Whis is really sexist?
What is amazing is that pretty much all religions and cultures have some serious statement on how much women should cover themselves. If a woman wants to wear a burka, a hijab, a bikini, a shirt, a business suit, a baseball cap, then who are we to demand otherwise? Americans are such hypocrites- so quick to point out how "sexist" Muslim nations are when essentially they are doing the exact thing in reverse. Wearing a bikini does not mean equality for women. Choosing whether to wear a head scarf or a bikini without government interference and social discrimination is.
