France :
While Islamic institutions bind women in a burqa, western values confront concealing of women in it as a ‘prison’, which is not dignified for any living human being. In a glamour world with increasing display of women body parts, defenders of the burqa justify it on grounds of decency and morality but those opposing it hold it as the insignia of a totalitarian political project for sexual inequality.

Not exactly - It depends on the individual’s perception- It cannot be generalised saying it’s inequality.

Yes. You ask the woman who wears one how she feels during the hot summer months. You will know what she is enduring.

It would be inequality fithe women are forced into wearing them in a predominantly patriarchal society.
But what of women in Developed nations who Choose to wear them?
I think intention and context play a huge role here. It cannot be generalised.

I wish there would have been a neutral option here. Well, it depends whether Burqa is a symbol for sexual imparity or not. If forced, it is, but if willed, it’s not.

With due respect to all cultures, I don’t understand how any woman will choose or rather wish to wear a burqa. If that would have been the case, why are women of other cultures not desiring to wear simliar costumes? I think nobody will actually want to be masked from head to toe.
I think a women wanting to wear a burqua out of her own will is actually doing so because her value systems, her culture and peer behavior oblige her to develop a mindset to accept the costume and this is misinterpreted as her own will.
