Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
I am going to hate myself for this but..... should all the "blacked up" morris men remove their traditional disguise? However it does not seem that the wearers of the hadjib give me as much validity as the demand for themselves. As I understand it the wearing of the hadjib is to prevent me ( a male other than Husband or relative) from seeing their face and becoming arroused! I think that what goes on in my head is my business and resent others from displaying their preconcepions about me openly for all to see. I am willing for them to wear the dress but wish that they would understand the reason behind my opposition to it!
