Too many factors for this one. But I would chalk this one up to primarily the high level of sexual repression, as in keeping everyone from having sex, and reducing all forms of sexual expression. Note that someone noticed that sex crimes (somewhere in the US was it?) went down the more porn there was.
A sexually repressed way of life such as that will evolve various devices to help maintain it and IMO the burqa would have been one of those devices. in that context it does work because without it, the rape situation might actually be worse. The problem IMO is the level of repression of sex and expression in general. It's not necessarily a misogynistic issue as one were everyone is repressed.
You repress something ... expect explosions.
