    The ones forced into it, I pity. In my area, it’s fairly common to see a women (and girls) out in the park in full religious garb, while their husband is in sweatpants and flip-flops. It definitely makes me angry. I honestly don’t think anyone chooses to dress like this unless they are forced to by a man.

      I’m open to the probability that there are such women. But I can’t imagine that they area anything but a sharp minority.

      I see this sometimes from a distance, even with children. The boys are wild and loose, the girls on a tight leash.

      Unfortunately, trying to address that with the sledgehammer of The State is not easy to do safely.
