Back in the era of burqa wars on this blog (does anybody on here remember them?), I was stunned by how hard it was to explain that forcing people to cover their faces isn’t a fashion choice like any other and that not having the right to show your face deprives you of identity, agency, and the capacity to communicate as a valid human being. There’s such poor understanding of how human brain works that people were honestly not getting it.
We are now seeing the effect of this ignorance in the embrace of mask mandates.

Burqa – it’s like a pre-vaccine mask mandate! Except that some would think that’s a good thing.

Yep. And it’s exactly the same people who were chirping about the liberating effects of the burqa that are now mask fanatics.
