I'm honestly surprised they don't make women wear sunglasses.

"OH NO!!! THEIR EYES ARE TOO SEXY!!! IT MAKES ME GET A BONER!!!"

I never understood that logic.

A burqa basically does that:

The term burqa is sometimes conflated with the niqāb even though, in more precise usage, the niqab is a face veil that leaves the eyes uncovered, while a burqa covers the entire body from the top of the head to the ground, with a mesh screen which only allows the wearer to see in front of her.

Although those who demand it usually use religion as a justification...

The wearing of the burqa and other types of face veils have been attested to since pre-Islamic times. Face veiling has not been regarded as a religious requirement by most Islamic scholars, either in the past or the present. A minority of scholars in the Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) consider it to be obligatory for Muslim women when they are in the presence of non-related (i.e., non-mahram) males. This is in order to prevent men from looking (perversely) at women. Additionally, this does not oblige men to wear eye-covering, but instead to lower their gaze.

Wow. I was making absurdist observational humor, and then once again life shows me that absurdism is dead. Everything you can think of to mock has actually already been done, and for the exact reasons you would think are absurd. Instead it's just reality.

Can I go to a world which isn't crazy??? Oh, Earth is the only option???
