The Burqa or Hijab probably had a practical use at some point in history but God did not ordain that women should should wear those garments.
I understand Squirt's point of view about choice but looking at it relistically females born into a society like that have no choice. I have not seen any non Muslim women adopt the Burqa as a fashion statement.
As Essex points out, Muslim women in the UK are suffering heat stroke in the current heat wave conditions by wearing heavy black garments. Muslim men in the UK are not under any religious instruction to wear traditional clothing in public places.
The tangent that T. is trying to run off at is just not relevant.
Maybe T. can draw a long bow on the issue that some members of the military, etc. are forced to wear a kilt or an Indian can hide a weapon in a turban or Jew is hiding money under a skull cap, point is, they will not be hiding their identity and they have or had a choice to walk away from the traditions of their CLAN.
The examples he used are not chauvenistic or misogynistic in their nature like the Muslim Burqa is.
Steven pleased you dropped by, it's too bad that in a Muslim society where women are subjugated by men that they will never know that their individual life should and could be different.
It's all about choices and some people have no choice at all.
