Oh, this conversation has wandered into the realm of the ridiculous. Let's stop oppression by removing people's rights to wear the clothing of their choosing! A more contradictory statement would be hard to come by. When feminists decided bras were oppressive, we didn't ban them. Corsets aren't banned. Long skirts aren't banned and if you don't think that women got beat for showing a little ankle back in the day, you are sorely misinformed. Islam is not the only manner of oppressing women. Women become oppressed when people start legislating their rights by taking away their rights. Make it illegal to force a woman to wear something she does not want to wear, by all means. Don't make it illegal for her to choose her own clothing. For pity's sake. The concept is not difficult to understand.
Just to be clear, women still have a right to stay with men who beat them, if they want. We should have that right. I should be allowed to do whatever the fuck I want in that regard.
