I can certainly understand why they want to throw caution, and those nasty burqas, to the winds. In 1985, I took several American Girl Scouts to an encampment in Singapore and there were several conservative Muslim girls there. It was Ramadan and they couldn't eat during the day, no matter how active we got. Not only that, but they were covered up in black in that heat and some nurses who worked with the Muslims there said that the girls and women were always getting revolting skin and scalp infections because those parts of their bodies were never exposed to the sun, never got a chance to dry out.

Can you imagine the exquisite freedom of having the wind run through your hair after years of coverage?
