I feel sorry for some of these women. A prison sentence for wearing a flimsy dress.. To extreme...

Turkish women attacking clothing law

Wish I had known about that protest. What a ridiculous ruling...although not surprising

I just wish that more Turkish women took a stand. 70 doesn't seem like alot, but it's a start. I give alot of credit to those women.

An extract from the article you mentioned:

The protesters marched across the iconic Galata Bridge chanting slogans.

"It's not exhibitionism, it's male abuse!" and "State, take your hands off my body!" they cried.

Rows of bemused fishermen watched as they passed - many were wearing strappy tops, flimsy sun-dresses with plunging necklines, or shorts.

The incident they were protesting about occurred last summer, on the same bridge, when men complained that the woman's clothing was "improper."

Turkish newspapers quote court documents as saying she was wearing a lightweight outfit like a nightdress, which blew up in the wind.

Last week a judge upheld the men's complaints.

Wow! I can't believe this...
It is such a men's world!

bence kadinlar boyle iyi degil cunku insanlari rahatsiz, ozaman farkli giy....ondan sonra bir sey problem var ozaman kadini problem degil, insanlari problem...
i think that if of course any women dressing indecent at that hour comes across someone will complain but think about it, if it was masochistic they would have harrassed her no? i think theres more then one perspective, but of course women wear what she wants. on the other hand if she enters a place and it has its rules then one must abide or go somehwere else. i believe this
