(62,325 posts)Some countries DO ban any sight of a woman's body because they do not want to tempt men. Should women have to cater to men like that in your opinion? I see women in bathing suits all the time and I have yet to see men falling all over themselves and unable to function at the beach because of it.
If a woman fears that she will tempt men by wearing a bathing suit she is free not to wear one, but she is not free, at least here in the US to tell other women what choices they should make.
I am far, far more concerned about women who wear the uniform of the US Army who are being assaulted and raped regardless of the fact that they are not generally wearing bathing suits. I would like to know why this abuse of women is so prevalent in the armed forces. But I rarely see much concern for that here, certainly no 500 comment threads. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
