Where are all the feminists who should be raging about the decision by a small town near Naples, Italy to fine women who wear miniskirts and other provocative attire? They were the first to balk at the burqa ban in France, so why not this? Isn't this as egregious to them as the burqa ban? The freedom for women to wear what they choose? Apparently not, because I haven't heard a peep from them, or anyone else for that matter, at least not yet. But at least the burqa-babes and they're supporters should be happy that they're not the only ones being targeted in Europe. In fact, they should feel right at home with what the town of Castellammare di Stabia has decided to do.
The town council doesn't want to see women walking around in short skirts and baring cleavage, so women will be fined up to 500 Euros if caught. The town has also decided that those hip-hugger, low-cut jeans are also far too racy, so both men and women would be subject to a fine, as well. In fact, they have 41 new rules they want to institute that "every good citizen must respect".
The centre-Right mayor, Luigi Bobbio, said it was all part of an effort to "restore urban decorum and improve coexistence" by targeting people who were "rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved".
But those aren't the only rules all "good citizens" in this town must abide by. If passed, people will not be able to play football in public parks and forget swearing in public, that could also land you a fine of anywhere between 25 and 500 Euros. The town council is set to meet on Monday to approve the set of rules.
Don Paolo Cecere, a local town priest, is in favor of the bans because
"It's the right decision. In this way we can fight the spread of sexual molestation," he told a local newspaper, the Cronache di Napoli.
Many towns in Italy have already banned kissing in cars, feeding stray cats and building sandcastles on the beach, which makes them sound very Shariah compliant and more like Saudi Arabia than Italy. But its their choice to do that. Conservative Muslims should quite comfy in a town like that, so hopefully they won't complain when the burqa is banned in Italy, as well.
