I totally get where you're coming from... I was raised by a feminist.

But at the same time, there's something a bit off about this law... it is very specifically aimed at a certain ethnic group.

I could easily be accused of being a bit wonky, but I take blind justice very seriously... a government should not be able to arbitrarily persecute people.

If they'd wanted to they could have framed the law to say "Nobody can hide their face in public without a permit, as in the case of parade performers".

It really would have been that simple. An equally applied law. But noooo.. they had to make it a France vs. Muslim issue...
