If muslim burkinis are banned in French swimming pools, why can't hijabis just wear a wetsuit instead?

That... that's a good question. As I understand it, they're pretty much the same thing, at least in terms of body coverage. And I don't see Frange banning wetsuits, so perhaps they should.

PS- Come on, France. You're supposed to be the European country that GETS the importance of free religious expression. If we have to pick up the slack for you, too, we'll probably end up invading Greenland, or something equally stupid. If the idea of being that far from nudity bothers you so much, just mandate politicians all be naked or something. No one will bat an eye; you're France.

the only down side i can see is that they might overheat wearing a wetsuit esp if its an outside pool in the summer.

could they not just ware a pair of leggings and a rash vest? i am not sure that there is much difference beyond a play on words and what you call it.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

do you actually overheat in wetsuits if you are in the pool? I thought it's just the water temp?

[Markm3212]

@Zeldaismyqueen it depends on a few things, so yes you can over heat in a wetsuit in the wrong conditions as they are designed to keep you warm in cold water. so if you were in say an inside heated swimming pool, the water would enter the suit and warm up to your body temperature, but with exercise you would then warm up even more and you would not be able to loose the heat/sweat so thus warming up further.

Why should they? As islamic countries think they have right to force people in their country to do what their laws say, so does other countries have right to ban what they think is not good.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

that doesn't answer my question at all

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

I hope the women do and choke and die in the pool. France has too many of these filthy Muslim terrorists.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

you're a bigot

[Markm3212]

thats a bit much.

France should implement the mandatory burqa for all women in the country.

Hijabis made me chuckle
