I saw a couple like this at the zoo. It bothered me more than I can say that the woman was covered from head to toe and walking several steps behind her husband.

I do not think I am racist, but rather "culturalist". I don't care about the color of someone's skin. I do care if they demean their spouse. That bothers me a lot. If it had been a white, black, purple, green polka dotted you name it man with his silent shrouded wife trailing behind, it would have bothered me a lot.

In my worldview, some things are just plain wrong. And it doesn't matter if someone's culture demands it. I don't think women should be treated that way. I wouldn't like it if I were treated that way. And that's more important to me than the golden idol of "culture".

Flame away. Call me a racist or a bigot or a false feminist or just an ignorant bitch. Names won't change my opinion. :-)
