Occasionally, we see on the news that somewhere in the world, rich and powerful men, and rarely also women, forbid women to dress a certain way. For example, Lérida just ban clothes that cover their faces (something which I think may be prohibited in public buildings because of security ) and left two men on the news explaining why I can not enter a public library Lleida with niqab. For them it is because it is contrary to the principle of equality. Is that English law treated differently to people with niqab?
I wonder when it will happen to someone ban high heels. Because I know that covering the face and cover your head are not the same, but if I start to compare the veil with heels, no color.
1. High heels cause sore feet, knees and lower back. The veil does not hurt.
2. The heels can cause permanent injury irrevesibles joints. The veil, no.
3. Heels limited mobility. With them you can not run, or bend over, among other moves. The veil does not affect mobility.
4. The heel is a cultural identification. The veil too, but more intensely, perhaps.
5. Majority opinion is that the heels are beautiful in themselves, and enhance the beauty of who they are put. The veils can be pretty, and it is an opinion discussed but also widely accepted that embellished veil who leads.
6. The heel is sexy and was invented to be sexy. The veil, however, generally de-sexualized to the wearer.
7. The heel has absolutely nothing to do with religion. The veil itself.
8. The heel is sometimes required, eg for professional reasons. The veil also. All Muslim least put him in prayer.
9. The heel is a social obligation, especially since if the only fashion footwear available to be dressed elegantly. The veil may be also a social obligation.
10. In spite of this, not all women can wear heels, for such health reasons at first. The veil, however, it can put the whole world.
11. A veil is cheaper than a pair of heels.
12. A heel is an accessory exclusively female. Men cover their heads more or less the same reasons that women wear veils.
