It would make sense just to have the legal restriction on women being forced to wear it.  There are Muslim women who choose to wear a burqa or niqab, because they were raised to believe that it's the proper sort of thing to wear, when around male non-relatives.

What's next?  Muslims will have to wear a crescent patch on their clothing?

Western culture has plenty of things that are misogynistic in nature, that women are raised to accept and not view as misogynistic.  If we're going to legislate to force equality of the sexes, we might as well ban women from taking their partner's past name, or ban strip clubs and censor much of the pop culture garbage that is on television.
