Equating tasteful consideration for others with religious oppression? That's also in poor taste.
From what I have seen and read there is no indication that this woman was not using a cover, and there is no indication that a modesty covering is sufficient to avoid the “that is disgusting and you should do it in private” element.
If the woman was using a cover, then she WAS showing tasteful consideration for others. But apparently not enough for some. For some, even if they don't see anything, just knowing it is going on offends them.
They are mental.
