That's the whole idea of being forced to wear it in the first place Should western companies be pandering to the prejudices of the unenlightened? Corporate greed must be the reason. Maybe the sisterhood should go on the rampage .. add a few fireworks and with all that cheap wood around, Ikeas throughout the country would make great bonfires.
