[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it matter that there is a double standard? Should the western world follow what the Muslim world does where it pertains to forcing women to wear, nor not wear certain garments?

No, we shouldn't.  I for one do not like walking out of a Panera bread in Springfield with my young daughters and having a man "shoo" us away from the outside tables because his harm of burkas are eating outside with him and his other friends.  Scared the crap out of my daughter and her friends,  this is not the Middle East and I could care less about their repressive culture.

similar situation happened to me at a different place.  I stared him down, though. I will not be intimidated into changing anything I do in my day to day life.  This is my worry.  They leave oppressive countries and bring their crap here.  No thank you.[/quote]

The Starbucks in the Burlington Coat Factory shopping center in Bailey's Crossroads has been taken over by Middle Eastern men who monopolize the tables both inside and outside.   It is very uncomfortable even walking by them because of their nasty comments. [/quote]

I was just going to post about that!

I live across town and happened to be in the area shopping.  I walked over to that starbucks and their were lines of men sitting outside smoking. They all stopped talking and just stared or glared at me in silence. I walked into starbucks to order and the same thing happened. It was the creepiest, most uncomfortable and weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.

I kept thinking in my head "wtf was going on?!?" It felt like taking the wrong turn down a dark alley at night and walking into a bunch of gang bangers or meth heads in the middle of a drug deal.

It was a very negative experience. I was in shorts and a T and after going through that I can sympathize with why those women feel tye need to cover themselves head to toe. What a horrible life for these women to live if that is how the men in their world react to women.

I really feel for those women wrapped up head to toe in burkas.  It might be a choice to dress like that but it is clearly not a free choice.[/quote]
Wow. I'd want to make a cop report of that. Wtf.[/quote]
