Control is control. Influence is influence. They are related, butbthey aren't the same. We are all subject to all kinds of influences, and people trying to influence us. That doesn't necessarily means we are being controlled,though it can add up to that.

I agree with those who have pointed out that coming in as an unamed GUEST is rather like wearing a veil. Not identical, but analogous. That doesn't mean it's a sign of subjugation. Well, it could be in some cases, but cases vary. Cases vary also when it comes to real veils.

Wearing dark glasses has a lot in common, in some ways, with wearing veils. They make it harder to read what the wearer is thinking, ansd that can be one reason for wearing them. But it can rather get in the wayn of communication, and I wouldn't blame anyone for politely requesting a wearer to take them off in some situations.

However wearing dark glasses is not generally seen as a mark of subjugation either.

Then of course there's the Lone Ranger and Zorro...
