"Women will continue to be barred from bathing topless at an indoor pool in the central Swedish town of Enköping following a decision by the town council’s recreation committee on Tuesday.

Prior to the decision, committee member Stefan Brandberg cited concerns about the health of young girls in his opposition to the proposed lifting of the ban.

“We believe that it can contribute to anorexia—there is a risk for that,” he said to the newspaper Expressen.

Monica Hällgren, chair of the Enköping recreation committee, confirmed that one of the central arguments for leaving the ban in place was concern over the potential for topless women bathing to create conditions which could lead to a spike in eating disorders."

Okay, I could understand if people were worried about modesty issues or possible increases in rape, but eating disorders? What kind of feminist garbage is this?

Be careful of what you wish for. Be very careful.

“This thread is worthless without pictures.”

No now, that could cause eating disorders.

What bulls**t. This is what you get when the fem-hags team up with the Muslim head choppers.

Given the headline I was thinking this was going to be a thread about nekid Swedish wimmin with bags of fresh cocaine.

Let me in there with my camera before the ban goes into effect.

Anorexia??? Women who bathe topless (at least the ones worth looking at) are not anorexic - anything but!!!

That's uh, quite a title.

[DainBramage]

I find myself not caring if women have eating disorders.....

[nmh]

“But we couldn’t think of any reason why someone would need to be topless at the indoor pool…it’s a place for families, after all.”

No, it's about EATING DISORDERS.

The heck with moral guidelines.

Milton Brothers sure did have any board game you’d ever want.

Heck, we were so poor, all we had was a shiny table and a playing card. We used the same straw for weeks at a time.

Heh...

No wonder their population is on the decline.

How do you know the thread is useless without pictures? What if the women in that town in Sweden all look like Bella Abzug and Bella Pelosi?

[Right Wing Assault]

What if the women in that town in Sweden all look like Bella Abzug and Bella Pelosi?

But we still need pics to find out. It is worth the risk.

[Publius]

Not Bella Abzug. No pictures. Please.
