An acquaintance of mine explained to me that she prefers wearing a burqa because she's uncomfortable being stared at by men, and feels much more at ease with it than without it. I can understand that. It isn't how I was raised, but it does make sense to me.
I'll be completely honest here, but the problem lies with that woman. If she is only comfortable with covering herself up from top to toe because she doesn't want to be stared at by men, then there is something truly wrong.
Granted, banning burqa's isn't going to solve her problem at all, perhaps it's too late for that, but perhaps we should try and do something to prevent other women to get to that state?
The basic idea of a burqa is despicable, whether or not that alone justifies a ban is something else.

Wearing a burqa makes it pretty much impossible to integrate to begin with. Should we change our society to make it possible or should we change the burqa?
