Umm, it's probably hotter than that where she comes from. Yet somehow, millions survive it.

Umm, millions survive it ..miserably. As the women in the middle east survive beatings, oppression, honor dismemberment, etc. I guess that's okay with you since YOU and the middle east men don't ever have to experience the degradation, objectification and abuse the mid east women do.

That sort of remark no doubt was said about the Jews when they were locked up in train cargo containers on the way to the oven camps during WWII. It was probably hot, yet somehow some survived it.

If you have been in the desert with tempertatures in excess of 100 degrees, you would find that the layers of cotton clothing of native dress actually keep you cool through an isulation effect. There is also a wicking effect of perspiration which cools also.

Heavt Clothing in such conditions does not equal
suffering, it actually helps a lot to cope with heat.

The long (loose) garb actually helps shield from the sun.
