Authoritarian religions are always birthed from the notion that submission will save you from something bad

Thanks. And I loved yours, too!

Sharia and Statism... both are insanely dangerous. (I dare say, especially to women!)

Agreed.

Right on.

So true.

Incidentally, the one on the left does look like Moslem converts I've seen.

Where I was living for 21 years (Arthur Ave, Bx), you'd see some here and there who converted because of marriage (There's quite a few Moslems mainly from the Balkans, some Middle East), and they always look like her, sometimes bespectacled, and with beige toned garments. Like is there a section in their dress store for American convert wives?

They also always look like they're in dire need of additional fiber in their diet, as the consequences of the lack of such is affecting their mood which in turn is affecting their expression.

Interesting. I know there are several online shops that offer Muslim women's clothing.

lol! Yeah, the chronic constipation glower seems a common affliction among many angry people, whatever their faith.

"the chronic constipation glower"!!!!! HAA!

Thing it it's that but with this arrogant air, like they wanna kill you but you're too icky for them to touch.

I've seen some of the real (as in imported) ones round here with long coats (black ones and even blue denim!) which actually look good (I basically dress in black and liked wearing longish garb back in the day, but not being easy to find round these parts I don't wear em much anymore lest they get tattered), and I'm tempted to ask where they got them, but I ain't asking.

Ooh, I like your fashion sense!

haha, thanks.

An ex had bought me this linen one that was retro UK Mod style-ish (bout the only thing good she ever did for me), it's a beaut.

Couple years later I started layering that with various ones I found, like of different lengths, with the longest on the inside. Totally different styles, but some folks though it was one piece made to look layered.

Scared the frik out of people in school (Fordham U) walking the campus at night as even tho it was the 90s with Alt Rock big, it was a prep & jock school, so they'd be asking if I was a witch or vampire or even Satan or some stupid crap - I swear. Well that school did suck hell baked nuts, so sure, pleased to meet me, why not?

Oh, and I have a glower of my own (a family trait), so that didn't help much in the "No, dumbass, I'm not gonna kill you in the middle of campus" dept.

Good times,,,

Ah, college and fashion life in the 90's, you've brought back memories. I loved the fashions pop during those times though. Very sorry for the reactions the snobs gave you.

Oh, I was cool with it, comes with the territory. I had gotten used to being the weirdo misfit since my teens, so no biggie. And I like bugging people out, give them something to think about.

You'd see some on occasion at night quicken their step while glancing back at me nervously, yet I'm the type of idiot that runs to the rescue, so I enjoyed how - wait for it - ironic it was.

Sorry, I hadda.

~ It's like rai-i-ain,,, ~

hahaha, now it's on rotate in your head!

oh no, and mine!
WHY DO I DO THIS TO ME!?! WHY!?! WHY!?!

Oh, and for clarification, the glower I'm referring to is exhibited by American converts.
The foreign women usually don't show it, although quite a few of the M.East and some Pakistani men do.
