When I think about women wearing kippot, I think about the (to me) barbaric issue of women shaving their heads after marriage and wearing wigs. If we can separate the idea of having something on your head as a sign of being a religious Jew (not that I personally wear a kippah, myself), then maybe we can separately attack the (to me) misogyny of shaving women's heads after marriage, and then the wearing of wigs as kippah-equivalents.
