I worked in a library once that had a lot of Muslim students from various countries. Some of the women wore various types of hijabs, a few were clothed from head-to-toe in the summer. (I asked one student if she didn't get really hot, and her answer was that she was used to it, and air circulates underneath it.) Hey, it's their culture and the way they are used to living.
But there was this one group - two sisters and a brother, all studying together. The girls would be completely covered up in the summer, and he would be in a tank top, shorts, and flip flops. I didn't think that was fair. And then his sisters would help him with his homework, or just do it for him, and he'd be flirting with all the women walking by. I was . . . not impressed . . . but kept my mouth shut. But this guy acted his sisters were his slaves, and I wish I could have gotten away with asking him why he was too stupid to do his own homework.
YES! I have seen this in my husband's and my old apartment complex! It would be like...95 degrees out and the women would be wearing long black robes while their men would be wearing American shorts and polo t-shirts. WTF?!
