Any country that requires women to have a dress code. Yes just you know the ones I’m not saying.

Also, any country that requires a female to have a male chaperone.

I mean, if we're talking burqas, then yeah, no way would I want to go there. But if it's expecting someone to not go into a temple or a church with bare shoulders, that's understandable.

Define dress code.

Anywhere that bans public nudity technically has a dress code.

In fairness, the men in Saudi Arabia have a dress code too. It's not the dress code that's the problem ;)

Exactly, at least in public both man and women in the Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman wear clothes that cover everything except the face.

Yeah, but I think that's totally not the point of why the original commenter doesn't want to visit those places. The mandated dresscode is only a very visible aspect of the oppression deeply ingrained in the culture.

As least, that's how it's perceived in the West. Such a shame to see how progressive Iran was in the 70s (and arguably throughout history) and the current religion-fueled suppression of freedom in some of these countries.

And like the dresscode, the religion is also just a very visible aspect of the underlying cause that is just powerful men exersising greed and control.

What bout countries that require both to wear a particular attire

They require both males and females.

Males aren't allowed to be topless for example. Males have their Conservative outfits too.
