Where do I make such statements? I mentioned only that I cover by choice based on my religious convictions, which I did not even go into detail over, as this is not the place for a religious debate. It is not me or for any human being to make any matter of religion compulsory. Neither do I look down on anyone who chooses not to cover as I do. This post is about women having the right to dress as they choose without people making assumptions as to why they wear what they wear. And my response was to KR. I explained to him that covering up was not something I was conditioned to do from childhood(quite on the contrary!)and that no man in my life had anything to do with my decision.
