Dear hearts,
What do women really Want. Note the capital letter.
Nicolas Sarkozy puts it so well when he states that the burqua is not a sign of religion, but a sign of subservience.
Absolutely Dear hearts.
It is all very well for those Arab men to wear a tea towel on their heads, but what woman in her right mind is going to think that wearing a black tent over her entire body, obstructing her eyesight and impeding her sense of free movement, let alone opportunity to dress as she pleases, is a liberating and empowering form of self expression (read oppression).
I ask the question without prejudice: Where is the dignity in wearing the burqua? I'm with Nicolas on this one. Carla Bruni in a burqua?...I don't think so.
Do these women really want to wear the burqua? I fear for a whole culture of women who do not have the pleaseure and pain of waking up in the morning and have as their very first thought....”What am I to wear today?” “Which shoes and which handbag?” “Can I possibly wear black again?”....Of course you can. Just not the tent, my loves.
The good thing about the burqua is that you can have a fat day every day..who is going to know? I realise Dear hearts, that this is not exactly a politically correct tete a tete we are engaging in, and if I offend I apologise. The simple fact of the matter is....I am right.
I am all for freedom of religious expression, I have my rosary beads in my bag wherever I go. God bless the child whose got his own...totally..but I am with Nicolas in his idea of laicitie...that idea of secularism. Keeping Church and State apart. I promise not to wave my rosary beads in the air above your head if you promise to show me your face...because I am sure you have lovely eyes.
Enjoy inclusiveness and Thursday
With libertie, egalitie, fraternity and love
Miss Mich
