Guys get whipped when they take them off. :D

Though I am sick of the burqas that have "Juicy" written across the ass.

I think there's the impression that having more options is better. The reality often falls short, but that has less to do with actual freedoms and more to do with the limits of human psychology. (More choices often raises anxiety, the worry of making the wrong choice, etc.) The Del Neri vs...

Well, yes. There are limits. But the point is: is it more empowering for women to have more freedoms to choose from, or fewer? We're not talking about women parading naked in the streets. We're talking about a woman who has the liberated choice of whether to wear a burqa or not if she wants...

In countries with freedoms, allow them. It's a matter of opinion, but to me it does more to damage the credibility of a social norm when outsiders can take it or leave it -- versus banning it outright as some statement about the other country. Let them see women walking freely in society without...

I hear what you're saying. But this is a little like the crazy states in the U.S. like Oklahoma that are passing bills to prevent Sharia law. It's irrelevant where it is not even an issue, and where it is relevant is completely unaffected. So any positives here largely amount to some symbolic...

:lol: Yeah, in Islam a "Sausage Fest" is considered a religious holiday involving beefcake shots of Pique and David Villa in their jock straps.

Someone told me the other day that the Quran instructs Muslims to cover themselves in pizza sauce and root for the Azzurri.

:lol: I :heart2: "You dress like a whore" videos.

And since God speaks Klingon, something is always left to interpretation.

Great post! :tup: I learned a perspective here that made a lot of sense. That's the best you can hope for in a thread like this. The great irony being that of all the countries in the world where women would be forced to wear a burqa or even hijab as something repressive forced upon them in...

It is a great comedy bit, though. Man, I should try to see him here tonight.

Now there's a man of my style.

I would expect -- no, demand -- a +rep from Dru for pointing that out. :D

I particularly like that the black forearm looks like something stolen off of a department store mannequin.

I think the underlying message is that Sheik wants women around the world to only adhere to his dress code as it pleases the Sheik. :oops:
