Here is a little test that proves that Islamic veils are a form of patriarchal oppression on women, while bikinis aren't: If men didn't exist, would women wear burqas at the beach or when swimming? Is the burqa practical in the situations where a bikini is generally worn? Because, I reckon that if men didn't exist, women wouldn't be wearing veils on the beach or while swimming. They would be wearing very little, if anything, as clothes are not practical for these activities.
Here is a little test that proves that bikinis are a form of patriarchal oppression on women, while burqas aren't: If men didn't exist, would women wear bikinis in the Arctic or when it's snowing? Is the bikini practical in the situations where a burqa could be worn? Because, I reckon that if men didn't exist, women wouldn't be wearing bikinis on the Arctic circle or when it is snowing. They would be wearing a lot, if anything, as being naked is not practical for such activities.
Not interested in engaging with the OP anyway. Just read this because I came across PPF's post which imo was a well written.
