While watching bbc question time and the debate about women wearing veils, and hearing the two sides arguing whether it is about choice or forcing women to hide, I wonder how those sides would change if it was a debate about women feeling the need to wear make-up when they go out. Is it really right to consider legislating about one form of face covering but not another? #equality should mean having the right to be different, not the obligation to all be the same. If a woman does or doesn’t want to go out au natural isn’t that her choice? Regardless of whether that is a head covering or makeup?
