I think about this topic a lot. It's a really tough situation. I'm not for banning the Burkini, I think France is out of line here.
Here's a really written article on the subject.
Quote:
But it’s 2016, and to assume a woman who covers up in public, whether on the beach or the grocery store, can’t possibly be doing so by choice removes her agency without any facts.
Even if we presume all women wearing burkinis are doing so by force (which would be absurd), bans on behaviour only further alienate the marginalized. Being told they don’t belong, especially in law, only makes people less likely to participate in society or reach out for help when they need it.
