Whether or not you're right about the "coercion" factor... try swimming, running, crossing the street, or even just walking around on a summer day while wearing first a purity ring and then a burqa. Then I think maybe you'll see the difference a little more clearly. You won't see it through your peripheral vision while wearing the burqa... but all the same.

Also, geek_son just pointed out that none of his evangelical Christian friends have been beaten in the street for not wearing a purity ring....
