"How dare muslims tell women what to wear, we want to be the ones who tell them what to wear."

Pretty much my thoughts. Who the hell is gate keeping a public beach? Europeans are whacked out. Banning burkinis was beyond moronic, and now this?

I don't think this is about "Europeans" so much as it's about ignorance.

Europeans actually working in the space of migrant women's human rights have pointed out that mainstream society imposing restrictions on their clothes just makes it harder for them to participate in social spaces and be part of the wider society.
