An argument for modesty, and against the burqa
Scientists have apparently found that men focus on a woman's body when seeking a date (or short term relationship), but look at her face only when.....seeking a wife. In other words, science confirms what Grandmother said about how to dress; boyfriends might be won from the neck down, but husbands are won from the neck up. Notice also that men seeking a wife looked at the face; obviously the burqa isn't in line with sound science.
