Women should not be forced to cover their face and body with an oppressive black blanket with slits cut for eyes.  Why you ask PM, because its 2017! Please no tripe about culture or religion.  What female would choose to adorn a black blanket over her head in 40 plus C, desert heat where they are from.  That had to be the idea of some insecure coward males.  Some say religion, most others say its not part of that religion.
