I don't understand what you're saying. Did I not make myself clear? In a secular society, wearing a burqa is a personal choice, just like wearing a baseball cap and hoody (a similarly intimidating combination).
I've not seen any evidence of anyone being 'forced' to wear burqas. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I maintain that, from my point of view, in a secular society, a burqa is a personal choice and cannot be seen as a cipher of 'male opression' immediately. Again, perhaps it is in some cases, but I know from my experience that this is not the facts in every case.
Am I still missing something here?
