I reckon we have been made to be this way: compliant and accepting to an nth degree. So far gone now that nothing anyone does causes much more than a ripple of concern. Always shifting the blame. It is like a mental illness on a grandiose scale. And all I can do is watch and wait.
Still, without all this turmoil what would energise me? A positive amongst so much negative

I'm rapidly joining you ... I get annoyed at some women who let down other women because they conveniently forget they enjoy the benefit of Western women's equality and rights.

The French imposed this law not me. What she was wearing was close to the mark in relation to the ban, so she should not have gone to the beach dressed like it. However, she took her chances and did, and as such has to accept the consequences.
I'm shocked by your attitude
So if a nun or an orthodox Jewish man, or a Sikh guy with a turban wore bodily covers on that beach..
Would they be deemed 'close to the mark'?

ASTERISKS.
The use of them is banned because they are naughty and might upset people.
So...if you think it's bullshit then say so and don't fanny around posting B******* which is considered offensive, see?
Not here...over there!

How do Sikhs go swimming? Do they wear some sort of waterproof cover over their turbines? Serious question, actually.

I've said my bit, twist it and turn it how you like to suit.
I've already said I'm on the fence with this and don't necessarily think it was a good move.

Bit sad but never mind.
It's a bit like telling a kid not to go too close to the barbecue ... and you'd probably tell him it would be because he's ruin his nice clothes. .. instead of telling him he'd get burnt.
Sometimes you have to look beyond the obvious and look down the road a little.

They don't, they're exempt.
Strange but true.
