It is also why in some countries women cover much of their faces. In addition to religious direction, it makes it harder for a man to communicate with a woman, and harder to appreciate some of her physical features. A man cannot see a woman smile at him. This all creates a relationship barrier. It allows the woman to pass through crowds more anonymously.

Mask schmask
I’m over the mask. Do whatever YOU want. My company requires compliance, which is fine. I wear one when I’m scheduled to fly, when the company requires it. My seat is bleeding from every orifice for bodies to fill trips. When the mask mandate is repealed, I might pick one up. Not before. Enjoy!
