But it's not how they dress that's the problem, it's the sectarianism and
triumphalism of the marchers which are the problem.  Similarly, the hijab
itself isn't the problem, it's theocracies which are the problem.  When
they force women into wearing hijab and brutalise them if they don't
conform, that's the problem which must be dealt with.
