This is exactly why it is complex, it was basically forced on Afghan women like it or not which is clearly wrong.
Of course. I find it totally appalling, but, presumably, these women have been brought up in an extremely right wing home, or should one say indoctrinated.
I lived and worked in Iraq during the Sadam days. He encouraged women to cast away the burqa as well as get them into universities - in fact you could say that he was the opposite to the Talbhanā¦ My point is that back in those days, most women, the younger ones anyway, dressed in western clothes with make-up etc, so I do wonder how many Muslim women are happy with that oppressive black sheet covering them? I bet not many!
Iām not clear what that has to do with my point. The usual and largely correct charge is that it is right wing, Christian men telling women of all creeds and political leanings what they can do with their bodies.
I agree with your point and might even take it further as someone did earlier, it is not only so called new Christian or right wing, but men who are afraid of women. I have always believed that the police, army and fire depts - in fact any organisation where being macho is the entry criteria are places where men who are afraid of women congregate and feed on each otherās fear to present oppression towards women. Add Talibhan to the list.
Of late, it seems that my convictions are sound.

Could you elaborate?
I havenāt heard of ānew Christian[s]ā but I wouldnāt want to miss a trend.
Leaving that aside, you could also add young men who follow Andrew Tate and other like influencers.

Iām not sure why Sunak describes the new facility agreed at Calais as a ādetention centreā but perhaps thatās just to keep the Tory racists on sideā¦ Letās at least hope that this time round, the centre is properly manned and organised and that safe routes to the UK for asylum seekers will be re-established.

Lineker is stepping back from presenting MOTD - this is wrong, ridiculous and also a little worrying as to the censorship and bias that is now apparent at BBC.
Possibly worse:

Iām glad that Lineker is standing by what he said. He is right to express himself and it doesnāt contravene his contract with BBC.
Such a shame that criticism of the government is now to be censored. What next?

Further analysis from NovaraMedia which highlights where Reform UK are on thisā¦
Many hijab-wearing or tchador-wearing women wear a lot of make-up too.

what an opportunity to finish with āexpertā analysis.
Well, apparently Eton plays more football than other schools. Canāt think what this reminds me ofā¦
Itās not dissimilar to what happens in autocratic countries, Putin, Afghanistan, etc. Donāt disagree with the authorities. Sad.
