Yes and no. As a liberal, I actually don’t think it’s great that under some religious systems women are treated unfairly and are either required to (or socially strong armed into) wearing oppressive clothing or following oppressive lifestyle obligations. Someone wearing drag is them expressing who they really are despite what culture tells them they are supposed to be. Hiding yourself away under religious modesty clothing (while the men of those same religions don’t have to do it) is the opposite of true freedom.

It is, but forcing women not to wear a niqab is doing the exact same thing with the opposite result. Either way, the woman doesn't get a choice.

Plus, even if you don't like it (I don't like it), their husband will allow a woman to go outside wearing a niqab. If it was forbidden, the husband would likely forbid her from ever going outside at all. Forbidding the niqab would solve exactly jack shit except making yourself feel good.

Fuck right the fuck off. How dare you you compare child rape and sexual assault to a woman’s choice to wear clothing? What the actual fuck is wrong with you you sick bastard? Fucking reported.
