That IS gender inequality -- the idea that the only way to level the playing field is to hide every aspect of a person -- specifically to deny the natural truth that humans are sexual beings -- is perpetuating the idea that men & women are not equals.

That is your upbringing, beliefs, culture hoisted upon another. I personally wouldn't want to wear a wig & clothing that covered me in accordance to Jewish modesty laws... for me that would personally feel oppressive, but I do not pity or feel sorry for Jewish women who decide to follow their faith & culture that way.

And you want to see an oppressive clothing requirement put upon men of a religion? Take a good look at an Orthodox man in the summer time. I am really surprised we don't hear about them passing out all over the place!

To be French now means to live in a homogeneous, fraternal society, where the small differences in personal beliefs that divide us are tossed away, and all are on equal footing at all times? Doesn't sound so bad!

Doesn't sound so bad until it is that little personal belief that is close to your heart that is demonized and tossed away.
