This is precisely the kind of disingenous, faulty, slippery slope argument that I mentioned earlier. What has public fornication got to do with the topic at hand?
@Jungibaaz : Maybe you already know this, since he is your countryman. But I have to point out that this is a common tactic used by people who want to oppose something, but knowing they have no foundation or reason to oppose it, instead pretend that "it" will lead to something else that is bad.
The topic is about women's rights to learn and earn a living. Maybe even about choosing their own clothing, and not being forced to cover their faces. Since they can't openly attack that and say that women should not be allowed to go to school or show their oh-so-sinful faces in public or have the same rights as men, instead they make the discourse about fornication in public or nude beaches. As if in every country where women have equal rights go about fornicating in public.
These are sleights of hands to deviate from the real issue.
Absolutely. But that is not the issue at hand here. The topic is not about whether Afghanistan should allow public nudity - it is about whether women can study and work. As I explained in my previous post, stop trying to be disingenous and taking the discussion to ludicrously different topics. It is clear that what you really want to say is that women should not have equal rights. BTW, men are allowed to show their faces in public - how many of them walk naked, as a consequence? None? Then stop pretending that it is in any way related.
(BTW there are some valid reasons for not allowing public nudity - hygene and public health included. But if you want to discuss the merits or demerits of nudism, do so in a related thread, not on one about women's rights to study and work.)
No I am honestly interested in an answer -- like I'm sure there is a decency code in Afghanistan and Pakistan for men -- for example men probably cannot walk nude in Public -- so the question is how do you set that code?
I'm suspicious of slippery slope defenses because it generally means that the issue is not either well understood or the slippery slope is used by either side as subterfuge to deflect against what is the real issue.
