I think that anyone being forced to wear anything or face harsh consequences is degrading. If women wanted to wear these totally out of free choice, then that's fine. But I doubt many would. If they continue to wear it past the point where they have to, I would suspect it's due to being conditioned to wear it.

It says way more about the men in the culture than it does the women.
