That's your interpretation. Women who cover their faces may very well believe that you aren't special enough to see them. The sight of their face is reserved only for special people, and you aren't one of them.

Absolutely. In my opinion, these complete coverings serve the purpose of isolating women from broader society and making them only interact with those of their own religious community of believers.

I can see you believe that no woman may actually choose to live like that. You say you want women to have freedom of choice, but in actuality, you only want them to have you-approved choices. If you disapprove of a particular lifestyle, it should not be offered as a choice. Got it.

I never said anything about not allowing women to wear them or whether they choose to wear them. In response to the comment that Niqab wearing women may believe you aren't special enough to see them, I said these coverings serve the purpose of isolating women from broader society. Later I added that the intent doesn't matter, they have that effect.

Someone said I like to pretend that niqabs are more isolating than they are. No, I really think they're pretty isolating, at least in general Western society.

Again - if someone wants to be isolated from a "broader society", and you don't want them to, is it a good enough reason to legislate against it?  I think not. [/quote]

There are probably klansmen who welcome this line of thinking so that they'll be free to conduct their evil in disguise.[/quote]
