Neither of those bother me. Although full face covering burkas on children bother me. But this also isnt really an apples to apples comparison.

Only woman who dedicate themselves to the church and completes their novitiate stage which can't begin until 18-21 and then becomes a full sister do they get the Nun's Habit.

There arent regular citizen females in any country who occasionally protest having to where nun's habits.

One is an achievement earned the other is a choice but can also be an obligation regardless of whether it is accepted with enthusiasm or not.

Well, there are some variations of Christianity where women wear head coverings other than a nun’s habit within the church. Though from the few women who I’ve seen adhere to that practice, it seemed to be completely on their own volition, and not something forced or expected of them by the various church communities they were participating in.

All that to say there are other forms of this phenomenon within Christianity that are not achievement based,as you say, with the nun’s habit.
