Let’s Talk Burkhas…
First, the disclaimer: I know nothing about Islam. I am an adherent to no religion, and, like many, mostly see the institution of religion as a root cause for wars, pettiness, and general disagreement. That said, I’d like to advocate the burkha as an alternative to the baseball cap and sunglasses that most of us don on those “oh god, I have to go out in public” days. You know the ones, no shower, or you showered but somehow never brushed your hair because you were emailing and forgot to watch the clock right up until you had five minutes before your preschooler’s gymnastics class.
Or the blotchy days. You girls out there with olive skin have no idea what hell the blotchy days can be. That time of the month plus salty food the night before, or even a glass of wine, and the next day you’ll be looking like a boxer who lost the match.
So why no baseball cap? For starters, it leaves the chin exposed. And it’s so Madonna. I need full coverage, people, FULL COVERAGE! While no words can express how opposed I am to the laws requiring the wearing of a burkha, I’m thinking it has its place.
