problem in muslim cultures. If the idea behind the hijab wasn't so despicable and against our own society's core belief in female emancipation and equality, I wouldn't care if anyone chose to wear it.
I should clarify its the Burqa the bothers me most. Inhumane in my opinion. What country is your family from if you don't mind me asking?
shareMy father is from Bosnia.
shareI read about the Bosnian War a while back from the viewpoint of a War Corespondent and had never realized what a complex situation it really was. The book was "My War Gone By, I miss You So" in case your interested.
shareIt was indeed a complex situation, but I'd rather not dwell on it anymore.
