A French city approved burkinis in its pools. Then the backlash came

I understand banning of the burqa for security reasons, just like you can't enter a shop in France wearing a bike helmet.  I also understand that for the French lifestyle the burqa is generally a tad extreme.

Now we all have to wear face masks, I think that excuse has gone out the window.

What! Are you saying western women only wear the clothes they do because they are forced to by western men? Unless you are talking about clothes designers, which are both men and women, so I don't see your point.

I didn't say they were forced. Here's what I wrote:

But in the same way - Western women have been adjusting their looks and outfits to what was pushed to them by Western men.

 

and that was in reply to a post saying Muslim women dress as they do because they were indoctrined by Muslim religion/men

Face mask requirement in public was lifted last month.  It's not apples to apples anyway because that rule was to protect people from COVID, not related to social integration.

Explain how they are pushed.

These 2 pictures are from Afghanistan.   One is from a time when the women there were actually allowed to choose, the other is from more recent times now that men are making the choice for them.

Who has been creating fashions for most of the past few hundreds years? Who has been creating ads all those years? Who displayed what a desirable woman should look like?

They are not "forcing" you or anybody else to wear anything. They are wearing what THEY want. What you are doing is forcing your dress requirements on them.

 

Freedom of religion includes freedom to dress how they want. How does it hurt you that they dress in a particular way?

I would agree with you should the countries they are coming from accept my wife wearing a bikini on their beaches..... By the way, I think you never visited France recently....... Maybe the current situation of emigration in this country would make you think slightly differently...

But the same people don't make the connection between anti muslim extremism and wearing of crucifixes. I'm not saying there is a connection, merely pointing to the absurdity of the of the connection. Any excuse to justify bigotry.

Touche' ???? It's interesting to note the selective chronology of Christian nations don't you think? The numbers killed displaced terrorised and traumatised in the name of Christian 'religious' values is considerable throughout the history of man.

It wouldn't and I think you mean immigration.

This is allowing misogynists to hide behind religion in order to treat females as lesser beings to the men.

I'm not sure men thinking women need their behaviour modified/restricted = hating women.

Let's face it 'free range' women soon turn into single moms.

Muslim women in France are under no such repression and so if they choose to wear Hijabs, etc they are obviously doing it of their own volition.

Correct.
 

Well done that town council.

 

There is absolutely no reason to ban burkinis

 

If people wish to wear them, then so be it. 

Well let a trans gendered none Muslim man try to wear one in public and see if the Muslims are happy about other people / races / religions wearing them. ????

When I lived in Pakistan long time ago, I did not like local women to enter the swimming pool "fully dressed" without taking first a long shower : indeed those dresses can contain a lot of pollution

Have you asked all sane women in this world?

 

Some time ago I knew a pretty young woman who visited Morocco. While she was there she covered herself according to the local rules. And she liked it.

She told me she though it was comfortable that she could walk around without anybody staring at her.

And she was used to those stares from the western world. 

Why not leave it up to the women how they want to dress?

I would have no problem with transgender woman or transgender man for that matter wearing a burkini in public...
