RE: Birkini Ban - How can a supposedly free country tell women they must wear less?
I bet that string buried between the buttocks is as uncomfortable as the burkini

I think they designed the burkini so that it was thin and a lot more comfortable than a wetsuit.
In Australia, where skin cancer rates are through the roof because of the hole in the ozone layer above them, lots of non-muslims are wearing them as sun protection. Of course the burkini was invented by an Aussie in 2004, it has nothing to do with Arabia at all. More like helping muslims adapt to the aussie culture of swimming.
Cool. I also never thought about the skin protection. I also wonder if wetsuits are now banned in France?
Dunno. Lots of men swim with T-shirts on to hide their man boobs. People have body issue problems, and I'm sure that is the real reason so many of those ladies wear burkinis - the religion is really being used as an excuse not to display cellulite, while their non-muslim counterparts buy various creams designed to solve the problem and then self-conscious wear sarongs etc to hide it on the beach.
I've seen that trick being used!
@aenor, it's the same thing in the Philippines, many Filipinas want to have a lighter skin so they wear jogging pants , shirt or a long sleeved top to swim cause it's too expensive to get bleached just to be sun burnt again . A lot of actresses do this there . It's a normal thing there.
That's sad though. You see that in India and Pakistan too. People want lighter skin. In the West people want a tan and risk skin cancer to get it. Nobody wants what they have.
@thecryptofiend true sad - like what some anonymous guy's poem "man is a fool - when it's hot they want it cold and when it's cold they want it hot - always wanting what is not ." there's a reason behind that - Asians and some other people associate being dark to being poor. Some Orientals who have yellow skin wear sunblock and definitely don't want themselves to get dark skin when out in the sun. I got a dark skin - they call me morena or tan - in my experience - it has always worked for my favor. I love it and not planning to get poisened by getting bleached.
@englishtchrivy Well said!
Lol yes:)
