RE: Birkini Ban - How can a supposedly free country tell women they must wear less?

in #politics8 years ago

Yeah, so much for a free society.

I'm not Muslim, and I don't understand the need to have women wearing burkhas and hijabs and other coverings. At the same time, it's a violation of someone's right to privacy and freedom of religion to police religious garb like this. Using "fighting terrorism" as an excuse is particularly egregious. Also, it's just one more way that institutionalized powers are exercising control over women and their appearance.

Sort:  

so, in fact, France now has religious police keeping the women in line

Lol. I didn't think of it that way.
