The framing of this suggests that this is only against women, men also have swimwear codes in France. It's crazy

Looks like they have em in the USA too

Time to jail this repugnant dress code violator!

[-] ShaggyBlarney@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

We don't need to go that far. It's not like he's wearing a tan suit.

I bet this despicable elitist eats Dijon mustard on a regular basis!

Come on now, they just wanna see Zohran without his clothes on! Now we can't blame them for that...

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 month ago

The insane part of this would be if Zohran didn't wear a suit. The New York Post would be like "MAYOR ATTENDS OFFICIAL EVENT NOT IN A SUIT!!!!1!!!11!!!"

This made me afraid for his shoes, but obv he took them off.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

I agree that Zohran is not sufficiently naked to be swimming in a public pool. Zohran, shame on you! Take off your clothes!

Correct, shorts are also banned. The same city tried to change that to but got shot down there too.

Since state and religion are separated, public pools cannot make an exception based on religion. France had fairly strict hygienic rules for public swimming pools, which prohibit loose fitting garments.

I can't tell if you're joking or not

[-] leftascenter@jlai.lu 11 points 1 month ago

It's true. Some people wore surf shorts all day and didn't change. So... That's the current situation.

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

I'm not, this has nothing to do with women's rights

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

Of course not it's just Apartheid against Muslims. France tried doing this even for beaches. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/burkini-ban-france-overturned-1.3736823

The thing they said about this ridiculous mandatory speedo rule is true. But this here is still all about racism. They could just make an exception. This would not be an issue at all if it weren't an opportunity for politicians to spew anti-Muslim hate.
