Why don't they ban short shorts for men first?

 

Much bigger problem

Equality laws prevent this. Also don't you see as baning garments all garments that are worn across the face as a good move to improve public safety?

Nope... I disagree with a ban..  People should be allowed to wear what they want.  However, when pictures of facial features are required for identity cards such as passports and driver's licences or to prove identy when voting, then wearers should be required to remove the facial veil without fuss or muss...

Public Safety? Sure.. Yet, no one's out there banning masks, wigs, sunglasses or hats, which can obscure as much of the face as a veil...
