I never understood why it was banned. In fact, some people definitely need to show less of themselves at the beach. Banning Muslims I get, but not specific styles of swimming attire. It looks better than those “swimsuits” the Olympic divers wore that were so low they had to shave their pubic areas in order to wear them.
The fear is that the burkini is the first step towards eventually forcing all women to cover up at the beach, in order not to “offend” muslims. Given the history of the muslims’ history of trying to take over the customs of the areas they migrate to, I don’t think this is an unrealistic fear. Let them assimilate. If they don’t want to dress like a regular European beachgoer, then let them go somewhere else.
Did you object to the male divers’ outfits? Shouldn’t men be forbidden from going shirtless? Why are people so determined to cover women up but allow men to wear whatever they want?
Double standards is one thing that I do not tolerate.
