This really annoys me because there would probably be uproar on here if gay or black men were forced/conditioned (amounts to the same) to wear such restrictive clothing, but when many men in particular, appear to have such an apathetic reaction to women having to do so it reeks of sexist undertones to me.

And what of women who choose to wear the Hijab or Burka? Are they, ironically considering your stance, not allowed to make that choice for themselves?
The only ridiculous analogy in this thread thus far has been yours about the gays. It doesn't really make a lick of sense.
