And how is anyone to know that the person under the burka is actually a woman. and not a man being deceptive?<br />There was a colony of Exclusives near where I used to live and we saw the women around with their ankle-length (denim) skirts and their miniscule head triangles. I think the thing that disturbed me most was that there was no marker to distinguish the men - the bookshop bought maps from a local wholesaler, and I had no idea that it was one of theirs until the chap we usually dealt with sent a young woman from the office with an urgent order - and she was marked by her clothing, and the yards of hair that so needed the split ends trimmed off.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
