I think in the States, and even in conservative areas, women do this for their own comfort: because people are taught to be ashamed of their bodies; because men stare inappropriately; because, as you say, they might be labeled; because they're afraid of being attacked.

It's probably usually for their own comfort, because our society is ill. The attacks don't always come from men, though; many women voted for Trump, which leads to your point.
