I don't think that anyone'd deny that modesty is a virtue. There's something to be said for people being modest.

However - that leaves the question of what counts as modesty wide open. And I don't think that a burka really provides the best way to answer it...

I'll deny that modesty is a virtue.
1. Who sets the rules on virtues?
2. Repression is also a very bad thing.
