But, did you have your head covered?
No-absolutely not. But a lot of Jordanian women—maybe most—do not cover their heads. That’s not the issue. And I would never wear one of those burkas because I am not a Muslim woman and would never want to identify myself as one. However, I wore loose, straight jumpers below the knee out in public. I did so in order not to offend the culture and to avoid drawing attention to myself. This is not a matter of how one is dressed. It is a matter of what’s on the HEART and MIND of men who get their thrills from subjugating women on the one hand, while on the other assuming that American women are loose.
