While im here who found my ditto as my 3 rd pokemon since the update . i was at home ! <| sep |> I would love to but in my constituency it ' s a shoot out between Labour and the Tories . With the current voting system I will always vote tactically for the lesser of two evils . <| sep |> Those are still anecdotes , and cherrypicked ones at that , given where they ' re coming from . The problem is that it ' s really difficult to tell what the actual situation is . There are definitely a lot of women who enjoy wearing one from of head covering or another , and choose to do so for their own reasons . There are also definitely a lot of women who refuse to wear one , because they see it as oppressive . Furthermore , there are also women who are forced to wear one , as part of a patriachal act of oppression . The first two groups are basically irrelevant . Sure , they ' re loud and have very strong opinions , but they ' re free to have those opinions , and that ' s basically all we need to care about . The issue is that the third group is very unknown . Women in this situation tend not to talk to outsiders such as , I suspect , most of us here , and often struggle to talk about these things even to those close to them . Wearing a head covering is just one of many acts of oppression , and is arguably one of the least important , albeit obvious outwardly . Additionally , dealing with it is complex . Banning it quite aside from the rights issues for the women in the other two categories just drives things like that underground , which makes it harder to deal with see the huge issues that have arisen due to a very similar drugs policy in the UK and US . Tolerating it and hoping it goes away is just as bad , albeit with a different set of effects . To be honest , I think a big part of the problem is the ghettoisation of a lot of these sorts of communities , but that ' s difficult to solve at this point because of the obvious problem of forced relocation of minorities .
