I love you too Blair - but surely even you can muster up an intelligent comment about the article, rather than a rather odd one about me?

War on women, what rot.

We have just granted women the special privilege of committing cold blooded, premeditated killing, provided they are good at spinning a story. We have even outlined the story they have to act out. Done properly, it will not be counted as murder.

And women lost that war?

CJ,
Why don't you try leading by example?

Are you jealous, Proxy?

I agree with you Joe. Burqua's do not faze me at all; in fact I actually love seeing womens' beautiful large brown eyes with their eyeliner and mascara peering out of them. Mysterious, sensual and most expressive eyes telling her story. I came across a woman tonight wearing one, pushing her three little boys in a trolley, while the father stood outside the shop checking out all the western women [in his late thirties]...until my eyes locked with his and I looked across at his wife and smiled, looking down at their three beautiful boys. The greatest gift that bloke could ever be given through life.

We are unique, I think you are confusing the Burqa with a nikab that Muslim women wear.

The Burqa actually covers the wearers eyes, as well as the rest of her body. They are able to see only through small slits in the material covering their face/head, or through a gauze 'window' in the material.

You can only see the details of their eyes if they are wearing the nikab- which is a head scarf that covers the whole head, plus a veil from the nose down- leaving just the eyes exposed.

I have no problem with the nikab either. I like some of the lovely scarves they wear as well.

I don't like the burqa at all. These women are partly blind when they leave their house- because they have trouble with seeing anything outside of their central vision.
They are unable to enjoy an outside life without the encumbrance of metres of fabric hindering their movement in many activities.

The reasons their men give about covering any aspect of 'their' women makes me feel sad for them in a supposedly equal society like Australia.
Why aren't the men also required to wear full body clothing to be modest and stop all the Australian women lusting after them?

The fact their menfolk aren't also wearing full body clothing in hot weather as well, makes me angry.
