I am deliberately asking you embarrassing questions, so that you can realize how idiotic are the things you have maintained. I don't know what the situation is in the UK or the rest of Europe, but I'm sure they strive towards equality under the law to the best of their ability. Yes, but not with this ridiculous political correctness. Men do not have pregnancy leave from work, while women do. Women and men are different and that is a fact.
Women often call a cab and ask for a female driver.
Yet, this must not be confused with the actual differences between women and men. To see those differences is the only way to have real equality among human beings, some of which are female and some male, who are equal but nevertheless different. I am shocked that you compare ths Islamic veil to those things. First, if you do, please also compare the Judaic whig or veil too. Please be sensible.
