"I believe strongly that cloaks, scarves and masks also degrade women by regarding them primarily as sexual creatures, but severely controlled ones. Again, the beneficiaries are men. They too are manipulated, though they would deny it. Half-naked lasses and young veiled women are all an affront to female dignity, potential and autonomy. They are all marionettes in the hands of forces they do not understand and have internalised messages about what it means to be female. The only difference is that, with the exception of pimped sex workers, non-Muslim females are not forced into alluring clothes."
