No woman, anywhere in the world, should ever be required to wear any of these. Humans should be respected to make their own personal choices.
Sure, but many women choose to wear these and that’s fine if that’s what they want to do.
It's also worn out of fear. People falsly believe it protects you from sexual assault.

Clothing fit for making a clear statement they are not on the same level as men. Is this compatible with modern society, inherent human needs and equality?
Easy answer, yes if they are doing it of their own free will with informed consent. People can wear whatever they want.
Hard question, does heavy cultural pressure and implied threats of violence impact your ability to ever truly give informed consent?
Exactly. Although it does get a little dicey when you factor in cultural conditioning. Some women are devout by choice—but if they grew up in the religion it’s impossible to determine if that devoutness is a truly held belief or if they’ve been essentially brainwashed. I don’t mean to say there’s some insidious plot of brainwashing, but there’s really no other way to describe deep, long term conditioning from a dominant in-group.
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug.
This is probably just cause I’m on NCD too much but does the last one kinda look like a stealth fighter?
I am torn between stealth fighter and payload tbh.
It looks cozy
Yup, and with barely any radar cross section either
Crazy how many completely different names there are for different kinds of clothing that's sooooo close to each other.
How many different kinds of hats with entirely different names do you own? I have a sun hat, a toque, a helmet, a rain cap, one of those ones with flaps that I don't know the name of but probably has one, and I'm sure half of you own a fedora and a trilby.
I see your point and I think the hats are a better example than the trousers comment below. Especially when it comes to traditional clothing, there's a ton of different, very specialized hats with special names and for a 3rd person might be all just 'hats'. Thanks for the analogy. :)
Islamic world is what - 40 countries? 50? Im not suprised at all. How many different words can be used to describe pants just in Europe alone?
Pants Knickers Slacks Trousers Bloomers Briefs Britches Pantaloons
And thats just English synonyms, how many languages are in Europe? There are easily 100 words in Europe for the cloth tubes you stick your legs in.
Pants, Knickers, Slacks, Trousers, Bloomers, Briefs, Britches, Pantaloons
Aren't these just synonyms for the more or less same thing and not different concepts that just (almost) look alike? The pure existence of this guide implies that the nuances between these kinds of clothing are so important that you should be able to differentiate them. And Hijab and Shayla seem to me almost identical. The cloth is placed slightly different but that might have happened also by the wind or so.
There could be very specific nuances to each synonym for pants as well, and we could debate what exactly the difference is between briefs and slacks. Jeans is a good example of this, its the exact same style of clothing as other pants, its just made with a very specific textile. If you saw a photo of bleached jeans and white pants, you would have the same complaints that you have with OPs photo, you couldnt tell the difference.
OK, that's a valid point that I agree to. But then this guide is not a 'cool guide' because it doesn't give me a clue on what's the relevant differentiator between the different things. If it's properties like textile, color etc. and not just the cut, then there should be some kind of indicator, explanatory remark or visualisation of that.
Can men wear these? I want to scare my kids and these would be perfect
I like the one resembling a Christmas tree.

is there one word I can learn that describes all of these because honestly that's too much to remember
It's almost definitely cultural, but putting all the head coverings under the generic umbrella of Hijab is what I've seen.
Honestly outside of protection from the sun they all look extremely uncomfortable/constraining. Especially the burka.
This clothing's function is not to protect against the sun but to protect women against men without socialization, rape, comparison and property protection (that means exactly what is it, the women are property of their men and mostly law- and powerless). It is a social instrument of oppression and property and modern social slavery.
Never heard of a Chador, looks cozy.
This drawing kind of makes a Burka look crazy, like she's blindfolded.
Its a mesh over the eyes iirc like very shear fabric.
Honestly, my first thought when seeing the chador was this character from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess…
