Carla G wrote:I can understand Linda's aversion to going back simply based on the way some middle eastern establishments treat western women. Men don't experience this the way we do. I am all for religious freedom and diversity but please don't make western women feel like individuals deserving of derision simply because we don't wrap up every part of our body. If I go to Muslim nations I'd wear their respectful garb but if you open an establishment here don't expect burkas from us if you want our business. A female friend and I had a very ugly experience at The Grape Leaf on Frankfort Ave years ago. We were 50 year old ladies in khakis and golf shirts and you would have thought we were street walkers. Every other woman in there had burkas on.
