feminism

The province of Quebec in Canada, in all its infinite wisdom (insert witty sarcastic comment here), has decided to table legislation that would ban the niqab - and any face covering if worn from receiving public services from the provincial government.

The alleged grave concerns? Identity theft and impersonation. The likely realities? Racism, ignorance, colonialism, and general Islamophobia.

Now the intersection – what are feminists saying about this issue?
