And I guess that priests in monasteries are the same because, in choosing to cover their hair and bodies, it goes against masculine freedom???

No??? I thought not. For some men and women choosing to cover themselves can be liberating for them. They have the freedom to [big]choose[/big] how to adorn their body and the big difference here is choice. No one holds a gun to the head of a priest or nun and says "Dress like us, or we will kill you".

Likewise, a priest and nun actually have their faces uncovered for the most part, which some people find to be less scary than those women who choose (I'm going to assume free will here) to cover their whole body.

As a westerner, if I was to choose to walk around in a black outfit and wear a balaclava with just eye holes on the hottest day of the year, then I reasonably expect to be picked up and questioned by the police over my intent - yet it's fine for eastern women to go about showing absolutely no skin at all.

@HootyTheNightOwl some people don't want to talk about freedom. They want to talk about religion. This needs a subjective definition of freedom that is violated in order for that idea to stand :p

But freedom is not defined from person to person
@SW-User My bad... I forgot just how evil the church is for making men and women choose to wear appropriate clothing when they discern that they want to be a part of monastic life!!! 🤣

@HootyTheNightOwl that's like saying people who choose be on a diet are oppressed! XD
They can't have sugar why???
@SW-User Of course they are... we should all be able to have our cake and eat it just because!!! 🤣

@HootyTheNightOwl exactly! I am on a high sugar diet 😂

Lol, but seriously though, it's kinda funny
