    Since the jacket of a 'lounge' / business suit is nothing more than a re-tailored military tunic, yes, we should ban suits. You doubt me? Well, turn the lapels in and the collar up - you can very easily convert a jacket into a tunic for theatrical use; the button-hole even functions for the missing top button. And UA-camr Lindybeige has a rant about how impractical they are too.

    Hey Henry (and Thom for that matter), banning burkas isn't meant to keep woman from from attacking others. It's meant to help woman who are oppressed, who have no voice, and are forced to wear them (have you been living under a rock with what's happened in Iran for example?). But Henry, if you're facing possible mutilation or worse by not wearing a suit, then by all means speak up.

By the way woke is a term used going back to the 30s and has many meanings….e.g….seize hold of the world….heap blame on…refer to The Book of Contemporary Slang by linguistic and lexicographer Tony Thorne. It is actually a word that means….nothing…it’s a current fad/trend…..Your welcome to get back to me on that.
