heating up

the debate about he burka heats up in France, a scuffle in Nantes and act in the french parliament, i find it difficult to converse with anyone whose face is co vered, balaclava, hoodie, burka ,its all the same, why are you with drawing from the rest of humanity - hiding the mirror of your soul your eyes even.in most cases it men who impose this discipline on women ,not always but mostly . our own past history in England has echoes of this ,men imposed codes of dress codes cover for legs uncovered chests . as recently at he 50's in England it was not permitted for a woman to enter a church without head covered ,hats often had a token veil .now in England anything ,goes which doesn't mean its better. my only feeling is that no one should impose a dress code, especially husbands on their wives .though i do have my own level of intolerance in the cathedral at perigeaux a dutch guy wearing a hat -i was raised to go bare headed in church as mark of respect - the ignorance or was it sheer indifference to the place he was in ,was shocking for me in its own way
