100% true. It's either "our" way or no way! Agree?

Question

I totally agree that this is how most of us are as Americans. We frown upon things not being done our way!

Answer

I'd really like to see some comments on this thread from either side, mostly the "disagree" though

Answer

The nun thing blew my mind, I've never thought of it like that o.O

Answer

I think this is a serious over simplification. I think Anyone who grows a beard for religious reasons is obviously extremely religious. If they weren't they wouldn't do it. And I dont think all women who wear hijabs are oppressed, but there are certainly lots of women who are Forced to wear hijabs and I do think they're oppressed (No one forces anyone to dress like a nun. That's a choice.)

Answer

I certainly can't speak for "we as Americans" but none of my American friends living abroad think this way. One of the things I actually spend a lot of time explaining to people abroad is that America is far bigger and more populated than most people realize, and therefore extremely diverse. I grew up in New England and felt like I was in a foreign country when I went to South Carolina. I didn't understand what people said, I didn't recognize the food, the architecture was totally different, and yet it was still the same country. If I were to drive the same distance in Europe it'd be a completely different country. Just like a Norwegian's perspective is probably not the same as an Italian, so is my perspective not necessarily the same as a Floridian.

Answer

I said disagree, maybe I misunderstood. From a personally perspective, I don't feel this way. But, I do believe a good amount of Americans feel this way  (I don't like saying 100% on things that aren't statistically proven)

Answer

I absolutely agree with this

Answer

Yes, I feel like that's what the Anerican majority feels. But no, I don't feel that way. Not sure which to vote for lol. When the swimsuit thing in France came out, then my friends & I had a discussion over it. We all looked to how nuns dress (grew up in predominantly Catholic area) and even referenced pictures of our grandmas etc. plus we have a couple friends who never in their lives wore a swimsuit, they always wear long shorts & full coverage tank tops at pool/beach (not due to religion, but combo of upbringing & body issues). So I've just never been bothered by different forms of dress. I prefer clothing to be appropriate for the situation, which all cultures offer clothing and styles for all situations.

100% true. It's either "our" way or no way! Agree?
