I read you just fine. The only distinction you're making are semantics. So come again on how dress codes are down to society or public opinion. Or don't. There's nothing on laws to be constructed. There's only something on how a society can dictate what you do or don't wear.
Freedom of expression? Not so much.
No, I hold equality before the law as more fundamental than absolute freedom of expression. If law is so designed to bans equivalent expression by one group but not another, that's a much more fundamental, and potentially much more destructive, problem than whether the threshold for impartially judging whether some expressions are harmful and should be banned is exactly appropriate.
