More on Muslim women...
The current preoccupation with religious dress for Muslim women is further evidence of a worrying pattern in the way in which women in general - and Muslim women in particular - are involved with political debate. Rather than being invited to comment on questions accross the political spectrum, Muslim women are invited to give an opinion only on issues perceived as relating to their own experience, such as religious dress, arranged or forced marriage, or the role of women within their faith.

1997 and all that

The problem with that attitude, as with the general liberal melancholia about Blair, is that it tends to manifest itself in a generalised sense of failure.
