 In my entire life, I have never seen a woman going topless in the
 supermarket so I really don't know what you're talking about. I

 another woman who is showing more than the average amount of boob.
 
 For what it's worth, a woman in Guelph, Ontario effectively made it

 30 years ago.

 In any case, what do your remarks even have to do with Muslim men
 harassing women? You acknowledge that these are barbaric behaviours
 but you still seem to be hunting for some excuse for this behaviour.
 It seems like you're trying to root that excuse in some perceived
 hypocrisy among Westerners.

 
 I'm trying to point out that *our* mores aren't without "barbarisms".
 

 No culture is perfect. In other breaking news, water is wet and it's

The trick is to bear that in mind when punching down in culture wars.

This is typically where the Islam apologist will shout, "Christians are just
as bad. What about the Inquisition?!?"

The proper response to which is, if you find yourself always having to reach
back centuries, if not millennia, to find analogous Christian examples to
counter modern Muslim barbarity, you should do some serious self-examination.
