MODERATORS
Is it a bad idea for me, a non-religious person, to wear one in solidarity? (As well as for privacy, sun protection, etc.)
(I do not live in France.)
I fail to see why not. It's just a dress. You shall wear whatever resonates with you.
It's not just a dress, unfortunately. It's a dress, strongly associated with female oppressive rules of Islam.
I have been in some pagan veiling online circles and have discovered that a lot of non-Muslims use Muslim-style veils and it usually is not considered offensive, so I think that it would be okay for an irreligious person to use one.
No, I do not. Sorry I didn't say that. Probably an important detail... I'll edit it in.
It's not a bad idea, it's just really useless, especially since you don't even live here. The dresses are pretty though, I used to have one that I wore at home pretty often, as a non-Muslim person in France. It's definitely not a bad thing. It's just a dress.
