Who gives a shit what people wear? Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it should be banned. People like to cry about the nanny state and then go all in for regulating things that personally offend them yet ultimately cause no harm.

Devil's advocate, but by that logic you'd be good with people wandering around with swastikas proudly displayed?

For my opinion, I don't think banning clothing or telling women what to wear is the answer but religious items are definitely symbols of sometimes very sexist ideologies. I just wish true equality was achievable so these stupid conversations and laws didn't exist. Honestly, I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about it, though.
