| The religious reason for the burqa is that men cannot act decently if he can see a woman's skin. So she has to wear it to protect herself from our lustfull, primal pervert ways. As such, whenever a woman wear the burqa, it is an abject, bigoted sexist commentary against males in general, that his right up there with "women can't work outside the house" and "blacks can't vote".
As such, not only is the burqa humiliating for women, but it is extremly insulting for men. And the kind of thinking that justify the burqa goes against all the progress we have made concerning sexual equalities in the past hundred years.
So, I say, to hell with the burqa, and with your cultural relativisme!
