This burqua picture makes me so sad. I really thought we'd come further than this. I mean, there's such excellent blogwriting about The hijab that maybe we'd be able to extend it to a fuller range of cultural symbols.

On the other hand, I wouldn't like to wear one myself.

Would honor killings have been a more suitable target? A connection between the deadly policing of women's sexuality in one culture and another?

Or is that just aligning Western feminists with those awful babykilling libertine lesbians again?
