Hygiene is a common excuse to enforce clothing culture. It is very similar to ban against burqa, and when France banned full-body swimwear it also cited hygienic reasons.
Here in Sweden you actually have a easier time finding a work place that accept burqa compared to a work place that accept people being barefoot. I find that to be a bit odd but then clothing is 99% cultural and has very little to do with logic.
- beatgammit 7y agoHow is a full body swimsuit less hygienic than any other piece of swimwear? When looking it up, it looks like the actual claim is a mix of hygiene (not specified) and "upholding secular values", so it's absolutely an attack on displaying religious affiliation in public. Does that mean they also ban crosses, kippahs, and Dastars, or will they continue to target a specific religious group? They seem to somehow relate terrorism with everyone who follows Islam, but that's like banning crosses because some predominantly Christian group commits an act of terrorism (white nationalists are often Christian).
