This dehumanizing shroud, this cloak of death, this mantle of misery

Pat Condell considers Female Containment Units (via Pedestrian Infidel with a hat tip to Mr. Weldon).

... let me tell you what those shy, retiring feminists could and should be saying if they were anywhere to be found. And that is that any Western woman who makes allowances for or who accommodates the misogyny of Islam in her life is a fool to herself and a traitor to her daughters who will have to live with the consequences in a society where they feel less valued, less safe and have fewer rights than they do now. And personally I don't want to be a party to anything like that. And that's why I think that the issue of women's rights should be a line in the sand that Islam is not allowed to cross at any price.

Ban it. Or make it compulsory by law for anyone employed by or studying with any publicly funded women's studies program. I am good to go either way.

I am a feminist and I love Pat Condell. He is completely correct and I have zero tolerance for the namby-pamby cultural relativists that make excuses for the burqa.
He's right -- if it's so damn voluntary, why aren't men wearing it?
The whole thing is disgusting. (We're fighting the same fights here in Canada.)
