In the U.S., there were many decades when the low bun was associated with a decidedly practical, puritanical, even schoolmarmish look: Think of Olivia de Havilland as the boringly sensible Melanie Hamilton in "Gone With the Wind" or sweet, frumpy Auntie Em in "The Wizard of Oz," her weary face framed by wiry gray hair, pulled back and firmly coiled.

Guy Bentley, the director of consumer freedom at the libertarian-leaning Reason Foundation who was raised in England and still dressed as if he were there (he had on a tweed-looking suit jacket and was perhaps the only person at the rally with a tie), explained that in the U.S. there's a puritanical insistence that quitting—whatever vice it is—should be as painful as possible.

Thomas L. Friedman The biggest question about the recent protests in Iran — combined with the recent lifting of religious restrictions in Saudi Arabia — is whether together they mark the beginning of the end of the hard-right puritanical turn that the Muslim world took in 1979, when, as Middle East expert Mamoun Fandy once observed, "Islam lost its brakes" and the whole world felt it.

I began my career then as a cub reporter in Beirut, where I promptly found myself writing about the following events: the ayatollahs' takeover in Iran, creating a hard-right Shiite clerical regime bent on spreading its Islamic revolution and veiling of women across the Muslim world; and the takeover of the Grand Mosque in Mecca by puritanical Sunni extremists, which freaked out the Saudi ruling family.

To infer from Sullivan's representation of Hernandez that he's pro-murder would be to attribute something outlandish to him, whereas to infer from Sullivan's representation of Weinstein that he agrees with many op-ed writers, cable news talking heads, comedy show bookers, and others that today's young women have become excessively puritanical in their view of sexual harassment is far less of a stretch.

"It's really easy to veer into the territory of being very puritanical about this, but what really hits home with me (is), OK, if all of your options are really fitted, then that tells you that you have to show your body all the time, that everyone has to be able to see the shape of your body all the time," said Hartman, a mom of two, ages 20133 and 5.

I started my career as a reporter in the Middle East in Beirut in 29, and so much of the region that I have covered since was shaped by the three big events of that year: the takeover of the Grand Mosque in Mecca by Saudi puritanical extremists — who denounced the Saudi ruling family as corrupt, impious sellouts to Western values; the Iranian Islamic revolution; and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

In culturally puritanical times—when the concept of "Englishness" has become a dangerous and divisive metric, and people vote for the future to resemble a halcyon past that has only ever existed in the advertising of UKIP and forces like those listed above—it's important to remember that those fields are responsible for providing more than a bland backdrop for the "Chipping Norton set" to live out their Downton daydreams.

After all these years of anti-MMA legislators bottling up bills in committee and preventing them from coming to a vote and filling the ears of their colleagues and their constituents and the press with their squeamish, Puritanical concerns, now that the day of jubilee finally appears to be upon us, why can't the Democratic caucus just push their support for MMA into their own budget and leave the naysayers out in the cold?

Indeed, to this very day, Thomas, much like many conservatives such as Republican nominee Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpPossible GOP challenger says Trump doesn't doesn't deserve reelection, but would vote for him over Democrat O'Rourke: Trump driving global, U.S. economy into recession Manchin: Trump has 'golden opportunity' on gun reforms MORE, have a penchant of invoking God and acting puritanical in public, but being prurient in their words and deeds behind closed doors.

Considering the hugely damaging role that Saudi Arabia played in the Arab Muslim world, when, post-1979, it began to aggressively spread its puritanical form of Islam — which helped seed 9/11 — the idea that the kingdom might have a leader today who was beginning to shift Saudi Sunni Islam onto a more open and inclusive path, one that would isolate radical Islamists and strengthen moderates everywhere, was a vital American interest.

Conservatism made him whole, made him real, validated his puritanical views on, basically, everything; conservatism legitimizes the idea that prejudice and privilege are not acidic but something charming, 8mm with the projector humming, that it's ingrained in an America we must return to, where girls don't wear bikinis without a man's consent, spring breakers don't get drunk on beaches because they don't get drunk at all, because Sean Hannity doesn't get drunk at all; they used to call him "half a Heineken Hannity," see?

To talk -- as the President did -- about shared values between America and a state that is undemocratic, repressive, discriminates against women, and gays, whose political elite relies on a partnership with a clerical establishment that legitimizes, expounds and spreads a puritanical form of Islam that is anti-semitic, anti-Christian, anti-western and funds religious educational programs, mosques, imams and religious schools that do the same, not only enables the very forces the US is trying to defeat, but identifies America with a Muslim nation that hardly represents moderate or progressive views.
