Tory MP refuses to meet Muslim women wearing burkas

I think it's more of a psychological reason why people disagree with them. It just seems unnatural to hide beneath something, and when you're walking around town you expect to recognise facial features with another human being. I mean, if you're walking around a corner and you bump into someone, you're not that shocked, but if you bump into someone wearing a burkha or hijab, you sort of find it difficult to understand expressions and recognise features, if that makes sense? It's what I seem to notice when people see them. Others either don't know this, don't react like this, or have other factors fall in like women are not objects anymore.

*wolx in* imagine if a guy dressed in a ninja costume walked around the streets, and you dont know whether he has a weapon concealed in his clothes or not.

now imagine its a woman in a ninja suit.

i can see the tory mp's issue, especially after one got stabbed a few weeks ago doing a community meeting. just can't risk it.
