Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

I don't want to see women subjugated by misogynistic religious extremists, but I am afraid that you are exactly right in how this legislation will pan out.

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Golfers are probably a more apt analogy than you realise. Most golf clubs insist that players adopt certain standards of dress. "Slacks", to use the ugliest word in the English language, collared...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

No, I'm not suggesting we eliminate religion, just don't pander to the loopier elements of it. Quite sensibly, we don't allow some of the crazy stuff like an eye-for-an-eye or polygamy or allowing...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

I confess to having absolutely no idea about the Canadian legislation in question. However it is clearly a good idea to not pander to religious extremists who require women to be bagged up when...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Oh, a surgeon's mask or a police diver's mask is for modesty? Every day is a school day indeed.

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

But seriously, in my opinion, complete head covering is the same thing as chastity belts.. driven by insecure fanatical men using religion as a crutch.

After a lifetime of subjugation - or...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Quite. The original basis of the argument for wearing a total head covering is not that the woman has the freedom of choice to do so; it is that it is necessary in order to prevent the woman's...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Rightly or wrongly, we do not live in anarchy where anything goes. We live in society. That, by definition, implies social engagement, social interaction. Our society has developed on the basis of...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Yes, many of them do it through "choice", the same way that some Hindu women throw themselves onto their husbands' funeral...

Re: The Bill 62 debate is back

Yes. There is no theological requirement to cover a woman's face. A niqab is only a head scarf, not a face-veil.
