This is probably the most crucial time for the face to be shown. The rest of the time it does not really bother me except it must be hot and uncomfortable in summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829162137963866383.post-20651418314470597512013-09-19T06:12:19.094-07:002013-09-19T06:12:19.094-07:00Nobody Denies people from wearing anything they wa...Nobody Denies people from wearing anything they want in the street...

There was absolutely no issue with it; everyone just accepted that she dressed a bit differently but nobody complained and she took a full part in the lessons she attended. There were only three other girls at the college who even wore hijab (the borough had a high Asian population, but at the other end of the borough from where this college was). I don't really think that many people have a problem with it, or did until the media started making such a huge fuss. I've noticed that the feminist blogosphere has supported the rights of the women affected, while the tiny number of feminists with the privilege of a paid column have joined in attacking them.Matthew Smithhttp://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829162137963866383.post-36192869766308590522013-09-18T09:23:29.744-07:002013-09-18T09:23:29.744-07:00In the street, fine.

When people don't want to talk to them or tell them off or shun them, that's the risk one takes if one dresses like a dickhead. <br /><br />If they want to wear it in a courtroom or an airport or bank, for example, they should show their face. <br /><br />If they wore it to work and it was not a workplace where a uniform was required, a smart HR manager could probably come up with a dress code which forbids political attire in the workplace, just as plenty of dress codes for companies already ban all manner of things that people can legally wear elsewhere. But it would make for an interesting test case...Georgia Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370047108681236219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829162137963866383.post-54714145771915636182013-09-18T09:15:32.464-07:002013-09-18T09:15:32.464-07:00Suppose someone wanted to exercise their right to ...Suppose someone wanted to exercise their right to wear full Ku Klux Klan regalia, including hood with eyeholes, at work, in the street, anywhere they liked ...Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
