[Model, actress and activist Lily Cole
has apologised for posting a picture
of herself in a burka as a way to
"embrace diversity" and promote
her new book.
Critics said posing in the garment,
worn by some Muslim women,
did not help diversity and
was ill-advised given the
current unrest in Afghanistan.
Cole said she understood why the
image upset people and wanted
to "sincerely apologise for any offence caused".
She agreed it was "ill-timed" and
said she "hadn't read the news at the time".]

Oh how awful people have been upset by her wearing a burka. Did they read the message she posted with it? It wasn't exactly inflammatory, was it. My question to those people who were upset by this is, when are you going to get upset about this: https://www.desertflowerfoundation.org/en/what-is-fgm.html

I won't hold my breath.

People are bitching that some model wore a burkha as an act of self-promotion BY CHOICE while not caring that countless women are forced to wear it by a disgusting misogynistic culture? Priorities!!
