Wisdom: If you're the only one wearing a burkini you're the immodest extremist in the mix drawing attention to yourself.
The definition of "modest" changes over time and is highly cultural and situational.
Harassing a woman to dress like everyone else as to avoid attention is no better than telling a woman what she has to wear. You're literally just doing the exact same thing as is done to these women but in the reverse. Just let people wear what they want to wear.
As long as it doesn't infringe on anyone's rights people should be free to wear whatever they like without being harassed. Plus too much sun heightens the risk of skin cancer so covering up is actually the smart choice.
yeah. as long as you arent putting yourself, and thus rescue personal, at risk it shouldnt matter. like if someone wanted to swim in a down jacket id hope people would try and stop them as thats dumb.
