    I think the point is that this particularly religious clothing is used to shame women of their bodies.

    You know other religions used to have women cover their bodies too, but that has been left behind a lot of years ago.

    I have a question for you, why dont men also cover their bodies? why is it that only women have to cover their bodies?

    “That is our culture!” It is a culture based on religion, based on regressive and mysoginistic ideals.

      The problem is, theres no definitive distinguishihg description of an abaya. It’s a loose dress. How do you distinguish someone who wants to be comfortable in a loose dress from a girl being oppressed by an abaya?

        Is it really that hard for you to answer that?

        Maybe this will help: What is more important, allowing girls to feel comfortable in a loose dress or helping girls that are being opressed by an abaya?

          There are better ways to prevent oppression than controlling what people wear (which is ironically exactly what their oppressors are doing). These girls and women should feel comfortable and free to wear whatever they want, without being forced by religion or the french government. The answer to oppression and authoritarianism isn’t more oppression and authoritarianism.
