I once read an outrageous statistic about north african muslims
in france that a whole bunch of the women who wear it
are literally forced to. I'm the son of immigrants so I get cultural pressure and don't really think it's a very big deal, but the statistic I read made it out like the women who wore it were forced. That's hosed up, but i'm not surprised: most devout muslim women in the islamic diaspora just wear the hijab.

I think the niqab is ridiculous pre-modern nonsense, but I respect the women who choose to wear it because of the traditionalist aspect of it all. I'm not sure if i'm socially conservative, but I have a lot of respect for social conservatism. I don't even have that big an issue with Christian fundamentalism for the same reason.

True story: i live in the most ratchet part of florida (Broward), but i once saw a muslim family decked out in full religious regalia coming on the bus. They were probably persian I think, but one of the older sons in the group was especially swarthy. I wanted to ask at least one of them a whole bunch of drat questions about their culture and whatnot, but its pretty clear their car must've broke down and that this was their first (and last) time on the bus. They kept to themselves.

cool story about how you once saw some muslims

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

This is really an incomprehensible statement to me. My great-grandmother used to wear headscarves all the time, but she was old enough to remember World War 1 and that's just what employed women wore back in the day. If I saw a second-generation Polish-German immigrant girl living in the USA wearing a headscarf, I wouldn't compliment her on her sense of tradition, I would wonder what century she thinks she lives in.

the hijab is the headscarf, the niqab is the crazy ninja-esque robe which is not exactly pre-modern given that it came about long after islam was founded and was worn only by a small minority until recently

If you are talking to someone in a niqab how do you know who you're talking to? If there's a group of women wearing niqab how do you tell who is who? Do they have to wear identifiers when they go out? I can't tell who the hell they are!!!

The hijab is like a hat I guess

In light of the ebola epidemic, I think of it like this: what would the full covering of women outside the home mean in terms of infectious disease spread? Certainly, it may have reduced the ability for transmission among women in isolated tribal communities, if not for the face mask alone.

What does that say about the value of women vs the value of men in such societies? Is it unnatural to collect objects of value, to prize them above common possessions? And if a woman is to be valued above a man, will it not become ingrained that men must protect their investments? And this is why I oppose the niqab: for, despite its potential public health benefits, in areas of the developed world with healthcare infrastructure able to contain endemics, does it not say that you still will be valued for gender alone and not for your personality?

No, you're not supposed to talk to them, the niqab is there to make you super uncomfortable so you just sort of try to ignore them but you can't because there is one or more people wearing outlandish getups nearby what the gently caress are they doing?

They are literally outlanders. N'wahs. Fetchers.

also i bet they're p nice during the winter when a hijab won't keep you from freezing your nose off

burqas also look cool in a fantasy villain way, sucks hard if a guy is making them wear it tho

The one time I talked to a women in a niqab, my poor hearing reared it's head and I couldn't understand a word she was saying because of the sound-muffling property of the niqab.

I just kept saying "I can't hear you. Sorry, speak up? Sorry, I can't make out what your saying." I'm sure she thought I was just loving with her because I could see her frowning like poo poo through the little mail-slot thing, then she left in a huff.
