In my mind they probably have less of a problem with relating to that than a lot of cultures have about relating to people in full clothing. To some Muslims, seeing a woman's whole head including her face and hair would be more of a problem. He associates that with men, children and his wife at home being open to having sex with him at any time, so it becomes a problem when he sees that in public and it's not even a relative. When some African tribesmen look at some or other woman's naked breasts they basically see nothing in particular.
