please, this is serious...
I hope that it is not taken over and used as topic for argument.
After recently seeing a woman in dress where her head is covered (but not face) and whole body covered in clothing... (i dont know what race, religion etc)
I decided to look up a little about the reasons why women dress like this.
In the very brief research I have done... I have only found out that certain women are required to cover most of their body and sometimes their face.
I am trying to be more accepting and understand why this is done.
I suppose that I too live by rules imposed on me as a woman, in this country.... I cant walk around baring my breasts or genital area without being liable to arrest. (though Id hope that if I did, you lot would come up with bail money!!)
However, I am struggling with this covering up thing.... for me as a western women, it appears like women are ashamed or something...
Again, let me reiterate, this not anti anyone.... and I hope that this topic can attract discussion without being removed or locked due to it being used as a slagging ground.
I am confused as to what women / men think will happen if they dont cover up etc...???
We all have our own ways....... Im just interested in learning why women dress like that as opposed to just being aware that they do.
