I am just not getting your point about "penises, testicles, vulvas, labia, clitorises and breasts." Is it the things themselves you find offensive? Or the words? Or discussing them in public? What is it about the post that disturbed you?

Bonus question - do you imagine that Mq was offended? If so, why?

Why do you suppose that people in New Guinea wouldn't care about the civil liberties of others? Is there something about people in New Guinea that makes them insensitive to human rights? Are human rights "downright comical"?

I do see a lot of people wearing headscarves in my neighborhood. When I dropped my son off at college this AM every girl that I saw (four) was wearing a black hijab. It's quite fashionable around here. The girls do cover themselves modestly when it comes to skin but their blouses and trousers are usually quite tight.

Full chador is uncommon on the street, and likely to remain so - the women don't go out on the streets much. I have seen women in full chador in Middle Eastern grocery stores, and once even a burka. I don't think a man in chador would look like a woman but maybe in a burka.
