Interesting point

"Women who wear the burkha refuse to be judged by their body or face. THey want to be seen as another being, not as a sexual object. In this way, the burkha could be a tool of empowerment. The women across from me listen with blank faces and confused stares. They argue that it is their right as women to wear what they want and how they wish to wear

so, just think of it this way. If you refuse to wear something like a burkha and things more revealing, then you should EXPECT more revealing comments.

Hell, you might even EXPECT getting gang-raped, after which you may EXPECT getting honor-killed by your father and brothers. Makes sense to me.

I wouldn't wear a burka myself, but I do respect the right of any woman who wishes to! There should definitely be more education about this in the media.

This rationalization is an example of Stockholm Syndrome. Look it up.
