I asked a question recently about whether there were still pools that required women to wear one-piece swimsuits rather than bikinis.
I was very surprised that some people said "yes, it's a good idea, women should cover up, children shouldn't see women wearing bikinis".
What, in principle, is the difference between that and Islamic fundamentalists saying women should veil their faces?
Aren't both judgments just saying that the human body is something to be ashamed of?
(Regarding children seeing women in bikinis: God forbid that children should learn what the female body looks like. (Yes, that is sarcasm!))
