Scene from the Amsterdam airport

I know there may be some who read this post and say: “He’s being judgmental of other cultures.” Well boo-hoo and tough nuts. This morning at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, I saw a Muslim woman completely covered up with only a small slit for her eyes. I don't know the technical term but it wasn't a burka, but rather a full chador (?). Anyway, the sad part was that she had two young girls in tow and the smaller was a cute tyke carrying around a pink kiddie suitcase with the words "Red Sox" on this side. All I could think of was: in seven or eight years she'll be covering up for the rest of her life. Even at Red Sox games.
