Yasoooo, a couple of Scriptures for Christians to keep in mind were mentioned.
(Matthew 5:27, 28) “You heard that it was said: ‘You must not commit adultery.’  But I say to you that everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

(1 Timothy 2:9, 10) Likewise, the women should adorn themselves in appropriate dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive clothing,  but in the way that is proper for women professing devotion to God, namely, through good works.

These however, fall a long way short of prescribing a Hijaab for general apparel. Nor does the other Scripture mentioned.

(1 Corinthians 11:4-6) Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head;  but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head.  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.

This is speaking of the arrangement if a woman was to offer a public prayer. This would only happen if there was not a dedicated baptized male available to lead in prayer. Again it is not saying a head covering is required of a woman under other circumstances. However, modesty in dress and grooming is to be commended in both men and women.

The difference between dress requirements between Muslim and Christian women comes down to the actual detail of the dress requirements. The intent is exactly the same.
The intent is to prevent men who can't control themselves lose control of these sexual urges.
It boils down to putting the onus on women for men not being able to control their sexual urges.
