I'm With Dawkins

Ahh, the apparent contradictions that are not contradictions!
"I do feel visceral revulsion at the burqa because for me it is a symbol of the oppression of women."
...
"As a liberal I would hesitate to propose a blanket ban on any style of dress because of the implications for individual liberty and freedom of choice," he said.
Of course he means a real liberal, not what is meant in the US by that term. A classical liberal.

I may be a bit confused
but don't we already have dress regulations
in western society?

How far would a man or woman get
walking down Yonge street
wearing only bikini underpants?

(Assuming, of course, it was not Gay Pride Day)
