Oh just STOP it. All of this is just more apologists for treating women as the OTHER. Intellectuals can rationalize this treatment forever - but anyone who treats women as DIFFERENT is the same medievalist, just redecorated. Islam is medieval. As is orthodox judaism, and all forms of buddhism that separate women, and of course the christian offshoots. Totally Barbaric (as in medieval), and dangerously ridiculous for the modern world. It is romantic, of course, just like the faux medievalism of the 19th century. But stop with the apologist syndromes,. there is no place such destructive attempts to justify such antisocial pretensions in the 21st century. And all the hipster muslims on the subway (checking their makeup in the windows) are unbelievably silly and DANGEROUS to other women. TAKE OFF THE VEILS. ALL OF THEM. and stop dressing as if you were something different that other people. You are NOT. If you want to internalize the rule-based religions, like judaism and islam, then do so, in private. But stop dressing up like a possession of someone else. Become a human, and not a dangerous antisocial paper doll.
