Great cartoon: Burka vs Bikini - symbols of male-dominated cultures

72. I understand the cartoon's point and the objections.

Objectifying women is too common. In some cultures women wear burkas because seeing them is too stimulating for men, or because they for to not show themselves. In some cultures women wear bikinis, high heels, revealing or sexualizing clothing, because make dominated advertising tells them to do so to attract sexual attention or because the are string enough in their sexuality to show themselves openly.

Women in the USA do not get stoned for not wearing revealing clothing, but they do get passed over for higher salaried promotions as well as bullied for not looking feminine enough. And it is thrown in our faces daily in most media that we need to "look pretty", too many women suffer from anorexia and bulemia which is very harmful to their bodies.

Being able to dress as you want is something too many women, and men, are not able to do.

So rather than dismissing your cartoon with an insult, I find it an interesting comparison, with it having accuracies and inaccuracies. Thank you for the post.
