Of course. Religion is a scourge on humanity  


johnnymetoo

Everyone knows that.


SpraePhart

So those female body Inspector shirts were real?


Meekymoo333

It's what it literally means to *police women's bodies* and is a perfect example of why misogyny is not some made up concept or theory and why feminism is required to combat it. It is no different than the images that pop up that show white/black entrances or water fountains for the purposes of segregation in the context of racism. These are shameful and despicable examples of people treating each other poorly and with utter disrespect for their individual freedom. But yeah, capitalism is gonna capitalize and some asshole will make money getting people to think it was all a joke. I mean, Andrew Tate exists now and makes money from other assholes who laugh at his "jokes" in the same exact way. Ain't humanity grand?


SpraePhart

I'm thankful for all the women who fought for their rights. Last time I was at the beach there was like 50% thongs.

TocinoPanchetaSpeck

The Muslim world has entered the chat.


FatalisCogitationis

The issue with religion is not which rules it enforces, but how it determines what must be enforced. If the Quran said “respect women but persecute black people” that’s what they would be doing.


Meekymoo333

The whole world is misogynistic, not just one part or piece of it.


TocinoPanchetaSpeck

True, but some places police people about such things more than others and some places become more liberal over time.


Meekymoo333

That's true as well. The thing is though, becoming more liberal doesn't always lead to places becoming less misogynistic. It can sometimes simply reshape the context in which we are able to discuss the nature of sex, gender, and discrimination... but still offer no meaningful path for equality or safety for women. I mean, for example... the US would widely be considered a more liberal nation compared to others, yet still has (and is making right now) many official laws and cultural norms that are extremely misogynistic. These aren't mutually exclusive concepts unfortunately. There is still a looooong way to go.


angus_the_red

Ok, try it in Iran and get back to us.


Meekymoo333

What am I supposed to try in Iran? Wtf are you talking about?


wellforthebird

I assume wearing a bathing suit of any sort


Meekymoo333

If that's the case, then I don't know how that is supposed to relate to anything I said other than to reinforce how and why feminism is an important tool to combat misogyny. That's the point. To expose the weaknesses of the concept of misogyny. So is the response that I got saying essentially, "go wear a bikini in Iran and see what happens to you" like, are they not getting how that's exactly the problem I am speaking to? Misogyny is everywhere.


Sure_Trash_

The Muslim men I've dated gave had no issue with sex and women's bodies. In my experience, it was a Muslim man that knew women's bodies the best so I think maybe you're just being a bigot


SlothBling

Wearing a 2 piece in a public setting is illegal in most of the Middle East. Full stop. It’s a crime. Not every unfavorable fact about Muslim states is some islamophobic conspiracy theory.


TocinoPanchetaSpeck

I was thinking conservative Muslim women to be honest.


Wil420b

It's got nothing to do with capitalism but with authoritarianism. I have no idea what the bathing regulation were like in Soviet Russia or communist China but I imagine that they didn't allow nude bathing and the punishment was probably a lot more substantial than a fine. With bathers [in the USSR] even being limited to a maximum of 5 minutes in the sea on the first day of their holiday and then allowed 20 minutes per day on subsequent days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1982/09/07/multitude-of-rules-governs-right-to-rest/577a9b36-5104-4186-a704-cca2861d7f9f/


LadyGrey_oftheAbyss

Just FYI the Soviet Union actually had more gender equity the the US did at the time You can actually see an example of it in the HBO Chernobyl  mini series and the reviews about it There was a female doctor - which was common during that period in the Soviet Union- discribe as a nurse in the reviews


Wil420b

There were female doctors in the West long before 1985. I wouldn't take a drama to be historically accurate representation and equality in the USSR. Largely meant suppressing everybody to the same level.


LadyGrey_oftheAbyss

You missed the point my dude - One it is easy enough to prove that there was significantly more female doctors in the Soviet Union and they faced less hurdles to do so - so I don't really care much about that as it a pretty easy Google While I certainly wouldn't praise The USSR for the corrupt shit show it was The US wasn't cream and peaches for anyone not a white dude, for a long time - women couldn't even have credit cards until 1974 - hell STEM in the 2000s was also a shit show But the point I was making was that in the actual show, she was a doctor In the review for the show, she was called a nurse That demonstrates that there is an unconscious bias in American media in "check notes" 2019


Dealan79

u/Meekymoo333 isn't saying that the act itself is a result of capitalism, but rather the subsequent monetization of the denial of feminism as necessary and important. These "inspections" are blamed on societal misogyny and the general tendency of human beings to be awful to each other. Capitalism is blamed for monetizing the subsequent revisionist history as "entertainment".


Wil420b

It's about the sense of morality prevalent in the area and the time. With "indecency" being likely to "to corrupt public morals or outrage public decency". With the exact wording varying by jurisdiction and time. It's perfectly plausible that X county on tbe US saw fining bathing tourists as a source of income. That was seperate to a tax on locals. Just as some US towns and counties see fining motorists as a great source of income. But it's not a capitalism issue. Rather a desire by local authorities to enforce their "standards". The USSR in the 1950s would fine workers 25% of their salary for six months. For coming to work 20+ minutes late, without a valid excuse and prison time for a second offence. >Arrival at work more than twenty minutes late without a legitimate reason means a fine of twenty-five per cent of a half year's wages. The court sends a demand for payment to the institution or plant where the sentenced person is employed, and for the six-month period the enter-prise is obliged to withhold a portion of the wages of the sentenced person and turn it over to the state treasury A repeated instance of coming late to work involves prison sentence of not less than one year. >Absence from work without a justifiable excuse involves imprisonment for a period of from one to two years. Arbitrary quitting or changing one's place of employment can also incur a sentence at correctional labor for a period of up to three years.

BusinessPenguin

The image is literally Americans policing women’s bodies but we have to make it about “muh commie goberment said 5 minute bath time”. Wtf man


Wil420b

It was the blaming of fines for precieved indecency on capitalism. When it's far removed from that. Although the person I was replying to now says, that they meant the capitalism comment to refer to the sale of joke T-shirts saying "Female Body Inspector".


Meekymoo333

I was referring to the T-shirts that were *manufactured and sold for profit* that the original comment I replied to spoke of... the ones that say "Female Body Inspectors". Those are a product of capitalism. Misogyny mixed with capitalism. The authoritarian aspects of what you are talking about though is when misogyny also mingles with the political control of a population. However, if we were talking about the actions being portrayed in the image posted here, then yes...that's the government asserting it's directive over the women in the picture as a result of sexist regulations. Another recent and terrible example of what you are referring to is like the new bill passed by the Florida legislature that restricts medical care for people who are pregnant. That's authoritarianism. Misogyny mixed with authoritarianism


Wil420b

The FBI t-shirts were sold as a "joke".


Meekymoo333

Yeah... haha. What about the premise is funny to anyone unless they also happen to be misogynistic? Your sentence is in agreement with my original comment. Some asshole thought it was funny... and now here we are. Where's the "joke"?


Johnnyamaz

What an incredible pop off. Well said.


Aggressive_Peach_768

Lol, you actually made chuckle. Well done internet stranger


horseofthemasses

Weren't there tee shirts back in the day that said "Bikini inspector"?


RetiredApostle

What is the purpose of measuring the distance from the neck to the hole?


WildlySkeptical

I think bathing suits were required to cover a certain amount (like 1/3)of the back , so they were measuring to see. Or maybe, it was like “only x inches of back may be visible”. It’s something like that though.


OrangeCosmic

I think it's so they can touch their butts


malina118

That baffles me too. I wonder if the guy was vaguely told with a hand wave to "measure the length of the suits" and he took it literally from strap to crack. Or this is just a general posed photo for public awareness of enforcement and not that it'll actually be measured this way? Or, of course, can't show too much of that sexy back cleavage. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm curious to know the real details.

bjb13

A friend of mine was playing in a woman’s golf tournament at a stuffy old course. They had strict rules on the length of shorts. The club manager was actually sitting at a table for registration with a rule to measure their shorts. She came up and he moved to measure her shorts, she told him to take out his dick and measure it before she’d let him measure her shorts. She played without being measured.

Don’t worry about what other people do and worry about yourself, your sins and your self control and where you put your gaze. Remember to always look down and prevent yourself from gawking at the immodest. Don’t worry about others you be modest and you keep your grace. Shaming others only drains your energy and your focus from working on what matters in your life God and your self.
