The equivalent for men is the qamis, however you don't see them using it. Just this tells everything you need to know about the abaya.

Bullshit. Abaya is a religious garment. The equivalent for men is the qamis, however you don't see muslim boys using it.
Typical reply from an islamist that never left the muslim country where he lives. Where were you crying when Turkey had the same law?
Abayas and qamis are religious garments. However only women were the abayas. Why don't the men wear the qamis? What a strange thing: In a mysogynist religion the woman are so religious that wear religious garments! Lol.
it is one with far greater complexity than can be solved with sledgehammer legislation
Yes it's better to not do anything. Because it might hurt the feelings of muslims...
even if some people do benefit, because many do not.
Even if 1 person benefits with the law then the law is worth it. Or do you think that the law needs to benefit everybody? The law needs to protect the most vunerable. In this case the muslim women.
Oh, we are doing quotes now? I prefer this one from an ex-muslim:
My school and my family became increasingly radicalised in the 2000s - 2010s and while I used to wear the headscarf, I never used to wear the abaya. At home, I was being reprimanded for wearing non-loose fitting clothes. At school, I was told by a Muslim girl to start wearing more modest clothes and think about the Hereafter. Everywhere in the Muslim community at my college, there was ´Islam’. There was this pressure to act like a pious Muslim. The Islamic society segregated girls and boys. One Friday sermon included the reminder for « sisters to stop distracting the brothers »! I saw a Muslim girl put on the headscarf. She came to the prayer room and eventually she started wearing the scarf. I think there was another girl I knew too who did the same.
Eventually, I started wearing the abaya alongside my headscarf. This lasted a week because I could not handle it anymore.
It is therefore not true to say that a Muslim woman wearing an abaya is cultural and about her freedom. What France is seeing is a radicalisation of Muslim youth. Girls coming to school in ´modest’ Islamic clothing will actively encourage other more moderate Muslim girls to do the same. Just like it happened to me.
Good! The rules are for everybody. Freedom from religion!
ahahahaha.
You definitely don't know what's an abaya, and it's purpose. But it's ok, you are an american. I don't expect much. They can dress baggy dresses. They can dress baggy pants and sweat-shirts. Do you know what they can't wear? religious attire.
Nice choice of words. using "Adhering" to white wash that they are forced to use it, Otherwise how do you explain that that only women wears abayas and the boys don't wear qamis? Do you think that women are more religious than men?
The law is the same for everybody. Jewish people, can't wear kippah, shtreimel and tallits. Go cry a river. And btw, they should assimilate. Not assimilating means living in ghettos, something that you as american should know about it (since there are a lot of them in US).
