I have noticed the occasional woman wearing men's suites in Parliament. Maybe we should outlaw that to stop the young from being so confused!

Hi Runner,

OR male members (no pun intended) could be allowed to wear women's clothes alongside female MPs wearing men's clothes. Yes, probably too confusing.

It might work better in the British Houses of Parliament.

Only confusing to the "oldies" here.

JOM: Everyone takes veiled women seriously, which is predictable because being taken seriously is the whole point of covering up, it's a known fact that the more modest a person's dress the more seriously people take them, that goes for men and women.

What a load of Cods-wollop.

JOM: I don't want to live in the type of society which bans clothing one thing is noticeable on both the pro and con side.

I wouldn't want to live in a Country that forces women to cover up to the extent that the Burka/Hijab/Nikab does. Now don't tell me that it's voluntary. I bet if one of these women decided to go into the street dressed in an ordinary Australian type dress we'd find her on a rubbish tip with her throat slashed.

MM: My sister was one such nun until her death a few years ago.

Could you enlighten me as to the Order of Nuns this was, please. I suppose some very old Nuns in Nursing Homes may have retained their Habits but they were not required to & most didn't. There are a number that visit my next door neighbour & stay a few days. I'll ask next time they come. They usually dressed in Trackie Dackies & are good fun even though they are close to carking it.

'Only confusing to the "oldies" here. '

certainly is May May especially when pulling the misogynist card and wearing men's clothing. I suppose the Emily's listers are well trained in manipulating and playing victim at the same time.

Loudmouth,

Dumb question...

"....To Muslim women in Western dress ? Or just to Muslim women, per se ?"

I said:

"....a Muslim woman with a facial covering..."

What can you deduce from that, Loudy?

(not much, it seems:)
