It's also interesting how seriously you take feminist issues when it involves Muslim groups.

I'm sure you'll be comforted to know I'm very much opposed to Christian attempts to restrict women's rights too. Thanks for asking.

It will always be politically charged but dummies like you have charged it even further hopelessly unintentionally with elements of Muslim resistance to an intolerant west thanks to your brutally clumsy actions and rhetoric that can't even be squared with your oft cited love of freedom against the supposed oriental despotism.

It's actually impossible for individual clothing to be politically charged (in a liberal democracy, anyways), because one of the central principles of pluralist liberalism is that the political sphere cannot extend into the personal one such that choice of clothing is a politicized issue

I too think that french catholic nuns should be banned after they've been coerced into enforced celibacy after being indoctrinated and forced into never enjoying sex by a pretense of they chose it after being indoctrinated by Catholicism for their entire lives.

In a democracy, people should wear what they want and express themselves freely. Why, who where what, it's none of your business if they're not harming you.

Turns out totalitarian ideologies are brittle and have trouble attracting support from people who disagree with them by even teeny tiny amounts

But they didn't end up like Spain, in the brief period where those who wanted to return France to the glory of a counter-revolutionary openly Catholic state found success they needed an outside Nazi invasion to achieve their five minutes in the sun, with the post war fallout being predictably disastrous for them.

Jesus, the Papal denunciation that you pointed out here for Action Francaise was stripped away just in time for world war 2 when the Catholic Church decided that working with Spanish style notfascism was A-OK to heed off those drat commies.

Modest clothing which doesn't include face covering for a small self-selected group in a religion I'd be happy to see die out anyway isn't really the same as a legal mandate for all women in multiple countries to wear burqas or be beaten or arrested, which has subsequently spread as a coercive practice outside their borders. Also, aren't you a socialist? What are you doing defending anti-egalitarian religious customs in the name of personal liberty?

It changes to astonishing when it's from the same crowd that sees structural violence everywhere *but* in a patriarchical society stemming from the 600s AD.

The ECB offering incentives to Greece to adhere to
civilized economical principles ? Capitalist tyranny! The worker having to toil in the factory while enjoying social security, paid holidays etc. while there are people even better off than him? Fascist Oppression!
A society that instills into women, but not men, the notion they have to hide like lepers from the public to be considered decent? Well, that seems like a worthy cause to be defended by free Western males.

I'm sorry, did France also pass a law saying you have to be beaten if you're not wearing a burqa? Because that's the only way it'd be relevant. You violent European types used to beat women for daring to show their bare calves, so we're going to have to ban pants and and any dress that goes below the knee. Since you're so concerned about clothing, after all.


There's nothing socialist about your bizarre racial hatred of women dressing unstylishly.

The coercive values that led to those laws have spread beyond the borders, as I said. France banned the burqa, which is an extreme solution, but may help some women escape that tyranny. Your regard for women is really coming through in thinking that the worst part of an oppressive uniform that actually is mandated in many places for women is that it's unstylish though. Your phony sentimental attachment to traditions that oppress half the population has nothing to do with socialism.

When you define liberalism in such a way that necessarily excludes religious people, turns out a lot of them reject liberalism. Both in the 1800s and today
