Another view on the Burqa Tweet
Anonymous Coward User ID: 29206820 Bulgaria 12/06/2012 01:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Another view on the Burqa So everyone agrees that if a female is forced to wear a burqa that's oppressive and that's fine. But let's discuss the power a burqa gives to a person by making her(him) semi or fully anonymous (in the case of the niqab) and you can trick CCTV about your true identity. So one can argue that it gives some women the power to be anonymous while spying on others that are not covered. That could have been true, if and only if wearing a burqa was voluntary and not forced like it is. BTW, I bet most people wished sometimes that they could hide their identity while stalking others. Don't you wish you could see the others but they cannot see your face for a day? I really hate CCTV and I don't want to be photographed/filmed so is there any way to trick CCTV other than wearing a burqa?

What's more, they should be allowed in the Western countries and male versions should be allowed, too. What if I want to preserve my anonymity from curious eyes? What if I hate CCTV which is a breach of privacy? What if I don't want my girlfriend to see me when going out with another girl? And what if I want to keep my identity secret from tattlers?

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 29206820 Bulgaria 12/06/2012 01:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Another view on the Burqa Yes, it IS oppressive, but I think covering your face should be allowed in the Western world as long it is not forceful, but voluntary. What if a person wants to hide from the CCTV oppression and slavery? Should we just put up with being filmed while walking down the street and in supermarkets? Shoplifting and crimes haven't diminished at all since the introduction of CCTV. A lot of Western women would actually make good use of face veil to their advantage if they had the chance, e.g. when going out with other men, when wanting to hide black spots/acne/etc, when going somewhere where their family shouldn't be able to recognize them. Every person has their little secrets, you know... I agree that the forceful wearing should stop though! Everything should be voluntary.

The state you live in and its laws provide you this special freedom. Without laws it wouldn't exist...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward The state I live in should pay me that I'm still living in the shthole it is. CCTV and surveillance is highly oppressive. I don't want to have photos/videos of me taken, isn't that alright with the world of today? It's funny how shop owners scream when you start taking pictures of their goods and inventory with your mobile phone, while they are OK with their CCTV filming you.*

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28992175 Well, if I have no right of anonymity and there's CCTV in virtually every store nowadays, why do they ban taking photos of their goods/products? If I have no right of anonymity, why is taking photos banned in their stores/banks/schools/etc? It's not like they're some top secret army bases, right? They're public.
