I always have felt sorry for the Muslim women on 85 degere days, thinking they were forced to wear something long, dark, and heavy on the hottest of days. I felt almost guilty as I passed them in a strapless sun dress, flip flops, and my long hair in a pile on top of my head so it is off my neck. I never considered that this was a choice they made.It is a choice I could not understand. Mostly because I am such a baby when it comes to hot weather, but there were other reasons too. It looked cumbersome and inconvenient and I just could not understand it. The comparison to wearing high heels and make-up quickly cleared this up for me. Now, I only wear make-up and heels on special occasions. I'm not too good at balancing in those things, and I find it so uncomfortable to stand on my tip-toes all day. As for make-up- I just find it unnecessary for day-to-day use. Maybe cause I'm just a natural beauty who does not need it (Kidding!) But when I do decide to get all "dolled up" I like to think I am doing it for me. This way I feel girly and beautiful making me more confident. I get offended when it is implied that women do this all for men. In truth, women are harder on each other than men are, and every woman is their worst critic. A man's opinion is often the last thing on my mind as I practice walking in my new shoes or buy a new tube of mascara.I can relate to those women in the video. They are wearing their burqas for them, not what men think. They are probably so sick of people assuming (just as I am guilty of) that a man is forcing this upon them. It is their choice, and it makes them feel good about themselves.The government getting involved with a choice based on religion is just plain stupid. Sorry to offend anyone, but I have found that religion often has no reason or logic involved. For the man to say that it is not the religious law for the women to wear burqas is completely irrelevant. In every religion, people pick and choose pieces of their religious text to adhere by based on their own convenience. As long as it is not hurting anyone, let the women wear what they want. As long as they are willing to show their faces for purposes of identification and comply French law, let them be. Telling someone how they should express their beliefs and customs is a bad idea and will always come across as being offensive. Right now, the women are quietly going about their own business. If they are offended or restricted, problems will certainly arise.The less people offended, the better off we will all be. I could see this law opening a HUGE can of worms.
