To be fair they're nuns, they chose their "calling", being a nun is literally their job that they are paid for, it's a uniform. Whereas Islamic women in those countries that force the burka and hijab on their women force it on all women, that's a distinct difference.
Hence why you don't see a shitload of women wearing the nun "habit" all over Italy or anywhere else the Catholic Church has spread to. This is a dumb comparison OP, priests have uniforms too.
force it on all women under penalty of death, in most cases
Not true at all. Only Iran and Afganistan and a province I Indonesia require women to wear a hijab and none of them require a burka. And those countries don't impose the death penalty for not wearing it, although there are cases in afganistan where people have imposed that themselves despite it not being the "official" position of the taliban government.
In fact far more countries, ban the hijab outright, including some Muslim countries.
So saying its enforced by death penalty in most cases is an outright lie.
Like we can talk about the social and religious expectation to wear one and how that's bad, but lying to make the problem seem worse than it really is is not productive.
Work uniform = mandatory everyday wear for everybody
A lot of Catholic nuns in the U.S. don't typically wear a habit. They wear conservative clothing (usually a skirt, and blouse) with a veil. Habits are reserved for some orders and may be required, however membership in those orders are entirely voluntary.
A lot of nuns actually wear plain clothes as well. There's a lot of choice involved, and YMMV depending upon what order the nun maintains membership.
Dumbest. Comparison. Ever.
Well, you can criticize Christianity for many terrible things Christians have done in the name of their religion, but for a work uniform?
Where's that stupid anime meme about how Islam is not oppressive to women and then it shows five different religions with five different head scarves for women and it's like yeah no s*** all religions are oppressive to women
I used to be addicted to nun-based wordplay humor. Thankfully, I've since kicked the habit.
I think it's OK for people to wear what they want.
I’m tempted to tell them “it’s nun of your business” to the nuns above but the there’s a good deal of societal pressure for Muslim women to wear a headscarf too. Women are seldom the ones making the choices.
Yeh all women who wear a hijab choose to do so themselves because they like the look of it.
Have you always struggled with reading comprehension?
Niqab or chador is almost certainly the word you are looking for. Burqas are extremely rare in western societies.
I donno... I'm still pretty aroused by their face skin and the back of their hands.
Hijabi porn is popular where I live.
Imagine wearing foreskin for your religion... Ugh! Yall butthurt coz you're missing a piece?
