Ban the Burkini

[CapnAwesome]

Although I don't support any sort of government enforced dress code, I do wonder how many women really would be dressing in a burkini on a hot day on a beach without pressure from husband/family/community. 9/10 the poor woman's husband is just in swim trunks enjoying a hot day like a normal person. The burkini is another symbol of extreme Islamic sexism.

We wear clothing because of community/cultural norms and mores.

True enough, however I wonder how many women outside of Orthodox religious families (regardless of Islam, Christianity, or Judaism) risk physical violence or threats of hell for not conforming to those dress standards. I might wear a north face shirt because all my friends do, but nobody is going to hit me or call me a whore if I choose to dress differently.
