Saudi Arabia allows women to travel independently

[BristolEcho]

I have no means of helping anyone oppressed by anyone else but I can at least make it known I think the whole idea is objectionable.

You can do that without feeding into right wing tropes by calling their clothing blankets. You are undermining them whether you recognise that or not. Women have been subjected to similar abuse in the street, and much worse, because of the terms you are using.

I don't think you give a shit about the person that is wearing the Niqab. Your only concern is the item itself and how it offends you.

You can show solidarity and support people by not slipping into using unhelpful language.

The clothing is alien to me but I have absolutely no problem with women who elect to wear it. I do have a problem with men who force women to wear it.

How can anyone sane describe being an advocate for women's rights as terrorism?

No doubt the international response will be muted on this.
