I still haven't decided what I think of the burqa - one part of me says that if women feel that this is how they connect to God, I shouldn't stop them, but the other part of me screams that it's a nasty, sexist, patriarchal tradition that should be overthrown.
I actually wrote a paper a while ago that won a feminist award about the positive impact the Barbie doll had on Second-Wave Feminism, and to hear that she's been shrouded in a burqa gives me mixed feelings (as expounded on above).
