Why does Jewish law make men more visibly Jewish than women?

I grew up a reconstructionist and wear a magen David necklace and feel like I’ve been reflecting on what it means to be visibly Jewish right now. I know women cover their hair with a sheitel but men have yarmulkes, circumcision, payot, and tzizit.

Edit: not talking about exclusively halachic law but Jewish culture as well
