Banning the burqa is limiting agency just as much as mandating it. Yeah, I think veiling etc. is honestly a stupid and ridiculously misogynistic custom, but I don't think the fix is just another rule to limit women's autonomy, but in a different way than before.

But we should ban leopard print clothing.

And mandate overalls. Just overalls. Nothing underneath.
