Because it is an excellent tool to oppress and separate woman and girls from, for example, non-believers. It's also a way to make them remember the religious nonsensical rules all the time. That's the whole reason these veils exist.
So we should try to appeal to them for our values by doing the same thing, making opressive rules about what they can and cannot wear?
Yes, I think when rules can counter opression that's a good thing.
opressive rules do not countrr opression. They just change the opressor
Not every rule is oppressive. For it to be considered oppressive the result has to be harmful. Why is it harmful when girls don't cover their bodies?
If they really chose to cover their bodies freely, so not because they are scared or because they were told that's wrong, where's the harm in not wearing it at school?
