As long as both groups of people are following their choice then it’s all good.
But Islam often doesn’t let women think on their own, their husbands or fathers are to think and choose for them. That isn’t always the case, but often is.
That’s an incredibly bad take, wow. Is every woman in the middle east who wears a hijab is secretly obese, even when starving to death because of war?
Lots of ankles in that picture…
Well, this should be an interesting comments section.
forget cultural differences, and imagine yourself out there on a 35c day, and tell me which one is better.
Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.
Whoops, though North African clothing is very similar and those are definitely designed for the Sahara.
My understanding is that the fabric on burqas (or whatever those clothes are actually called) are extremely lightweight and provide shade, so they actually aren’t any warmer than t-shirts and shorts. Possibly because they block the sun, they might even be cooler.
But that’s simply what I have heard and I personally don’t care to find out either way.
Wild guesses…
Easier to clean.
Or maybe the material it’s made of, isnt white.
Or maybe because it has such little thermal mass, that it doesn’t matter.
I never tested it, but still wonder why nobody who wasn’t indoctrinated into it since birth doesn’t just decide to wear a burka in summer heat.
Not only did you not test it, you didn’t even bother looking it up, because you don’t actually care, you’re just here to express islamophobia.
Here, have the result of a 5 second search:

If you think these people are stupid remember that there’s people wearing suits and ties in summer
If you think these people are stupid, wait 20 years and see who has more skin cancer.
Covid seemed to change workplace attire in my company forever. I used to wear a coat and tie to meetings and events… I’m now wearing a polo shirt and stretchy chinos with “dress shoes” that are basically sneakers.
I’ve often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It’s downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren’t influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don’t have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.
