    You know, this is a fair point, but there’s a few differences.

    Not all jobs require a suit, there’s a lot of choice (you could get through life never wearing one). Its also only required during working hours. Not around the clock. Women have been killed over these expectations. Its not the same.

        I can conceive of an individual woman wanting to wear one.

I tend to believe that Muslim woman have a choice when they choose not to wear one because they often face abuse from other Muslims.
