I am also of 2 minds when it comes to a "ban on the burka", It seems to me that if a government put a ban on the burka, then this just supports the females that would otherwise be obliged by their husbands to be covered up completely in public, but unfortunately there are also those who have internalised that control to the point that they are only comfortable living under it's yoke. The analogue is that of a slave accompanying his master to a country where he is declared free, only to wish to remain wearing the chains of his serfdom, even though he could choose freedom.
