Burqas and niqabs aren’t even required, unlike hijabs, and are instead part of a conservative movement.
That being said, this still reads a bit off. You can apply that logic to all “feminine” acts.
“Makeup is never a choice. They are always forced upon women by tradition, patriarchy, and beauty standards. They’re tools of oppression and should be banned everywhere.”
At the end of the day, I think governments should simply not have police dictating gender-specific clothing.
That’s the thing though, hijabs are NOT required in the islamic scriptures. The most the quran says is for women and men to act modestly. But that ultimately doesn’t mean anything because women are literally treated like cattle in islam. They’re considered mentally deficient, impure creatures that exist as property for men. They have no rights, they have no agency, they have no dignity in islam. Your point comes across as a red herring because it disregards all the context and tries to pretend this is purely about clothes. It’s not.
