I've heard more "nun jokes" in the last 50 years, than criticism of 
Middle-Eastern dress codes. Nuns may be "respected for (their) submission to 
God", but they are STILL being ridiculed for the "uniform" they once wore 
(the only nuns I know wearing "traditional" clothing are Buddhist; the only 
Catholic nuns I've met in the last couple of decades, wear modern Western 
clothing-- "business attire".)

About the only praise coming the way of Western "stay at home moms" is from 
rather ummm.... conservative.... elements of Western society. Those who call 
for the "liberalization" of Moslem women tend to criticize, and treat as if 
they are a bit retarded, those who choose, for whatever reason, to stay home 
with the kids. Been there, done that. Still doing that mostly. Stay at home 
dads get even more criticism -- and from all sides....
