Sunblock is the answer, not oppressing women. But in a way it's good that muslim women have to wear full body covering at beaches, it will discourage them from going to the beach in the heat and I don't really wan to see them anyway.
Tamar needs to move to the PNW where we have indoor heated lap pools and very little sun. : )
I hate the feel of sunblock, it icky, sticky and comes off pretty quickly and you have to reapply it all the time.
Just because a woman doesn't wear a bikini to the beach or show off her belly button at the grocery store doesn't automatically means she's oppressed.
I think women who flaunt their sexuality by wearing next to nothing are just as oppressed or even more so than women who chose to dress modestly.
