I don't care much about what adult women do, but when I see a grown woman in the US in a full black outfit, rather than just a head scarf, I have to think that there is a bit of a "fuck you" to American culture.  Her family is trying to make sure that we understand that they don't approve of our culture. It's a bit rude. . . [/quote]

Not particularly.

I would object to kids dressed without winter coats in winter weather, too. Jeans and a long sleeve cotton/spandex shirt in the summer in most of the US is not appropriate. It's too heavy and too hot.  Parents could at least make an effort to dress those girls in light pants and shirts, but they don't.   It's abusive. Over-heating, dehydration and heat stroke are real issues even when dressed appropriately.  It's a worse issue when the kids are wearing jeans. Kids are everyone's concern, not just the parents.

As far as adults go, we require our American military women to dress in the full black outfit when they are in Saudi, because it's respectful of our hosts.  Our reporters wear headscarves when they are reporting from Muslim countries. Our First Ladies frequently wears headscarves when visiting Muslim countries. The refusal of some Muslim women to modify their dress from the full black outfit to something more similar to what Americans wear when they are here is disrespectful.

WTF are you all talking about? How is it disrespectful for a woman to cover herself because she believes god wants her to do that, or because that is her comfort zone based on how she's dressed her entire adult life? She is covering herself to respect herself and for god.[/quote]
