I’ve seen this line of reasoning before. By draping women in tents, you make them all “equal” in the eyes of men. Of course, you also make them totally devoid of individuality—in short, you strip them of their femininity and turn them into annonymous entities that are shapeless and interchangable. Feminists these days are so twisted, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them embrace it. If nothing else, its another way to tear down our “oppressive” Western culture—and replace it with one that is downright hostile to women.

Feminazis held burn the bra rallies but you won't see them holding burn the hijab rallies.

I presume you've never seen the hijab styles from countries outside of the Arab world, otherwise you wouldn't make such a broad statement.

Muslim women in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. wear very colorful, beautiful hijabs in all colors of the rainbow. These women are not shapeless and interchangable.

It seems to me that many of your either have a problem with women covering their cleavage with a scarf or have no idea that a hijab, burka and niqab are totally different headcoverings!
