Belgium legislates on what clothes women are allowed to wear.
Fucking hell. How is this even possible? Jesus H...

I know. They seem full of good intentions, but the answer to "Some women are culturally and socially coerced into wearing X." is not to ban them from wearing it.

I really do despair sometimes.

Tipping Points

[zornhau.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about this one. Most countries have legislation regarding what people can and cannot wear. Is it really so unreasonable to demand people show their faces?

And then there's the issue of tipping points. As more women dress conservatively, more women will be under pressure to also do so. And the holdouts will seem to be fair game for harassment.

I think we can only judge this one on its results.

I object to pretty much all legislation on what people can and cannot wear. As a matter of principle.

I don't see more women dressing conservatively - the cultural trend seems to be solidly in the opposite direction.
