In reply to the discussion: What is your stance on burkinis or headscarves on French (or American) beaches (or streets)? [View all]AllTooEasy
(1,261 posts)If they want to come to a beach nude...cool. Burkina? Ok. I'll glare at whatever you're willing show me. If you cover up, I'll glare at a less modest female. Easy.
As for the bullshit "Their forced by their families" argument that's rooted in Western ignorance and over generalizations, stop assuming that everyone thinks like you. "They want to wear a bikini like me. I know it. How could anyone think differently than me unless they are oppressed?" Get over yourself!
I lived in Malaysia for two years. My wife and I met plenty of Muslim, Catholic, and Hindu women who couldn't imagine why Western women would show cleavage, mid drift, thighs, or even their beautiful hair to any man other than their current or future husband. They were seriously dumbfounded. I guess the French would find them too.
