When it comes to 'Is it modest for women show their faces, heads, ankles, knees, cleavage' feminist response shld be 'fuck off.'

if it's entirely about cultural norms, that suggests there's no basis to privilege one culture's norms over another's
-
Why does it? The fact that norms exist doesn't mean we can't argue that some are better than others.
-
It should be a feminist principle that women should not be burdened by expectations to cover up more than bare minimum men are.
-
I'd frame it as "the same principles should apply to both"
-
But the principles may or may not be good ones. If neither men nor women are allowed to be atheists, this is still wrong.
-
yes, but then the question becomes one of evaluating the principles on their own merits, not potentially differing applications
-
That's the first step, yes. The principle itself. Then ensuring that it covers everyone.
