Yep. And nonetheless I view burqas as at least unhealthy and possibly disgusting. I think that EVEN WHEN THEY ARE WORN BY CHOICE, which, by the way, it seems they often are when they're worn in Quebec, if you bother to read the actual interviews with the actual people who actually wear them.

Which doesn't mean it's my or the government's place to ban them outright.

And you know what? If a woman is in fact being forced to wear a burqa, and the government turns around and forces her OUT of that burqa, but does absolutely nothing to address whoever or whatever was forcing her before, SHE IS NOT GETTING ANY MORE AGENCY. She's just being pushed around twice over and very possibly put into an untenable situation. Big help.

Furthermore,  that this "uncover your face" nonsense isn't about feminism. It's maybe 1 percent about feminism, and 99 percent about people who are uncomfortable with the alien. Feminism is being used as cover to let politicians pander to xenophobes.
