I probably would't feel so icky about hijab and burkas if they weren't mostly about putting reins on a woman. Any woman that can turn it around and make it her own has my respect, but women who only wear it because their husbands or fathers force them....it enrages me. Not necessarily at the woman, but at the whole damned culture of it all.

I think it would be sort of good in winter, though o.o. So warm...
