Yea I'm not against her viewpoint overall, even if it is apparently biased due to her own insecurity around wearing less clothing, and her blindness to the options available to her (people wear rash vests and all sorts when swimming these days if they feel conscious about it, there are no rules saying you have to wear a bikini or speedos!).
But when she brings up the issue at the end with muslim women wanting pools to be attended by one s*x for a period of time each week, then she is coming across as pretty hypocritical. Does she want progress or not???
Sounds like she'd prefer a return to the days of measuring mini-skirts at the beach.
What the heck is a rash vest? even just reading the name makes me feel itchy.
Yes Rosemary does come across as rather confused and hypocritical.
Western Patriarchy = Male dominated western culture is evil and must be condemned in the strongest terms. Stand up women and take your power back!
Islamic Patriarchy = Male dominated islamic culture is fine, we just have to make allowances for their ingrained sexism, hey its their cultural right to treat women as second class citizens and if you say otherwise you're a bigot and a racist :)
