    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?

      This law isn’t exclusive to women, it applies to men too

      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.

        Being Islamophobic is a Virtue now?
