Rape conviction rates are a very dangerous and diversive territory to start mentioning it as 'women's rights'......I could start mentioning the protection of 'innocent until proven guilty'. The pay gap argument is a myth....I'm honestly surprised that you appear to think it has some validity. Edited by Stirlingsays (12 Jul 2017 5.12pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

Of course a government should be able to ban dress. Being able to do it....and being right to do it are two separate things. Outside of security or communication requirements or perhaps some elements in work dress, the state shouldn't tell you what you can wear or not wear. I think this form of dress is wrong on many fronts but I don't support the suppression of personal choice to wear it.....But a government must be free to make the final say....But be forced to continually defend that decision along the 'personal choice' front.

Wearing the veil is arguably because of indoctrination or social pressure. We are all indoctrinated to a greater or lesser degree and have pressures to do or not do various forms of behaviour. That is why we have lawmakers to decide what is acceptable for society. That judgment has to come before personal choice or religious doctrine otherwise all kinds of s*** could occur.

If you actually want to wear something saying 'I'm a second class citizen' on it then you should be able to. If someone - a partner perhaps - is forcing you to do things, that has very little to do with the actual clothing itself, it's their behaviour. You don't ban sex because rape exists.
