It matters, due to the implications of how women are viewed and treated.
Based on Eve being deceived in the garden, there are already consequences for the function and position of women in the church. If women are such a seductive force that they can sexually corrupt angels from the distance of earth to heaven, then covering shoulders in meetings or a doily on the head are really rather feeble containment attempts - probably safest to go with a full body burka

I understand your concerns. Nonetheless it's worth considering what the writers & readers of the NT believed, before deciding how appropriate or even harmful such views might seem today.
Thanks for coming onboard. Your views are valuable. Here it's okay to have an opinion or point of view.
