Hafiza could be hot, too, it's hard to tell with the hijab. It's like Aunt Jemima - no one looked at her twice until they took that rag off her head. Now I'm always getting a Breakfast Boner.

The burka is actually a great gender equalizer. Who needs to be hot when their face is covered by a big grill and their body by a nice, flowing robe? Islamic dress frees women from societal pressure to wear make up, be 'beach body ready', and generally starve and suffer just to please a man. It allows women to live a life without being viewed as a sex object.
Hurray for Islamic egalitarianism, down with global patriarchy and its commodification of women's bodies!

Hate to say this, but I agree with that statement.

Given that your whole argument (as much as there can be said to have been one in the first place) rested on the assumption that women who wear hijabs, niqabs or burkas do so because they are compelled to, I think you'll find that the fact plenty wear them out of choice negates your argument entirely.
The burka is not a tool of male oppression, it is a vehicle for female liberation. Put on a burka and you'll never be able to spend 10 hours walking around downtown NYC with rapists whistling and shouting 'ay mami' at you, intimidating you at every street corner. You're free to reclaim your identity as a person, rather than as a sex object.

Hm don't wear bed sheet or risk alienation from family and culture? Some decision.

I often walk past women wearing similar garb, and amazingly I'm able to resist telling those bitches to go make me a sandwich. It's out there, I know.

My original point was that a burka is a good leveler because it eliminates treatment of women as if they are objects of sex, but thanks for once again putting words in my mouth.

Except that it doesn't. It actually reinforces a woman as an object of sex.
Do men wear those kinds of dress?
No. Only women wear them, and not even girls.
Only women into the age of child-bearing wear them, and it tells anyone looking at them that they're a women of such, and therefore should not be looked at. It's defining something by its shadow rather than its outline.
