- ricardobeat 4y agoThe difference is that France wants to forbid a symbol of oppression over women, while the middle east wants to forbid expressions of freedom. Take that as you will.
- jacooper 4y agoNot sure women who want to wear hijab voluntarily would agree.
- ricardobeat 4y agoShit, I think I mixed up the comment I wanted to reply to. Was thinking of the Burqa mentioned initially. Still don't think equating the level of freedom in Qatar to the West is a fair comment.
- jacooper 4y agoSame thing applies to the burqa. If women wear it voluntarily, then its their choice and their freedom of expression to do so, there is no oppression.
- snapcaster 4y agosymbol of oppression _to you_. Can't you just admit it's also bad instead of trying to defend the policing of women's clothing?
