It's dangerous to women because it negates a significant part of communication. It renders public expression by women invisible. A smile, a smirk, an eyebrow raise, a nose crinkle. These may sound small, but in fact most human communication is non-verbal. It removes a considerable part of female communication from society, and it renders that acceptable to daughters of women wearing niqab, and boys and men to think this is ok.

Face coverings are NOT just a piece of clothing.  Our faces are a major part of human communication and interaction. Face coverings are a barrier and silencing mechanism to women. You may find that dramatic, but these are not insignificant things.[/quote]

I understand that argument but I don't agree with it.  If a person voluntarily chooses not to go outside and instead only uses the phone or computer for communication, that may be unfortunate and not ideal but it still that person's right. No one is forced to show their face in modern society unless they want to fly on a plane or get a driver's license. I think it's our job as parents to educate boys (and why only boys, why not girls as well?) that although we may not agree with that person's choice to wear a covering, we live in a free society and it's his/her choice to do so.
