@cobrat “our personal opinion on that is not necessarily shared by most Muslim women I’ve known who’ve donned it for their own personal religious beliefs.”
I have heard religious people assert that this does not happen, that muslim women want to dress like that, and that this a a Islamophobic perspective. However, when I suggest that if women all love it does not happen then perhaps the women should be allowed to wear whatever they wish, but pressuring or coercing them to wear a burka or head-covering of any kind should be a felony, and since the pressuring is not happening, no one would go to jail. In my experience, none of them think that is a good solution, which suggests to me that they were lying from the beginning.
In spite of my view that in some cases it is coerced, I agree that she or a person of any religion should be allowed to wear what they wish within reasonable parameters. I would prefer the camoflage colander, but people should be able to do as they wish.
