Strange that I have absolutely no 'problem' seeing women wearing veils or headscarves (don't really notice it), but I feel a small aversion (not good English I know- like a ick in the pit of my stomach...) when I see a woman in a burqa. It almost seems like a human being walking around in their own prison. It affronts my idea of personal freedom, I guess. I also dislike having interactions with any stranger (man or woman) whose face is covered/masked. Unless it's Siyu, of course
or at a masked ball...
Having said this, I still would be against making it illigal. If you are a woman living here, wearing a burqa becomes a personal choice. Even
if your family/religion is strongly influencing you, the laws are on your side, and so is the decision.
The best way to combat 'lack of freedom' should be by exemples of freedom of choice, no?
