Women wearing burqas segregated in aus parliiament building

I personally dislike the burqa, my SIL's cousin wears the burqa and I really hate the idea as a feminist, but sectioning them off from society is still not a good idea. If they've had full checks and have some form of identification card, then it think it's wrong. Also, why is it ironic to say her area is filled with immigrants? So is mine. OP isn't saying this is a bad thing at all. This idea of Australians who aren't aboriginal being immigrants might be your opinion as someone British, so not from a colonised or only recently (for countries, I means) westernised country- but my little sister, for example, was born and raised n the UK, she's not an immigrant (I am), why are you an immigrant if you aren't aboriginal?

From my limited experience of Australia, I've found it a more racist and misogynist society than I expected it to be. I only lived in Melbourne for a year, but it's been the place where I've experienced the most anti semitism.

This doesn't suprise me, there was demonstrations recently against a Mosque being built. It seems like the racists won.

'I find religion to be a legalised and respected cult. Using all the same techniques. Mainly fear.
I view the word 'choice' as an excuse to defend religion. The same way punters and pimps use 'choice' to excuse prostitution'

I agree with all of this.

Burqas make me profoundly uncomfortable as a feminist. I know how I would feel if anyone tried to tell me what to wear/not to wear so I hate the thought of dictating to other women. I still have difficulty believing that wearing a burqa is a totally independent choice, freely made.

Sorry you have had to NC. I understand your posts now.

It means that prostitution is a hot and common topic on here. I was questioning your statement about 'all that matters is the people involved'.
Not me though I haven't ever NC

And again.

You win.

I don't know puffin. You have a personal posting history.
I'm sure you remember posters you have seen on other threads. It's not stalking. How do you identify anyone you have communicated with before? I doubt they would bother with name changes on here if it wasn't a thing.
Stalking is something very different and targeting an individual

I am not being disingenuous ffs.

I disagree with you, you tell me you'll 'remember that next time I post about prostitution'? What the fuck is that supposed to mean then? Was it you? Were you the reason I had to name change?

Abbott, for example, is a twat.

^^^^

THIS!!!!!!

Seriously? I'm not threatening you?
Don't be disingenuous

Why do you think I was forced to name change King?

MN stalkers? What are you talking about?

But wow.... actually. You're going to remember that next time I post about something unrelated? Really? Do you normally threaten to stalk women who disagree with you? We've already lost 2 women from this board because of behaviour such as you've just suggested.

As I said, get over yourself.

And, I'm a little tired of MN stalkers now. Interesting quote from you there.

The security check is not the only security protocol.
I am thinking from a broader angle yourself. The women in question, are so pressurised and socialised I wouldn't expect anything else.
So it's only down to the women involved. I'll remember that when you post on a thread about prostitution.

And do get over yourself.

Pretty much Empire, as is my wont

King, you suggest that women within Islam don't have choice or the agency to exercise choice. This is completely incorrect. You first suggested that women wearing the burqa had in some way circumvented the security measures, then when you were shown to be incorrect in that assumption went on to erect another strawman. What you find religion to be is immaterial. What the women in question have found it to be is the only consideration.

*Accept sorry teacher

What is your problem? I'm sorry if you are the 'teacher'. I'll except a poor grade.
I find religion to be a legalised and respected cult. Using all the same techniques. Mainly fear.
I view the word 'choice' as an excuse to defend religion. The same way punters and pimps use 'choice' to excuse prostitution.

Yes, I do, obviously.

You might like to actually go and research that.

Poor effort.

I think you will need show your face in parliament. To be identified at all time.
I think you have a different definition of 'choice'.
Muslim conversions is a very small %. I think if there is any element of fear related to a choice it makes it difficult.

The point is that they are NOT breaching security restrictions. They go through the same checks as everyone else, they remove their veils at security in order to be allowed in.... like I stated before, did you not read that? I also stated that there are some Muslim women who actively choose to wear the full veil.

And you also might like to do some reading into Muslim conversions. If you're going to insist on commenting about it.

I don't know how many choose to be Muslim. I doubt many, some marry in to it. Probably less than reject Islam in later life. I don't see the choice really
