The sentiments around the "eye babies" issue sounds a lot like the reasoning behind the wearing of the burkkah in Islamic communities. Actually, IMHO, the Christian version is more oppressive because, while Islamic doctrine recognizes that the flesh is weak, it proscribes a remedy to allow deobjectification for both sexes. The fundamentalists, however, do not. They prscribe a certain behavior that is unrealistic.
