Why is it too far ? Are all you atheists inflamed by the sight of a woman like a 17th century puritan?

Well if you wouldn't be turned on by the sight of a naked woman that's your business. The point though is that while everybody has to wear bottoms, only men are allowed to go topless, which I think was more your point wasn't it?

Yes must admit a lady in lingerie looks far sexier than a lady in the buff.

It's this kind of objectification of women that eventual leads to the burka

No the point is why should a male dominated society decide what is lawfull for a woman to wear ?

Well exactly, but as an example you quoted something which both men and women are forced to wear, while only men are allowed to walk around topless, generally.
 
I'm driving along a road and a plane drops on my head. I'm having a drink and a helicopter crashes through the roof.

Mysterious.

Let's light a candle.

I'm not angry I just think it's batshit mental.

What is the difference between British societies patriarchal laws that objectify and force dress codes on women and Islam ?

The difference is that women in Britain can choose whether they want to be objectified, as can many men. We have countless laws which are in place to make sure women are treated as equals to men. Now, I'm not saying we have a perfect society because sexism certainly exists, and in many places it ought not to after so many years of equality, but you cannot compare the treatment of women in Britain to that of many Muslim countries.

Which dress codes are 'forced' on women in Britain?

I didn't say I found it tedious. I was just answering the lad. The topics of theism and anti theism fascinates me.

I can't get my penis out in public. It's not a sexist law, it's a law regarding decency.

The tenet of you post seemed to indicate that you were bored of the threads. I apologise for misunderstanding.

Which ones have the laws you seem to be implying here?
 
the flying graysons said:
So you agree it is exactly the same then just a slightly different scale?

No it's completely different. I'll use Saudi and the UK as an example. In Saudi women are strictly forbidden from driving (not a bad thing some might say). In the UK women have exactly the same rights as a man when it comes to driving. I could use countless other laws, from many Islamic countries but my point remains the same. Many Islamic countries have laws which are blatantly sexist. We don't.
