I should start this off by saying that I will be stating that I do not support the oppression of women. I support a woman's right to choose for herself. I am also not of any defined faith, so my decision to wear headcoverings is my own and not mandated by anyone.
This is what I look like pretty much on a daily basis:
However, I occasionally like to wear head coverings. They range from Turbans (I am the TURBAN QUEEN!) for fun and costume:
Dance Costume
Learning Sikh turban tying from a friend.
All the way to full face coverings:
Fancy full face covering. (Hard to type in this thing!)
I have these mostly for the heck of it, but also because of dance and some re-enacting that I do. As such, I have had to do research into what they are and their purpose. Needless to say, these are different from the Niquabs/Hijabs that Paul is asking for, but, as women wearing turbans is also a taboo, I felt they needed to be included.
I really do not have a reason behind wearing them other than they are comfy. I suppose this is why I have such a relaxed view about them. Also, I see nothing wrong with modest dress! The way I look at it, if, in my case, a man is only attracted to me because of my looks, how can that be "true?" There is alot more to a relationship than just looks! Sadly this gets lost on alot of people.
