It is not functioning as a garment, it is a device used to enforce modesty and mark someone as second class citizen. It is more similar to a straight jacket or a yellow star than a hat. What complicates it is some people of faith want to wear it and are persecuted for that.

Making it simply a choice of clothing is reductionism and you know it.

Society enforced modesty on all of us by requiring underwear. And I'm tired of it.

Do you consider the widespread laws in the West that require women to cover their chests in public similarly oppressive?
