An ultra-orthodox Jewish leader has reportedly banned girls aged five and older in some areas of Israel from riding bicycles - claiming it is “immodest”.

The rabbi of the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Nahloat distributed the stringent decree to his followers in synagogues across the area.

He had said young girls riding bicycles could “cause serious damage to their modesty” and that bicycle seats caused young girls to sit in a way men found “provocative”, according to the Arutz Sheva 7 website.

The ruling said: “We inform parents that they are obligated to forbid their daughters from age five and up from acting in this illegitimate way.”

2. Hey, I've got an idea!

How about if instead:

MEN LEARN TO CONTROL THEMSELVES.

Because this idea that women have to cover up in order not to 'provoke' men is pathetic.

6. Mellaril in the 70's

To cool the jets of men at the State Hospital. They have Leuprovide for chemical castration or depoprovera? Then there is regular castration.

If men have ant testosterone they are dangerous animals.

What can I sign you up for?.

9. Sign me up for raising my children and grandchildren to a)

have a decent moral base
b) be kind and respectful to others
c) practice a healthy self control

The idea that women have to cover up or men have to be medicated in order not to rape or otherwise bully women is a scathing indictment of the 'islamo-judeo-christian' environment in which we find ourselves.

I suggest instead of anything being wrong with women or with men, the wrong is ALL with fundamentalist 'people of the book' religion and the patriarchal culture it has spawned.

21. If he thinks little girls on a bicycle are provocative, he needs to be checked out.

He obviously has some issues at the very least if he isn't an out and out pedophile.
