      We’re not great, but we don’t publicly torture women for not covering their heads…

      Which people? Pretty sure you’d find lots of people doing just that, mostly those who are criticizing policies like the one in the article as well.

        In my experience many of the most strident critics of hair coverings refuse to see the similarity to anti-nudity laws, especially nipple covering which is specific to women.

        I mean I think the downvotes speak to the fact that the average person is not willing to admit the harms that our own ideas of modesty cause.

          Or they think you’re using whataboutism to make it about an issue your personally care about instead of the still very real issue conveyed in the article.
