Even if women say that they want to do it, wearing a head scarf or some garment like a partial or complete burqa is just plain bullshit. It is not about religion or belief but a man's obsession with controlling women and making them second class citizens.
I saw a Frontline special on "Uncovering Saudi Arabia". What a bunch of tribalist cretins they are the way they treat women and they spread their cancerous poison through the plant. If Wahabists and radical Moslems had their way ALL women would be required to live by their super Puritanical standards. In the end their attitude toward women is extreme misogyny meant to make women their sex slaves. In some areas sexual mutilation is an acceptable practice. Even worse is women must be treated by a female doctor where female doctors are few or not allowed.
They believe in the ultimate separation of the sexes where women are not much better than. Being forbidden to go anywhere with our you husband or a male relative is absurd. And to be punished or even killed for violating such dictum is NOT religious belief. Honor killing is still the law of the land in places like Saudie Arabia and other parts of the world. India is another glaring example and they are not Moslems for the most part.
So any male Moslem who believes in such crap has my disrespect. Screw their religion if that is what they believe.
ADDENDUM: Wearing certain kinds of garments because of religious belief really is NOT voluntary upon careful examination. Brainwashing, programming and influencing from an early age to trick the person into believing they are volunteering is in play. Other social forces also play into continuing the activity. Even violence as we know is a real factor.
Certain sects even beyond Islamic go to extreme measures to separate the sexes. The Catholic Church did the same thing with same sex schools. It is worse in Islamic with separation even in worship and normal living activities. The idea that a woman can ONLY be seen by her husband or legitimate male relative is absolutely insane.
Some fucking cultural idea need to die. Sorry for the language. We are in the 21st century.
