It is interesting as someone mentioned about the difference between the perceptions of a Nun wearing a "habit" ie long clothes and head scarf and of a Muslim lady.

As a man to me a nun feels approachable, but with a muslim lady as a man you are not supposed to talk to them anyway and the black is very intimidating. I find the white abayas and head scarfes much less intimidating.

Can someone explain to me the gold/metal looking eye shield things.
