You never answered - would you talk to a covered woman like this in real life? For real? Will you tell her to her face she's brainwashed, subjugated and gullible? Or are you just a keyboard warrior?[/quote]

Different PP here. Who cares? I doubt very much anybody here would say these things to somebody's face.

But pay attention closely here: right now we're anonymous on the Internet. Moreover, the original gripe, as written by several posters way back at the beginning of this thread, concerned what we *think* of women in hijab. Nobody but you is saying we'd would go up to veiled woman and say these things to her face. However, the Internet is a fabulous resource for talking anonymously about issues like this, don't you think?

I'm with PP about the "weird irony" of you, an atheist, trying to "save poor Muslim ladies." What exactly are your qualifications for speaking on their behalf? Because I have to say, you're not doing a great job here, just parroting the stuff about hair as a sexual weapon leading to STDs and then getting up in everybody's nose when we don't find you persuasive. You're not doing Muslim womenhood any favors.[/quote]
I never said anything about STDs and I couldn't care less about persuading you lot.  I think Muslim women ought to be able to have their reasons for covering without having to pass your purity test for these reasons. [/quote]

Sure. And other Muslim women are free to not like the growing trend of societally mandated hijab. And the rest of us are free to have an opinion on it. [/quote]
