..I'm sure that there have been instances of certain clothing being used to 'mask' for sinister and hate filled intensions but it's still not the clothing to be feared..(in my opinion..)...it's those people themselves who do this and they're doing a great job in making the world fearful of things they don't need to be fearful of...isn't that the whole principle of extreme terrorism, to turn us all against each other in intolerance and fear...

You are right in a way but I think any clothing forced on women for the sake of modesty is pretty fearful in itself.

..yeah it's a bit of a tricky one really because to ban is also oppressing in itself, so further oppressing who we feel are oppressed...and is the head of the school in the story also a female..(I need to re-read the story...)...so it's also that continuing of oppression not being the answer if her belief is to do to other females what has been done to females by males...
