Holy shit, they're talking about people wearing pants that expose their ass - virtually every country in the world has laws against showing that which is perceived as "private". I fail to see how that compares to forcing women to cover their faces...
Well, the thing is, different cultures regard different parts as "private". So, for example, in the US, they talk about making it illegal for you to wear your pants so low that your underwear is visible; in Iran they talk about women's faces. In the US, there's a tremendous hoo-hah when some woman exposes a nipple on TV, in France they have topless women on many beaches. And so on. I think it's mostly a religious thing, and I really don't grok these religions. But I do know that there's a whole bunch of different brands of religion, all offering a different bundle of benefits, and all making a different bunch of demands. Yes, I know it's all a load of hooey, but there's a whole bunch of people who take this stuff seriously. And worse - they want to enforce their own religions crazynesses on other folks. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
