#1 It is foolish to get into the fashion regulation business. But it is also foolish to get into the intolerance management business. As long as people don't get violent, I have a hard time seeing the problem with intolerance. As long as people are willing to live with the reaction to their intolerance, they should have the right to be intolerant. I don't have a problem with No R--h---s or dogs need apply. It's a reflection on the employer. And if it's accepted, the society. But denying the employer or the society the right to express their opinion doesn't change their opinion. It only embitters it.

#2 "I feel empowered by the knowledge that I am in control of displaying my beauty to whom I choose, and the fact that I can move freely throughout society without being subjected to the eyes of every Tom, Dick and Harry."

Right, until you can become sufficient in number at which point you and your men will make it a requirement for all of us.

Scariest thing in the world was having someone in a black niqab walk up to a group of schoolkids on a fieldtrip during all the boomer blasts and having no idea who or what was under it.

The ability to size people up and discern their intentions is a big part of the success of western civilization. The thought of women running around in niqab because they can't trust the men around them is to be greatly pitied.
