Large parts of Europe are extremely conservative when it comes to clothing rules. In many countries it is forbidden to hide your face in public. I think forcing people to show certain body parts is as offensive as the opposite.

The face thing is more about safety rather than some of those other parts. Closest similarity would be wanting hands visible.
