Of course it's OK - it's not like anyone's feelings matter, not mine, and not yours.

Incidentally, I don't cover and don't believe in any god at all.  But hey, my heart still brims with gratitude that you're willing to die on the hill of my rights.  Also with amusement that you manage to paint a picture of your opponent that suits your narrative without a shred of evidence.

I don't want you to respect and admire hijab; it frankly doesn't matter to me.  All I want is to point out your hypocrisy when you look at a Muslim woman with your big earnest eyes and say, really, I want to understand, whyyyy? whyyyy?   And she says, I cover because I feel my hair has sexual power and I'd rather not show it.  That's her why.  And instead of withdrawing like a normal person who says, ok, not for me, I don't get it but to each her own, you throw yourself into the most ridiculous argument of the century telling her she shouldn't feel that way, that men have hair too, some men have long hair, some dude years ago used to powder his wig, and really, the most irrelevant things ever.   What do you think is gonna happen? A Muslim lady is going to slap her forehead and say, glory be! I see the light and DCUM showed it to me!

You don't want to hear what the other feels.  You are just interested in your soapbox.  And it's kind of comical how you don't see it.

And yeah, you did use "Western" and "Muslim" as opposites. It's OK. Own it.

Was any of this necessary or even remotely justified?

Multiple posters have said they defend a woman's right to veil (maybe nobody said they were going to die on the hill). So you mock them.

Multiple posters have pressed you to understand why women veil, because you set yourself up as the expert here. Nobody forced you to set yourself up as the expert on this subject. Unfortunately, your explanation that hair has sexual power is hard to understand or accept for many here, so they press you and ask more questions. So you call their perfectly natural and reasonable objections (men wear long hair et cetera) the "most ridiculous argument of the century."

And yeah. You say you're atheist. Then you have Western values too, because in that post the word "western" obviously meant values not skin color. You should own that.

Honestly, you're the one who should have walked away. You set yourself up to speak for the veil. If you don't want to answer questions, then don't spend  40 pages arguing and insulting people over it. [/quote]
