Western women who visit Muslim countries are made to cover their female bodies and hair while in public.
When in Rome, do as the Romans.
I also find it odd that you'll see women wearing attire that completely covers their "tempting" female bodies while they're accompanied by men who wear whatever the hell they want.
Nah, I'm good with banning burqa swimsuits.
So...because as women we would be unfairly subjugated and censored if we were to visit Muslim countries, we should turn around and treat Muslim women the same way here? Is that what you're saying? I find that a rather juvenile position to hold, personally...[emoji53]
Perhaps as sovereign states, France as has as much right to, and as long a hallowed tradition of, hypocrisy as fundamentalist Muslim states have rights to and tradition of oppression.
