Dear Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan

BBC reports that you have recently called on women in Saudi Arabia to “wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.” You say that “showing both eyes encourage[s] women to use eye make-up to look seductive.”

I believe, sir, that showing only one eye will make matters worse. You see, whenever a woman and a man are together and the woman blinks, the man might think that she is winking. Is the hidden eye open or closed? If it is assumed to be normally open, then a momentary closing of the visible eye could be assumed to be a wink. If it is assumed to be normally closed, then the woman may be considered to be perpetually winking, which is equally problematic.

I have an alternative solution to your problem. I suggest that you introduce veils for men that cover both their eyes. That way it will make no difference if the women are winking, blinking or, heaven forbid, naked.

Good idea, no? You’re welcome.

Regards

Just the boys get punished, as in "Romeo and Juliet" cases of underage consensual sex.

About time a girl gets treated with the full letter of the law, like everyone else.

Equality bites.

...anyone ever hear about it?

I'm sure the Language Police are not far behind the PC Brigade.

The latter link is about a boy in prison because he was on the receiving end of a girl's photo.

My First Amendment rights (by the way, that's an amendment to The Constitution, PC boneheads) and those of everyone else are threatened by PC speech codes and other laws and procedures curtailing free expression.

My gay friends aren't a bunch of pussies. They're just regular people who try to get along with everyone else. That means eschewing special treatment and restrictions on everyone's right to freedom of expression.

No. freedom. in. your. world.

I get it.

Special groups, get special consideration.

Saying "gay" = killing Matthew Shephard in your mind.

You are a sad case and have to edit everything you say when in mixed company.

No diversity in your world. No freedom of speech. Sad.

"So if I start offending you--calling you an asshole, a prick, a pussy, gay, whatever--you'll high-five me and say 'way to go Asehpe, you're defending our freedom of expression and avoiding the traps of political correctness'?"

Well, I certainly wouldn't say "you're not allowed to use the word "asshole" when applied to anyone who may be offended by it. That is the logic applied here by you and PC Comissar bigguns.
