Funny, because plenty of Muslim women consider the wearing of certain clothing as irrelevant to being a good Muslim. They emphasize that it’s very much a choice every Muslim woman gets to make.

Well, it might be evidence of something that isn’t great, Which is that at least some Muslims who move to France, of which there are more nowadays, aren’t adopting a more liberal culture.
This is what is confusing me. What if you’re sensitive to the sun or some such shit? Or what if you have issue with your body? Or a skin condition? Do you HAVE to wear a bikini? Can you wear one of those long sleeved surf shirts?
Are they coming for my long-sleeved swim shirt? And the long, loose pants I often wear. No. Because I am blonde and white. That is all this is about- discriminating against a specific group. At what point are they flat-out banning women head-scarved Muslim women from the beach? This is not the way to prevent extremism.
Well, they’ll probably only enforce it for women who “look Muslim”, however they understand that. As other people have pointed out, they’re not enforcing the law for nuns.
There is nothing in the Koran that says you have to wear any special clothing to be a good and observant Muslim. As we’re constantly being told, wearing a head scarf (or whatever) is a choice.
This jumped out at me:
I would say there are still many elements of this! I had a big interview a few days after getting engaged. I chose not to wear my ring because I didn’t want my relationship status to dictate how anyone treated me. I also LOVED my ring and was sure I’d fidget with it, or be too giddy to pretend I hadn’t JUST gotten…
Yes I realize that public transportation is usually widely available in all cities but not everyone lives in or even near a city. And yes, we absolutely agree that 30k does not adequately support an adult human living independently. I think you’d also agree that the combination of low pay and high cost of living means…
News flash: Not all of us live in the city. Not all jobs are based in the city. If your grandma has a car she can’t drive, offers you its use, and it makes your life easier, you effing take her up on it. That is not an example of a bad decision.
To be fair... the skirt thing is still the truth is some fields. Sadly, with lawyering -it will often be the case. Hell, the ARDC just had to make a rule that referring to women as “sweetie/baby/honey” is sanctionable because they or some equivalent phrased is used so damn often even though women are outperforming men…
Why do you assume there’s public transportation to the job? Where some may consider driving a fine automobile to work a luxury, others see having easily accessible public transportation as one.
Oh, how I wish that that attitude was (or were still) limited to men...
My husband liked “The Good Girl”, I found it made my skin crawl a bit too much.
I am so sick of her not being exactly what everyone wants her to be all the time. It’s like she isn’t even trying to take all of our criticism simultaneously. I liked her at first but then she was too likeable and now I hate her but she just keeps being Jennifer Lawrence and I am just like HELLO, HAVE YOU SEEN OUR…
To put it all in perspective, The Rock is one of, if not the highest paid male actors.
To be honest, given African-American men’s history of being ill treated by the justice system, rape allegations and hollywood in general, it’s hard for me to be too upset by people who don’t trust the situation.
The transcripts of his conversation with her make it pretty clear that it wasn’t consensual. I believe that at the time he thought it was okay. I also believe that he’s smart enough to know by now that what he did was categorically wrong.
Perfect example of your conversational skills. I just can’t understand why you, of all people, should have problems getting along with your male co-workers. Beats me!
