How do you know that?

Try wearing a headcovering for an entire day and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Hijab, sure, easy. But a burka or a niqab? Nah, ain't no-one choosing that without years of conditioning.

You could legit say "they're forced to and groomed from young age to X" and replace X with anything you want and it'll work so you're not really saying much.

"They're forced from a young age to respect differences and think for themselves and groomed not to behave in a way that limits the freedom of others."

Yeah, totally the same, isn't it? /s

"Taking a sledgehammer against a core pillar of a democratic society" what are you talking about? You think a code democratic principle is being broken here by limiting burkas and niqabs?

Sure, buddy

This you?
