So going by the arguments against women wearing the burka because the nasty man of the house made them cover up, if the burka is banned doesnt it just mean same nasty man will keep the woman indoors and send young (as in of pre burka wearing age) girls out to do the shopping etc?

So by banning the burka we create domestic prisoners. An ideal solution to misogynistic religious practices.

Education not legislation.

The acceptance of a visual representation of gender oppression is a tacit nod of approval for that attitude and the practices associated with it.

I am not denying that.

But once again you havent addressed the point in quiestion. What happens if in some cases the head of the muslim household simply confines the female who would have been allowed out in a burqa to the house?
