A little while ago a picture of some women from Sweden's "feminist government"

[Luis Anaconda]

And the pubs?

The pubs will always be open. They're not that stupid, a. I've probably never been drunker* than after a night out in Dubai and the Sultan of Oman has a very sensible attitude to alcohol - they've even got an Irish pub in the airport



*as drunk many times

Yes. Amazing what undignified, demeaning and hypocritical shît lefties will do in order to virtue signal. Also, does the entire cabinet have to go everywhere together?

Our Prime Minister comes out of this rather well by comparison.

Attachment 461

Aren't they just covering up their hair because that is consistent with the local customs of the country in which they are present? I'm pretty sure they aren't the first to do so and I'm not sure I see how that is inconsistent with their feminist sensibilities? Sunbathing topless is commonplace in certain Scandinavian countries but is not really acceptable here in the UK. Would a Swedish woman who left her top on in the Witterings be accused of the same thing?

Nor, for that matter, am I convinced it has anything to do with Islam. As far as I understand it, Islam only mentions that women should dress modestly, the rest of the dress restrictions are entirely cultural and have very little to do with religion.

Sorry, just to clarify here, you are suggesting that the prevalence of head scarves/coverings in Iran has nothing to do with Islam?

In the Arab world generally, I think head coverings are driven by historical/cultural reasons more than religious ones. Does it have nothing to do with Islam? No, I'm sure there is some relationship. But it isn't explicitly required because of Islam, I think.

As an example, if you have ever seen a traditional Arabic family in Dubai you will notice that the men are almost as covered as the women. Most Arabic women show only their faces in black robes, whereas the men wear white robes with a head dress that covers almost as much of the head as the women's does. The robes I expect have something to do with it being 50C in summer, Islam less so.

This is how women dressed in Iran in the 1970s.

Could you explain to me exactly when the drastic climate change occurred which caused these women to rush for the chador?

This is what we do know. Western feminists cry 'sexism' at even the merest hint of attitudes, behaviours or objects/items of clothing that it is felt are imposed upon women due to a belief that women should act or dress with modesty. If a man in the west suggests women should be careful about dressing too provocatively because they might get hassled by blokes in the street, they are told they are contributing to 'rape culture'

Whether religious or cultural in origins, everyone, even you, would acknowledge that many women across the Muslim world have head/body coverings imposed upon them due to a belief in the imperative for women to act and dress modestly.

And yet so-called feminists jump at the chance to wear one in order to show their "solidarity" with women.

It is a f*cking joke.

Anyway, that's clearly an example of Shah Here law

Number 3 would be giving it the Allan Akbar's ("God you're great") once I've finished with her, imo.

I liked the Shah. He had a kind face.

Goering had a kind face too. Appearances can be deceptive.
