Not sure why you're trying so hard to defend the marginalization of women in this fashion--it's not winning me over, sorry.
And "lots of nuns" have been mustered OUT of their orders because the money spent on them is needed to pay for the sins of pedophile police. Further "lots of nuns" do NOT wear those foolish, anachronistic costumes because they are ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable to wear. In fact, "lots of nuns" who used to wear the "penguin costumes" now look more like THIS:
from an unrelated article about the decline of women choosing to enter that particular vocation: http://www.getreligion.org/getreligion/2011/03/fewer-children-then-fewer-nuns
I can't help but notice that you avoided responding to the difficult concept that nuns--unlike women who are trapped in a life of hijab wearing because their culture and male relatives demand it--can leave their orders and their "costumes" behind without fearing that Pope Francis will come after them and kill them for their shameless immodesty.
