This is just plain out of curiosity, I don't mean any offense, so I hope I don't upset anyone:
I must say I don't really understand the reason a woman should wear a kipa, talit, or tzistizit. I suppose it is to make people realize that women are equal to men? These women who do wear kipot do they also do the things required of women? Family purity laws for example... or do they just take on what men do?
People always notice and mention to me how "women are seperated from men in shul" yet who says the women are anymore seperated than the men? Maybe the men are seperated from the women? In any case if wearing tzistziit etc is to show that women are equal to men what good is it? Isn't it G-d's rule so how can one disprove what G-d has decided? And if it is to prove to men then what good is following a religion that a man has made?
Is a wig or a scarf considered opressive? Why not wear a woman's hat? In any case if kipot are ok why don't women shave off their hair and only leave the sides long (lange payes)? Men also do that...

Just my thoughts, again I don't mean any offence.
