Take heart, DU Taliban ... Rakia al-Gassra dresses for YOU.

Isn't it WONDERFUL that Bahrain is supportive of the fashion sense expressed so aptly by so many on DU? Rakia seems to be one of the few female athletes CHOOSING to eschew the sexist bikinis imposed on the objectified chattel of the capitalist West!

This Bahraini athlete LEADS in the name of the worlds female athletes in demonstrating her LIBERTY!

TahitiNut's sarcastic post makes some of the natives unhappy.  A couple of them waggle their angry vaginas at TahitiNut in protest...

6. The continuum of patriarchy
 In some cultures women are forcibly covered, in others they are expected to reveal their bodies. In either case, women are being objectified.

25. Choices are never made in a vacuum. 
 Obviously your OP is in reference to some flamewar that I missed. I'm guessing that someone had the temerity to question why female athletes are expected to wear revealing attire and the DU Liberal Doodz Brigade descended to slam her for denying women the awesome and empowering "choice" to be sex objects. Am I right?

40. if you think women athletes are allowed to wear whatever style
 of uniform they see fit, you are pretty uninformed about uniforms.

51. You are shitting me aren't you?
 This flame bait thread was because of bikinis and possible sexism at the Olympics?

I think someone is spamming this board trying to make us look like idiots.

Thanks for taking the time to inform me.

I've seen your posts, "Don".  You do a fine job of that with nobody's help.

 Calling fellow DU members Taliban because they hold a different opinion has been deemed a group attack. In addition, this thread is a continuation of several other debates on this issue, and it has been determined to constitute flamebait.
