I learned something today

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I post the "Lesson of the Day", so I obviously learned something today. However, those are mostly just a one liner of something that has happened today and a lot of times, it's the closest I can get to writing about certain things such as work and classes. This post is a little different.

As a woman, I've always been self conscious about my body. I'm not completely comfortable with the way I look, so my clothing is conservative. When I go out, it's jeans and tshirts, and work appearl is business suits. I've always admired women who feel comfortable enough with their bodies that they can wear whatever they wish.

However, I have seen Muslim women who walk around completely covered, and I've always been somewhat curious as to how they feel about this. I know that this is part of their religion, so I never really felt that it was something that was forced onto them and I definetly never felt a need to tell them that they are oppressed in some way. This article is about some Muslim women who have decided to be covered in public. It's a fascinating article, and I highly recommend that you take some time to read it.
