I mean, you might very well be talking about name-callers and women beaters, but are you planning to change that with your western regressive liberal "no burkinis, Muslim! that's a representation of all your oppressive views!"
It's just so interesting to me the way people compartmentalise their politics. Restricting the right to criticise a culture? Regressive liberal. Restricting the right for members of a culture to dress a certain way? Noble liberal!
Just because their choice dress might born out of misogynistic ideology, doesn't give us the right to strip them down at the beach.

No, but it shouldn't lead to special dispensations for affected populations either. There is a trend in Europe towards allowing special pool times for Muslim women etc...
They should be allowed to wear what they wish (obviously), but also feel the full effect of stigma and difference for their choices.
