Ive seen this line of reasoning before. By draping women in tents, you make them all equal in the eyes of men. Of course, you also make them totally devoid of individualityin short, you strip them of their femininity and turn them into annonymous entities that are shapeless and interchangable. I presume you've never seen the hijab styles from countries outside of the Arab world, otherwise you wouldn't make such a broad statement.
Muslim women in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. wear very colorful, beautiful hijabs in all colors of the rainbow. These women are not shapeless and interchangable.

It seems to me that many of your either have a problem with women covering their cleavage with a scarf or have no idea that a hijab, burka and niqab are totally different headcoverings!

I must apologize for my fellow "men". Ladylike decorum, modesty and virtue are a slap in the face to our ungentlemanly leering eyes. All too often we respond unreasonably to such chastisement.

I will concede that the women in the photo look far more stylish than the “eyes only”, tent-like hijabs you see in some countries. That being said, I STILL think the women in the photo look very much alike (and, yes, interchangable). Enforcing that kind of conformity, even if it comes in multiple colors, is offensive to me as a man and (I believe) unacceptable to almost all Western women.

The redhead is hot and the blond one isn’t too bad either.
