I respect freedom as long as it does not infringe on others. should we be judging this on the basis of religious beliefs, what are these ladies doing on a beach full of (almost) naked men?, but then it is their personal business. Still there are special nudist beaches where any type of bathing suit is considered offensive. I was once quite offended on behalf of the ladies wearing bathing suits at the Cairo Holiday Inn where a bunch of completely covered ladies sat sweating in the glaring sun while their husbands were goggling at the lady swimmers. My children refused to swim and went back to their room. so there you are. I am quite intrigued to know what your own personal thoughts are. I see so far i am the only one who answered your question.
