It’s origins stem from an idea that we are different and as such should be treated differently. That, my friends, is inequality. What’s worse is that it’s being used as a statement. To wear it is to imply you are respectable. Honourable. Obedient. Without it you are no better than a common street worker. Therefore you are permitted looks of disgust and shame. You are a sinner. You are a heathen. You should be condemned.
To wear it is to be treated differently. That, my friends, is inequality. What’s worse is that it’s being used as a statement. To wear it is to imply you are rejecting western culture. A fanatic (or at least are married to one). With it you are no better than a terrorist. Therefore you are permitted looks of disgust and shame. You are a criminal. You are unwanted. You should be condemned.
