I'll take skin-bearing licentiousness over Taliban oppression any day.

What do you gain by posing this false dichotomy? We all know it's false, and that even in the Islamic world, most of the people of all periods have worn more clothes than are commonly covering the women in my Walmart or the girls in the local middle school, and less than those prescribed by today's extreme Islamists.

If you are expressing a preference for tiny shorts and cut-off tank tops over all other options - slacks and a crew-neck t-shirt, for example - why do you not do so openly, rather than proposing and then attacking rules for which nobody on the thread or in the article has expressed support?

We do understand that a great many males like to look at women dressed in few or no clothes, and that they often spend money, sometimes large amounts, to enjoy this activity.

The dichotomy isn't false. It merely represents two extremes on a continuum.

I am expressing no such preference. This thread isn't about my preferences in dress. It is about the preferences of some women and their rights to indulge those preferences, even over the objections of others.

I'm not sure who "we" is, but your observation is true, if patently obvious and not particularly germane.
