Inciting hatred is a crime. Wearing a head dress of any kind is not a hate crime and is thus incomparable.

I'd imagine limiting a woman's choice of clothing by banning head dresses is also offensive to women's rights as it's dictating what they can or cannot wear. Banning an item of clothing that doesn't incite hatred is a pointless endeavour, I think restricting it like you would a hoodie or a mask in certain places is fine but a ban is flawed.
