'Man must be allowed to show their manly virility', instead of 'women must be allowed to show their female modesty'.

The woman of this story is a French convert. She is challenging the right to wear a stylized, western variant of exotic attire. It is not all that different from me demanding the right to wear the stylized, western variant of New Guinean clothing to a swimming pool. In fact, I am seriously considering getting a couple of guys together and turning up at a swimming pool dressed in penis sheats. I'll make sure to convert to animism too.

It looks bizarre what I posted, but it is not. It serves to illuminate some underlying mechanisms in the debate.
If it were my swimming pool, you'd get your penis sheath served for dinner

Djeez, there is a special occasion for wearing ridiculous clothes in public: carnaval.

The rest of the year you dress properly in public and ridiculous only on private parties with lots of booze.

No burka.
