Like, I get wanting to defend the rights of women under oppressive religions and governments, but how exactly does controlling what women are allowed to wear accomplish that?

It’s because this has nothing to do with that. It’s virtue signaling that they don’t like Muslims, nothing less and nothing more.

Austria also has a law like that, and it has been a complete shitshow. There have been fines for someone wearing a scarf while riding a bike and for someone at work dressed up in a body suit in front of the shop for advertisement reasons (like a mascot).

When the law went into effect, the newspapers reported that there were about ten muslim women currently wearing coverings in the whole country.

After years of covid where everyone would supposedly die in terror attacks if the face coverings happened I’m surprised this fear mongering still manages to pass.

Full face covering burqas are not really an Islamic thing. The headscarves are. The burqas are a cultural thing for some. And usually almost nobody actually wears them. But you can get brownie points with the racists for passing these laws and show that your country is well on the way to moral decline.

Apparently measuring a person’s natural walking gait is far more effective at identifying people. Who knew Monty Python had it right, so long ago.

YES!

It’s important how much clothing you wear. Not too much and not too little. It MUST BE the RIGHT amount.

As far as I know socks are banned already in the case they’re white.
