Funny how you're so concerned about women rights, yet to fail to see how a burqa IS in fact a symbol that men are superior to women(which isn't true).
Oh well, finally something to be proud of in Belgium that isn't beer/chocolate/waffles/comics/cycling
99.999% of the women in Belgium don't even wear a burqa you know, I don't think anyone will care here except a few extremist Muslims and tree huggers.

Symbols are less then attitudes.
By banning the Burqa you are reinforcing attitudes of sexism.
You go to college right? Track down a sociology professor and ask them... they'll tell you how banning the Burqa will be a negative for womens rights.

One of my professors is Etienne Vermeersch. Google him, he's pretty famous

He's also not a sociologist. Banning the Burqa would be analgous to thinking there is a problem with Neo-nazism, so you ban the swastika. Good job, all you've accomplished is banned a symbol and ALSO made it harder to distinguish those with a problem from those without one. This is why france is one of the most racist and sexist countries in the developed world. Rather then acknowledge and try and change problems they try and hide them. No, what you do is you put social pressure on people who mistreat their spouses. That is how you get socioogical change.
