Wow, completely different. They are wearing nun uniforms because they are nuns, not because they are women sex objects. And they are not required to be in uniform everytime they step out of the house or every time they are going to be seen by a man. Comparing a nun wearing her habit to Muslim women having to wear a niqab is totally ignorant and dishonest.

They really don't see themselves as being able to resist the allure of an elbow or an ankle or, allah-forbid, a woman's face? Are muslim men really that weak and enslaved to their biological urges that if they see a relatively 'uncovered' woman that they get all gropey or rapey or adulterous?
Some even have to cover their eyes with that mesh material. Like, an eye is too tempting because she is nothing but a sex object and men are nothing but pigs who are going to act on instinct. It's just awful.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
