Like, I get wanting to defend the rights of women under oppressive religions and governments, but how exactly does controlling what women are allowed to wear accomplish that?
It’s because this has nothing to do with that. It’s virtue signaling that they don’t like Muslims, nothing less and nothing more.
Being Islamophobic is a Virtue now?
Yes. Yes it is. Welcome to 2023.
2023 sucks.
It's a lot like the 70s but we have WiFi.
It is for conservatives.

im not the biggest fan of the muslim faith but this is stupid
Austria also has a law like that, and it has been a complete shitshow. There have been fines for someone wearing a scarf while riding a bike and for someone at work dressed up in a body suit in front of the shop for advertisement reasons (like a mascot).
When the law went into effect, the newspapers reported that there were about ten muslim women currently wearing coverings in the whole country.
After years of covid where everyone would supposedly die in terror attacks if the face coverings happened I'm surprised this fear mongering still manages to pass.
Full face covering burqas are not really an Islamic thing. The headscarves are. The burqas are a cultural thing for some. And usually almost nobody actually wears them. But you can get brownie points with the racists for passing these laws and show that your country is well on the way to moral decline.
Gotta make sure you don't compromise that facial recognition
Apparently measuring a person's natural walking gait is far more effective at identifying people. Who knew Monty Python had it right, so long ago.

YES!
It's important how much clothing you wear. Not too much and not too little. It MUST BE the RIGHT amount.
Humans.
I hate this. What if I wanna cover my face to evade facial detection? That's illegal now?
no dont worry, its only the brown people face coverings that are bad

What if I'm cold or want to go skiing? I could wrap a scarf over my face which I have done. Is that not illegal because it's not the same garment?
What about COVID? Wouldn't masks conflict with that also? Of all countries I'd never imagine one with a colder climate to make such a law.
There are exceptions for sport and health&safety. You can do all of these things.

I can understand the reasoning for government officials and kids at school, but what are they smoking to straight up ban it in their country?
The same thing islamist countries are smoking when they kill women not covering their head, probably.
i am glad that we are fighting these terrible regimes that enforce what women can and cannot wear by letting the regime enforce what women can and cannot wear

These do seem inconsistant. What about 95 masks? that covers the face and nose.
But not the eyes. Besides it's easy to include an exception for legitimate medical purposes - even considering the law was written by a bunch of quasi-fascists I would be surprised if that's not covered in the law, especially since the article mentions there are exceptions.

I can't even take half of you seriously. Every religion is a cult, but this one is an extremely misogynistic cult and you don't get anything for being their unpaid defenders online beyond the knowledge that you protected extreme womanizers.

I wonder if all the Muslims here saying "women should be dressing whatever they want", also protest the same in muslims countries where women are killed for not covering their hair.
Are you living under a rock? Haven't you seen the men protesting in Iran??

What's the official reason for that law?
The official reason is "in our culture we show each other our faces"
The real reason is "I'm racist and I hate muslims"
Source: am swiss. (I voted against this law.)

A country telling women what to wear will be on the same page in my book as the country telling women what not to wear.
I'd rather see swiss banks having to spill the beans about their many criminal enterprises and criminal customers. Tax evasion is a crime, for those unaware
Winter is gonna be fun, lol. Austria already implemented and rolled back a similar ban.
The article says there are exceptions, but doesn't provide any useful information unfortunately.
Don't worry. Its only for brown people.
Winter is gonna be fun, lol.
They'll have a list of exceptions that basically means anyone but muslims.
Austria already implemented and rolled back a similar ban.
It's still in force.
