I don't know if she wants this but doubt it.

No men or children were affected.  Seem to be only women.  I doubt it is a disease.  Seems like it only affects older women.   I just don't understand why someone would do this voluntarily. There has to be extreme pressure to make someone want to dress all in black, from head to toe, covering the eyes except for slits, unable to see well, unable to move well.  Isolated and segregated.

I just don't understand.[/quote]
But why is it important that you understand it? It's not affecting you in any way. To you, it feels isolated and segregated. To her, it may feel protected and embraced.  You are imposing your ideas of what is right on someone else's body. I see people to whose choice of clothing I object on a daily basis, but my ability to understand these choices is not a part of the picture.[/quote]

Some Muslim women who wear the face covering wear it because they attract a lot of attention. I was at a mosque and a woman walked in and sat near us in the prayer area. She was covered from head to toe. She was the only woman who covered her face in a group of about 100. Since we were amongst women she too off her face veil. I couldn't believe my eyes. She was absolutely gorgeous with big, green eyes and long, brown hair. She was the type of woman that was so beautiful that even women would turn their heads to look at, sort of like a Paulina Porizkova except with green eyes. So -- I guess I don't blame her for wanting to avoid all that staring and attention. In Islam, we are supposed to dress modestyly to avoid attention.[/quote]
