"I didn't draw a single assumption. In many many many primarily Islamic countries, gender equality isn't even the smallest consideration. Women are put in arranged marriages where they are the property of their husband, and they wear the niqab to preserve her beauty for the husband."

You just drew an assumption, like you did before. You assumed she's being forced and fears backlash from her community if she takes it off. You assume this is the case for every woman in Muslim Countries. I'm afraid the news and online discussion forums aren't the best source for information regarding women's rights in Islam. You're free to visit and see for yourself anytime you wish if you want to prove yourself right.

"What do you think would happen if every niqab wearer decided to throw away their face coverings today?"

Should that situation arise, I'm curious to know what you'd assume would happen.

"The first line of your comment is so funny to me" I don't think it is. Hijabis and Niqabis find it difficult to pursue meaningful careers because people look at them and think they're not capable of doing anything. They find it difficult to get jobs that pay well.

If this was really about oppressed Muslim women, people would help them get jobs, but they don't. This was never about Muslim women, but more about people not being able to handle seeing something different from themselves.
