It's exactly the same. The burkha is just the thin end of the wedge and, for some bizarre reason, an edge that's being ignored.

My gender doesn't matter and it's quite ironic that you've brought it into the discussion considering what it's about. Quite hypocritical.

I think you're argument is ridiculously stereotypical and overly emotional. Islam does not equal domestic abuse, I'm not saying that it doesn't exist I'm just saying it's wrong to tar an entire group of diverse people with the same brush. Some women WILL choose to wear the Burkha, some won't. The point I'm making is that it should be THEIR decision to choose either way, not anybody else's. You seem to think that I'm some mysogynistic man who's pro Burkha and I'm not. I don't like the connotations of it BUT I believe in Women having the liberty of making their own choices.
