Head scarf and muslim woman

It is very common that in many parts of the world woman are being used and paid for her services, Islam says woman is not a Slave of man and she has her own rights. A Muslim woman who wears Hijab or head scarf get oppressed or questioned, why is that a naked woman has the right to walk the streets but not a Muslim woman who wears the head scarf? Note that a Muslim women is not wearing the head scarf because her husband or family told to do so and it is not some cultural thing, but a Muslim women wears the head scarf to show her obedient to her creator, to be modest, she don’t want to go around tempting men, she don’t want to be judged by her physical appearance, she is saying see what is inside of me not what is outside, for Instance when most men are looking at woman from toe to head, they are not really looking at her, they are looking at something else and they also wants Something else, not what the woman wants but most woman think when they dress naked and when men look at them that she is beautiful, but this is Not the case. Islam says the real beauty is inside of her, obedience, modesty, good character, doing good deeds, caring and kindness, this is what makes her really beautiful. Of course a Muslim woman is allowed to take off her head scarf in front of her husband, kids and family members. A Muslim woman who wears head scarf is saying her physical beauty is only for her husband and that she is only his pearl, this applies for the men also, he is also ordered to be modest and chaste for her wife, and they don’t want to go around selling it to everyone. In the holy Quran God Almighty says: "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty..."
(Quran chapter 24 verse 30-31)
