[Mick!]

What about a full Klan outfit? Or a nazi uniform?

 

[kevin bingham]

i have the right to wear that as well in this country and i think it is fundamental to what this country is about that I have that right

 

[MasterBlaster]

Agreed.

 

[Mick!]

So you can drop your kids off (theoretically of course) at school in a KKK outfit including the white hat covering your face?

 

[cory]

The public distinguishing seems to tip the balance...

Yup

 

[cory]

do we stop the amish from covering their heads too?

Do the amish oppress women?

 

[kevin bingham]

I was just in a gas station in the Thumb of Michigan and I guy got out of the truck with swastikas and iron cross tattoos all over his FACE! It was a roofing company truck too which I presume means he had a job. To each his own. I presume they don't work much in Detroit.

 

[kevin bingham]

Do the amish oppress women?

I am sure there are some Amish Men that abuse their women. They may even force them to wear those head coverings for all I know.

 

[Levi]

Do the amish oppress women?

Yes

 

[cory]

Idk, I just read wiki and no mention was made of women being treated differently than men.

So I'm with Squish

 

[MasterBlaster]

Most schools have dress codes, Mick.

 

[kevin bingham]

So you can drop your kids off (theoretically of course) at school in a KKK outfit including the white hat covering your face?

of course as long as the school doesn't have a dress code which most of them do. in Detroit public school it is collared shirt and slacks. Muslim girls wear their scarves or they don't. I could walk down the street today with a KKK outfit on and if I get accosted I could legally file charges and the police would have to defend me from attack.

 

[cory]

Im surprised there isn't a law against the wearing of garb which represents a hate group.

 

[Levi]

Any Christian group is oppressive to women.

 

[cory]

Yo, you drunk bro?

 

[cory]

I dont gaf about Christian groups, but, just no.

 

[kevin bingham]

they certainly dress to religious codes differently than men. Have you seen a amish woman wearing jeans? that would certainly result in a shunning. I don't care much. Ask your mother what society mandated she wear in public. the shoes etc. ask your grandmother. Corsets anyone? should we outlaw those even though they are no longer the style? I would think that wearing high heels any where would be close to torture. Is it a sign of abuse that girls pierce their ears, wear high heels and wear pants several sizes too small to the point they can hardly walk. I am thankful that I have the right to do that to myself as well. I would probably choose a burka over that outfit but thats just me.

really? What country did you grow up in? thats principle to our constitution.

 

[cory]

You're bringing up minutia. Afaik, burka cultures forbid schooling of females and are way over the top about keeping them as hard core second class citizens. It doesn't compare to fashion issues you cite, imo.

 

[cory]

really? What country did you grow up in? thats principle to our constitution.

Then why is wearing KKK garb cool?

 

[kevin bingham]

Im not saying its cool. but I have the right to wear whatever I want. burka, high heels, or kkk outfit. Thats america.

 

[Levi]

Yo, you drunk bro?

Nah. Just pointing out that Christians and Jews have oppressed women since about the first chapter in genesis.

 

[stig]

Seems to me most religions are about keeping women "in their place".

Islam just hasn't been through the modernization process that the others ( Except Amish) have.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Where do you guys stand on yoga pants?

I think they are great, but you should need to pass a test to wear them.

I am sure the feminists don't like Amish men.

.

Compared to full KKK regalia, I prefer them.
