Ze burkini is a problem with Ze France

This is awesome I haven't had a good discussion like this with Merithyn in a while.

I don't like Curves. That's a set routine done the same every day. I'd prefer a regular gym sans men. Preferably with a pool.

A gym with a set routine and no pool?  Booooo

it is hard to have a pool when they set themselves up in former yogurt shops in strip malls.

Yeah well for obvious reasons I have never been in one

I haven't either. I'd like to streak naked through one however.

No it isn't and no it doesn't.  I reject all forms of multiculuralism.  If you choose to immigrate into a different society you must adopt its customs, period.  No accomodation under any circumstances.

Surely you've got to distinguish between customs that matter and customs that don't.

You have no idea how different going to a pool is for women than it is for men. You throw on a pair of shorts and hit the water. We spend hours shaving, prepping, doing sit-ups, etc., before we ever get to the pool, and believe me, we don't do it for the other women who are going to be there.

You know, this isn't at all true.  Many men feel the same way.  I've known some overweight dudes that were very sensitive about going to the pool.  Were they giant pussies?  Sure, to an extent, but that's not my point.  Their embarassment was understandable, because women judge at least as severely as men, and probably moreso, given their limited reproductive carrying capacity plus having been shaped by the devil and all.

But it is okay for you to be gay in straight society because you never moved?

[Sheilbh]

Whatever most of the men out there look like shit with their big bellies hanging out.  I wish they would spend hours not making the rest of us go blind.

Men don't care, generally speaking.  They have no shame.

I do think women judge other women though.  If men gave a girl walking down the street the sort of once over I've seen other women do they'd be called perverts.

Some are into that, of course.

Not only is his position odd from that perspective, it's also ironic given that he's in Quebec.

I thought about that, but I envisioned he'd say that the whole French brouhaha is part of Quebec society and that he is from there.
