What is your stance on burkinis or headscarves on French (or American) beaches (or streets)?

[Calculating]

23. Burkas are oppression

The women have merely been conditioned to accept this oppression and consider it 'normal'. Think about it logically. Who in the hell would actually WANT to cover up in hot clothing out at the beach? What If you conditioned women to think it was wrong to get an education and do anything other than raise children for their husbands? They might be "happy" with their choices to drop out of school and raise babies, but it wouldn't make it any less oppressive.

Islam has historically been extremely oppressive towards women. Just look at nations like Saudi Arabia. It's actually an extremely sexist/misogynistic thought process. Comes from the belief that the beauty of a woman is inherently evil and drives men to sin. Therefor it's up to women to cover up and not tempt men. Of course it wouldn't be up to the men to simply have a little self control. It's just as bad as the "she must have wanted to get raped because she dressed like a slut" attitude. It's all linked back to the fundamental misogynistic belief that it's the duty of women to save men from temptation.
