Should women be allowed to wear Burkhas

[Yolo98]

So, should women be allowed to wear full face niqabs/burkhas in public and in the workplace , or should they be banned full stop ? Your thoughts ?

[LouBerry]

People can wear whatever they want. Women and Men. It makes no difference if you want to cover all of your body or show it off.

^Agree, it's their choice. The main reason people give out about is is security reasons, but at airports and stuff they could just step into a private side room and remove the burka temporarily for identification purposes.

You have the freedom to wear what you want.

If it's not a problem, we don't need to make it one. I'm perfectly fine with someone wearing one.

[Reserved]

If I am allowed to wear my morph suit in public I don't see why women can't wear burkhas.

[Luminous]

You can wear whatever you want.

Allowed to yes, forced to no. I know there's some factories that you can't wear loose clothing in because it can get caught in machinery. Other than that people should be allowed to wear whatever style of clothing they want.

[Jess]

Yes they should be allowed to. But they shouldn't be forced to if they don't want to wear it.

[Castle of Glass]

why ban them? it is normal for the people who use them. They see our western clothing as weird and unfair.

[TheBigUnit]

yes.

[Lovelife090994]

Allowed yes, but if like in some countries, forced for religious purposes then no, otherwise yes.

[PinkFloyd]

People should be able to express themselves however they want.

[project_icarus]

Any person should be allowed to wear whatever they so please, for religious, cosmetic or other reasons regardless.

BUT.

There was a case recently were an Islamic woman wore a fully-concealing hijab, and was ordered by the Magistrate's Court to reveal her face whilst in court (for obvious reasons) - she refused, but the Court agreed to do it via video link where she was not wearing her hijab.

I mean, I know that there is a moral difference between the two (I guess), but would it be fine for me to rock up in to my own court trial wearing a full-face motorcycle mask? No. In such an instance, a woman who ordinarily wears a hijab should remove it where needed.

[NeuroTiger]

Yeah it's about freedom of choice...
As said above, for security purposes, special room should be placed where they can remove their burqa for security purposes.

[tovaris]

Why not? It is conpletly their decision.

[sqishy]

Freedom of choice, as long as it causes no general problems with the society the women are in (it does cause controversy in some places). Personally I don't see why you should hide your face behind clothes, but their opinions are theirs to stand by.

[WastedWings]

I hate to be "that guy" but...
Whilst I do agree that everyone should be able to wear whatever they want to,I do see some issues with clothes that conceals your face
In certain jobs like teacher,police etc wearing stuff like that can be a bit difficult,same as wearing it in class if you're a student,not showing your face can be an issue when it comes to interaction
Most teachers I've spoken to says they feel uncomfortable with masked people in their classes,and that it does make some problems

But as I said,we should get to decide for ourselves,but it would cause some issues sadly :/

If it was my call, they would be banned, as it's only a tool to subvert women. On the other hand, if they want to be controlled by their male counterpart, it's their choice. Sad, but true.
