So rather than not conforming by wearing a simple pair of jeans and t-shirt and no make-up (which is still very standard and can still be sexy), they'd rather go completely overboard and out of their way to be completely non-conformist by covering themselves head to toe? If that's the reason for the mode of dress, it seems like the wrong reason to celebrate a religion.

That'd be like me saying that, as a Catholic, I wear the cross around my neck because it's really slimming and sets off my eyes, and it's a welcome change from all the heathen bare-necked people of the world.

*A female who didn't hate all men due to a mindset of militant lesbianism, or a complete whack job (to which no modes of behavior can be assumed as real).
