I am speaking out against all religions and cultures that require women to swaddle themselves. The roots of this so-called "modesty" is shame of women's bodies and blaming women for men's sexual predatory thoughts and behaviors. No! I do not want to see Hijabs, Berkas, Habits, Jewish Headscarfs or other oppressive and required clothing for women normalized. Where does such a dress code exist on earth for men? Let's see some men try to functon wrapped up in mandatory body-cover/shaming clothing when it is 100 degress outside, or when swimming, or running, or biking, or just living! Spare me the "discrimination" claim. Where the discrimination lies is in oppressive patriarchal cultures and religions! Destroy the Patriarchy!
