I do question those assertions that ALL women in a burqua are being forced to do so. As is the case with Christianity, pious adherents to the faith will put the religious dogma ahead of any external moral considerations. An example is women banned from being priests in the catholic church. It is their belief system, we should respect that, so long as they are not trying to ram their religion down our throats or try to impose their dogma on our legal system and own personal freedoms.
The Muslims have it wrong anyway. I actually find their women more appealing when they are covered like that. The mystery...
And maybe not all ties should be banned, but it should be illegal to force employees to wear them, and all ties with a cartoon character or other gimmick should be burned in the town square, with all high heels too.
Actually, I question whether any woman would wear high heels if it wasn't expected by mainstream Western society. BAN THEM! They are uncomfortable and are purely for the benefit of some men's sexual gratification.
