It's deflection and trying to equate the downtrodden who have to wear the burqa to others who they perceive to be the same as the women who are forced to wear this attire, it's insulting and offensive to women.
It's like the shameful equation that the stone age ideology of Isil is the same as Christianity. It's been said before but worth repeating that the mindless and usually vicious stupidity of the left is on avid display.
I wonder how the many women on here championing the burqa would feel if their faces were pixellated out of society, their persona reduced to persona non grata, their faces anathema and their bodies shrouded from head to toe, not a sliver of their body visible.
Having to face the wall in public to lift the veil and eat a spoonful at a time whilst their husbands and sons wear shorts and interact in public.
The "cultural cut" men are insisting females have in Australia, men taking their children overseas to be mutilated whilst the men's genitalia is left intact, the child brides as young as 9 being taken overseas and married off to adult men, all these practices are to subjugate, dehumanize and erase women from normal life.
It's not just the burqa or other garments women are forced to wear but all the other practices that are associated with it and all at the hands of men. The burqa can't be taken singularly, it can't be removed from the other practices associated with the doctrines women have to obey whilst men are free.
Most on here refuse to acknowledge any of the above, most on here are only defending women in Australia to wear it if they choose, most on here turn their eyes away from all it entails for millions of women.
Nobody is championing the burqa.
The burqa has nothing to do with FGM, nothing at all.
This whole debate has nothing to do with the rights of women, only with the demonisation of muslims, dividing the nation and gaining support for Abbott and co by creating fear within society.
