Are Muslims required to wear headgear?

The headscarve is a clothing used mainly by Muslim women as a form of protection from males looking at them and getting the wrong ideas, it stops men from attacking them or thinking of them sexually and it allows respect for women rather than discrimination (as women are not showing body parts for attention). The headscarve is not required for Muslim men because men are able to defend themselves physically. In Arab countries men wearing a headscarve is a cultural element, it originated from the desert conditions to stop sand (from sandstorms) getting in the eye.
