55. This isn't religious. You can say it over and over but that doesn't make it so

And honestly, corporations can and do dictate what women can wear in their stores all the time. Daily in fact. Men too (no shirt, no shoes, no service. No masks in the credit union. etc. etc.) With the increasing drive offs, the violence and murder in gas stations/convenience stores, I have no problem with a private entity enforcing it's security protocol in regards to masks.

Beyond that society as well has dictated what women can and cannot wear BY LAW and violators will be hauled away to jail for breaking that law. For example, I cannot go topless and testify in court even if that's my "cultural" dress as an Aborigine. By law we have banned that form of public "dress".

The burqa ISN'T religious. That's what's hanging you up. It's cultural. And its very design is misogynistic, to erase women from society. You seem to be okay with that... FGM is also cultural, not religious but we've banned that by law. Destructive cultural practices masked as religious have no part in a civil society. They deserve conversation and when a consensus is reached, and law has been determined, then they are not allowed.
