Persuading my friend not to wear the Burkha.

So i was chatting to my friend about her wearing the Burkha, I personally disagree with the whole concept of the Burkha. This is why:

The notion that men cannot control their sexual urges and thus it is the responsibility of women to cover up to avoid being preyed upon is sexist, as it is parallel to the view women should cover up to avoid being raped and a failure to do so, accompanied by the rape of said women is sexist, misogynistic and has no place in a civilized society.

Now my other friend who was ironically a feminist, accused me of being an 'Islamophobe' whatever that means. Which was funny because the concept behind the burkha is completely contradictory to feminism, or at least, what I perceive feminism to be.
