But still and all, there's a lot to be said for listening to the recommendations of those who are older and wiser. So many of us make bad choices in our marriages because we succumb to a glamour which soon wears off, leaving us to contemplate the old saying . . "marry in haste; repent at leisure."
But still, why is there support for a double standard where Muslim men can show their faces (they are never veiled) and Muslim women must demonstrate their submission and their devoutness by wearing a veil?
Equality. Why accept anyrthing less? And why offer support for a system (even a religion) which fails to recognise the equality of consideration for every individual person, be they male or female?
Any system which preaches the inequality of the sexes, is not worthy of even one single follower. And yet there are millions who believe that women are inferior to men.
Wear your veil, your chador, your niqab, your burqa, and proclaim to all the world that you consider yourself the downtrodden chattel of your menfolk, who wouldn't wear this garb themselves, even in a pink fit.
I don't see how refusing to dictate to people what they may or may not wear in public is the same thing as supporting the reason they choose to wear it.
