There is no Defending the Burka

Discriminatory Values

We can have no tolerance for cultural values that are discriminatory. Men in Islamic countries are not forced to reciprocate the covering of any part of their body to reduce the sexual arousal of women around them, and so it should not be the responsibility of women to do the same.
 
That is indeed the rationale behind it – that men are victims of women when women show them their hair or bodies, and that should a man be enticed by such a woman, and has sinful thoughts or even acts on it, it is because she seduced him by not properly covering herself up.
 
The ridiculousness of it is obvious; that men are not solely responsible for the going-ons in their own heads, and the actions their bodies then follow, and that somehow it is the responsibility of the women around them, is so comically irrational that one would imagine it to be a work of fiction.
 
But no. Women in these Islamic countries have been jailed and murdered and raped as a consequence of their purported sinful desire to make men less pious by not wearing the proper hijab.

Forsaken Sisters

And this leads us to the most exquisite betrayal of all. Women in Western countries, countries where there would be no legal repercussion for them to do away with them, who continue to wear them and even make their children wear them.
 
To quite literally spit on the murdered spirits of their sisters in these Sharia countries who have put their lives on the line to fight against such a disgusting concept – even with the luxury of the legal protections of a more progressive country, they choose to keep wearing them because it is “easier than challenging the status quo”.
 
What disgraceful behavior, as a woman, to defend a practice that makes women the violent targets of men’s sexual urges.
