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?
I get wanting to defend the rights of women under oppressive religions and governments
No, you dont get it.
This law isn’t exclusive to women, it applies to men too
I just hate these hijab wearing men that I see all the time.
Hijabs are still legal

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.
Put a pebble in my shoe, gottit.

YES!
It’s important how much clothing you wear. Not too much and not too little. It MUST BE the RIGHT amount.
Humans.
Personally we need to ban underwear and socks
As far as I know socks are banned already in the case they’re white.
Only if you wear sandals.

You forgot sexism, but I guess you are a man and that doesn’t affect you.

so, it will certainly help solve a problem our society faces today.

Making women have to cover themselves to be pure is sexist AF, especially because muslim men can dress whatever they want. The whole philosophy that socializes women to willingly do this to themselves is the problem, and a problem that is enforced by muslim religion.
“no, you are the sexist for not letting us make women dress how we want”. What a joke.

Maybe you are being downvoted because you are not adding anything to the conversation either? What does that suppose to mean?
deleted by creator
I haven’t even made made any sort or argument for or against yet and am still downvoted
“I haven’t actually said anything and my post has no value”
Sounds like downvotes are working as intended.

Once again, seeing as OP hasn’t replied to you, there is no reason not to sort this to the bottom/hide it as there’s no value here to anyone else reading the comments.
This is easily avoided by simply saying “If you live in Europe, {Argument for people living in Europe}. If you don’t live in Europe, {Argument for people not living in Europe}” As both groups of people will be reading your comment.

I hate this. What if I wanna cover my face to evade facial detection? That’s illegal now?
Nope, wear a surgical mask.
That’s not good enough with current facial detection tech…
Add sunglasses?
https://www.datasciencecentral.com/sunglasses-and-face-mask-wont-fool-facial-recognition/
“More recent studies have developed CNN-based systems that can correctly identify who is behind the sunglasses, scarf, or facemask, with up to almost 99% sensitivity”
Well, that sucks
Jup 🙃
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.
Does getting spanked by my husband if I don’t cover my face count as a health and safety concern?
Depends on the safe word
It counts as a crime against your physical integrity and dignity and you should report him to the police
Not sure where you’re getting your masks from but mine sure aren’t covering my whole face.
Can see the argument for skiing masks and shit though
Austria has a similar law. And a website that connects the local whether report with the rules for when wearing a scarf is okay.
So I have to look at the internet to see if I’m allowed to protect myself from the cold? Oh not officially cold enough even though it’s making my face hurt, guess I’ll just suffer because God forbid I’m allowed to be the one who decides how much of my body I went exposed to the elements.
You like authoritarian control of the most basic parts of people’s lives, most people don’t want to live in a world like that.
Exactly
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
high five gang
Ah, yes, let’s allow women to be forced to cover all of their bodies, that’s the right step
/s

I’m sorry, why is the ability of choice, an inclusion of force to you?
Don’t u see the 3 “shades”?
-Force women to wear smt -Let women choose what to wear -Force women not to wear something
I know the problem is that you don’t wanna sre it, but hopefully somebody sees this before going the wrong path.
Ok let’s look at your alternative.
What do you ACTUALLY think women who are being forced by their families or communities to wear the veil are going to do with this kind of ban in place?
If you guessed anything other than “become a domestic prisoner”, you’re wrong and have no place spouting off about this shit.
This is the hostile architecture of multicultural feminism. You’re not helping shit, you’re just pushing the problem into the corners where it isn’t going to be seen by anyone who could raise the issue.
Sounds like we need to ban smoking
Never go full Trump.
This gave me a good laugh
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.
Seems like this is the initiative they passed.
The English language selection in the top right doesn’t seem to work but (3) states:The law provides for exceptions. These include exclusively reasons of health, safety, climatic conditions and local customs.
It’s a bit vague but they seem to have thought of it.
What I find curious is that this seems to be no mere law but a change to the constitution.

That’s how the Swiss do it: Change the constitution via referendum, let the government figure out the details which it has to because it’s bound to the constitution.
Do those other things cover the eyes? How do they see? Isn’t something that covers the eyes essentially a blind fold. This makes em wonder further. I have never been to switzerland but I am under the impression it can be cold. I am from a place where it is cold. In extreme cold I have scarf, baclava, etc combined with goggles. Is that not allowed? Is skiing at all popular there??? (yeah that last one is a bit satirical rhetorical)
I translated the law on Deepl (emphasis mine):
Art. 10a Prohibition of covering one’s own face
1 No person may cover his or her face in public places and in places that are accessible to the public or where services that can be used by anyone are offered; this prohibition does not apply to places of worship.
2 No one may force a person to cover his or her face on account of his or her gender.
3 The law shall provide for exceptions. These include exclusively reasons of health, safety, climatic conditions and local customs.
Art. 197 para. 122 12 Transitional provision to Art. 10a (prohibition of covering one’s own face)
The implementing legislation for Article 10a shall be drafted within two years of its adoption by the people and the cantons.
1 SR 101 2 The final number of this transitional provision will be determined by the Chancellor’s Office after the referendum.
ok. its sounding more reasonable.
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.)
Are you Muslim or just dense?
It’s called freedom. I don’t like the custom and I’m not religious but forbidding others from practicing theirs isn’t OK.
This is the work of right-wing conservatives making empty gestures to “protect traditional Christian families” instead of doing something useful. But fearmongering gets them easy votes and with an aging population, even easier to scare old grandma and grandpa with “Muslim invaders”.
Who?
Swiss People’s Party. But as a direct democracy, it means they’ve convinced/scared enough old folks to vote in favor of this, and the rest of us have to accept it.
The problem with this one in particular is that there was an unholy alliance between some misguided women’s rights activists and the racists
That must be an odd match.
I understand the woman’s right angle of it but I doubt its effectiveness. Religious patriarchs are just going to keep these women from going outside.
I meant who asked
Literally you.
Literally you.

I am Muslim and I am for the application of the punishment dictated by Sharia law for when a woman does not cover her hair:
(punishment)
None! There is no punishment.
“But Iran is the best Muslim country implementing Islam to the letter!”
Nope. It’s not. Their sect is hardly even considered Muslim by the Muslim majority.
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??
I haven’t actually, do you have reliable sources on that?
A lot of these photos are from west europe.
but presumably you do see the severeral photos of protestors, including men, in the capital of iran regardless of what other pictures might also be on the page
Is this sarcasm?
The majority of people killed during the Iranian protests were men.
That said it is possible that the original commenter was being sarcastic.
Logic is the difference.
Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan claim Sharia law is what they rule based on. You go to these countries you expect that to be the factor of what you can and cannot do.
Other countries? They say they are democratic and they claim freedom of choice, however, they decide to restrict something like face covering for no apparent reason. And that’s the problem.
The logic also doesn’t makes sense as it is not clear when and where people can and cannot ware face covering. The niqab is just a piece of cloth. Are we banning people from wearing masks and big massive sunglasses? Are we banning people from wearing a head scarf ?
Would a female waring a black face makeup and fake hair would be fined ? What about Clowns ?
What exactly the point if it doesn’t affect other people?
For me all i see is that men deciding on e again what a woman should or shouldn’t ware and in fact this makes it worse than a religion based countries who at least are not hiding their intentions.
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.
wear a face mask all the time then… cough cough COVID
Yea how can you ban face coverings in the covid times lol
