        Good news: you don’t have to ascribe to an oppressive religious dress code. The people that do want to dress in ways that conform to their religious and cultural beliefs can, and that continues to have fuck-all to do with you.

            That’s not okay, which is why where are not and should not be any laws in our country regarding what to wear, what to read, what you are allowed to do with your body (as long as it doesn’t violate someone else’s or force them into violent, gory, or sexual situations)

            You hearing this, Christians? The USA isn’t here for you to make puritanical.

              The men forcing women to dress like this aren’t using the law to force them. Laws forbidding dressing like this are, theoretically, to protect them from being forced.

            The ones forced into it, I pity. In my area, it’s fairly common to see a women (and girls) out in the park in full religious garb, while their husband is in sweatpants and flip-flops. It definitely makes me angry. I honestly don’t think anyone chooses to dress like this unless they are forced to by a man.

              I see this sometimes from a distance, even with children. The boys are wild and loose, the girls on a tight leash.

              Unfortunately, trying to address that with the sledgehammer of The State is not easy to do safely.

              I’m open to the probability that there are such women. But I can’t imagine that they area anything but a sharp minority.
