Aren't you just being a supercilious twit?
Quite disparaging too.
I see the scene in an entirely different perspective....which I think I have explained in my defence of Less.
Tell me, how do you determine who you are speaking to......don' t you look at their face?

A niqab makes it impossible to decide whether the person behind it is a friend or not.
You have dreamed up your scenario to justify your comments.
