Well its a funny old world and then things Just get silly now and then.

Is the burkini ban a move in the wrong direction or should we embrace
Government assured perving on public beaches uh oh / grin .

Maybe ugly women should be made wear burkinis on the strand.
if you agree,
how would you define ugly ?

If they made this illegal, that would set a dangerous precedent.
Will prevents skin cancer so maybe a good thing.
I find it a most disturbing development
While I'm 100% for a secular state, this burkini madness has eff all to do with religion or being oppression for women.
The ban is oppressive
I find burqas incompatible with our western society but telling women what they can wear? wtf!
My friend I was reading that and what a concept, banning them wearing what's appropriate for their political expression, oops we should say religious practices.

The truth is there's a bigger agenda behind that, me thinks.frustrated
Free,
as ridiculous as it is it should still be an option, No ?

Like wearing crocks. barf
Don't know from what year this was taken.

Dieci cheers
Cc, we have short selective memories thumbs up thumbs up
rockingchair,
Agreed wine
Very sinister turn of events.
Non, it's 6 yards of cloth and water. be practical. who wants to drag around 50lbs of wet fabric while playing at the beach?
ekself,
A very valid point, with the worry of skin cancer surly these things should be promoted by the W.H.O wave
why not blindfold the men? wouldn't that be simpler and more effective?

metamorphic,
How very true,
at the heart of the matter is the fact that this is a ban on opinion and freedom.

"Non, it's 6 yards of cloth and water. be practical. who wants to drag around 50lbs of wet fabric while playing at the beach?"


I thought the goth and emo community's would welcome such a cover up from the suns rays wink laugh

PS you can blindfold me any time cool
lindsyjones,

I fully agree that this is leading somewhere else, a sign of the times perhaps.. hug bouquet
Non, for some, if there is a choice, the preferred choice might be chosen. if there is no choice, that leaves rebellion
and, sure, i've got a blindfold for you.
notadoctor,

thumbs up Well said !
again, Non, must be practical. if you live in Florida, it's practical to wear minimal clothes. if you live in cooler climate, a man's view is limited by coats and trousers, unless the location is a popular corner
non I remember while little when my mother walked out of the house with her long think housecoat and slippers and two neighborhood women had made a comment about how my mother was dressed.


I guess they didn't realize on how good my mother's hearing was.She had taken one look at both of them and said "She bet them that she had more clothing on then some women have on at the beach. laugh
On the health aspect mentioned earlier, for years now doctors have been warning Asian women that they risk death from lack of sunlight to the skin, it may work near the equator but is ridiculous in Europe, however as they're seen as nothing more that goods by men of certain ethnic origins nothing will be done to protect these women.
KN, live and let live has European roots too.
I think they are dreadful things, as I do any other clothes which represent subjugation of women.

However, I am totally against the ban.

These burkinis are not a security threat to anybody. The faces are totally uncovered. Therefore by banning them, these women are being targeted twice.

Once by being forced by their culture to wear clothes to cover their entire bodies, and secondly, by being not allowed by secular society to wear them.

The only victim here yet again is the woman.
I'm German and we always had a lot of people from all backgrounds. If someone wants to come to Europe, they have to accept the European culture - as everyone has to accept a Muslim culture when going working in the Middle East.

They can live here but have to accept the European culture.
KN, that is very noble of you to extend them this courtesy.
Strangely enough this courtesy isn't extended in most Muslim countries. roll eyes
So two wrongs show them how to be right? confused
People should integrate into the culture where they choose to live - I'm living in a different country than my home country myself. I'm made an effort to integrate, speak the language, have a job and pay taxes. I also choose a country where I don't have any problems with the culture.

I went to school with lots of girls from all backgrounds and it wasn't a problem as all of them were integrated, spoke the language and mixed with everyone.

The problem starts when people don't want to integrate.
KN, I do not disagree with your last comment. It's complicated IMO. But forcing women to take off their burkinis goes against one of our most important and cherished beliefs.

I think NotaDoc summed it up quite well here.
But unfortunately Molly, we do not get to set our value. The market determines value. wink wink
I did my leaving in the only girls school in town. We had a huge percentage of girls with backgrounds from different cultures, religions, etc. It wasn't a problem, we all were one crew, there wasn't a group of girls that stuck to themselves and didn't mingle.

Also when I started working the place I worked had a mixed workforce and again no problems there.

Looking around now, this seems to change - and that is where more and more problems starts. If people choose to come to life in Europe, they have to integrate - this incl. language as well as customs.
On the market value - I know my value and there aren't too many men that meet my standards. wine
Only 20? geez you dont last very long.
the truth doesn't care about our feelings sigh
The French Govt have rescinded the rule about wearing burkinis on the beach. The photos shown in the press of the police on the beach in France has been proven to be a fit up.
Serene you make me laugh. It's not like a forced way of clothing you see. The nuns are not on the beach with their costumes, are they?

The truth is they wear their clothes as a representation of their political affiliations as much as supposedly religious costumes.

Anyways other than that, we in the west wear clothes for comfort and style.

The post is political correct of incorrectness.
Although there are many valid comments on the blog for both sides, Im still of the persuasion that its just as bad to tell them what not to wear as much as it is to tell them they have to.
