Providing Dignity
Having in the last few hours been confronted with the Playboy bunny selling some or other product in a village pharmacy, I do not blame young women - and the ones interviewed on Newsnight did not sound very oppressed to me - who are reaching into the resources of their culture and pulling out the niqab, which I feel in the strongest possible terms has no place in this country. The fault is in us.

I don't blame those young women either. Although you rarely hear about it, many of the men who promoted sexual liberation were dogs who simply wanted women to be constantly available for their sexual gratification. That is why so many men supported legalized abortion and the Pill and the widespread promotion of contraception.
ReplyDeleteHugh Hefner was a major figure in this movement and it disgusts me that he is now portrayed as some kind of kindly grandfather figure.
