I’ll be a minority of one here. There’s nothing wrong with a woman wearing a burkini. It’s a fashion choice, and actually for beach activities a better one than many extreme bikinis that don’t cover much.
actually i would swim in public if i could be covered up.
Haven’t been to the beach in years.
Fair enough.
But one could argue there’s nothing wrong with going to the beach totally nude. But most coastal areas (and cultural norms) will not allow it.
Is this not the same thing?
No, you are not alone. I can't quite understand what the problem is, either. In fact, women in America used to dress in beach outfits which covered much like it just a hundred or so years ago. Yes, I know we have long since moved beyond such restrictive outfits, but I'm not so sure what one sees at the beach these days is a great deal of an improvement as it goes to the opposite extreme.
It really ought be a matter of individual choice but at ground the controversy derives from a given society's perception of the female form, a lovely thing indeed, and how it ought be draped.

What about male modesty? Do you have a problem with men going shirtless at the beach? If not, why? Why are people so obsessed with female modesty but not male modesty?
Personally, I wouldn’t be caught dead in those hot, ugly, dehumanizing garbage bags. Why go to the beach if you want to cover every inch of your body?
