No.
Majority of women wear it because of sexist opression. They don’t have the real choice of not wearing it even if they believe they wear it “because I want to”.
Also, using nuns is not a valid argument, because
it’s a uniform
and
nuns are nuns because they devote their lives, amongst other things, to not have children. Do those women depicted swore chastity and celibacy?
We never seem to see people complaining about what nuns wear, which I find to be a double standard.
Different context. Nuns wear their costume when they are serving. That’s why you don’t see nuns in full dress at Walmart.
But I see women in full burkas (always with their husband, of course) struggling in everyday situations.
If the religion requires it, it’s a terribly oppressive one. These women “chose” not to face consequences, so they wear it. That’s why there are international protests by women who call to reject these fabric cages.
Sure, but many women choose to wear these and that’s fine if that’s what they want to do.
Choose and Required are opposites.
I see plenty of Muslim women without them, indicating it’s a choice for most.
Not in countries controlled by religion.
Choose to because otherwise they get kicked from the family?
I would argue those are the minority of cases.
They aren’t.
It’s literally enforced by the government
I didn’t know my government, the UK, was enforcing people wearing religious clothing. TIL.
That’s a very obtuse response and the governments I’m referencing are obvious.
It’s also worn out of fear. People falsly believe it protects you from sexual assault.
Sure, but the vast majority of people wear it because it part of their religion and they want to.
I’m not religious in the slightest, but I support people’s right to choose.

Neither do I care what people wear. I’m just stating a misleading factor behind the attire.
Also, I never see nuns in public.
