"Covering" doesn't to me indicate wrapping yourself from head to foot. The great majority of women of any faith (or none) don't flaunt their bodies, we cover by wearing normal modest clothes when we go out and about. I still believe those quotations can be (and are) interpreted to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the community in which the Muslim woman lives. That's MY interpretation, evidently just one of many!
No, my opinion doesn't matter in the wider scheme of things - but my many Muslim friends interpret these words that way, none of them cover completely, some wear Western clothes and a headscarf, some don't wear the headscarf except in the mosque. Their choice. Liberal Western menfolk are happy with it (says it all readlly, doesn't it?!)
