Hey Metta, you said "Rethink, how about the small kids and very old women? What is your view on that smartass? What is your view on attractive beauties? Do you think they should use burqa? We do have our own taliban, don't we?"
You fail to get the main point and instead you want to sideline the main issue by injecting totally different religious and regional ideologies.
Everything aside, focus on this one to one analogy. If you have something that others covet but don't have, they can possibly rob you to get it. And they can rob a little kid or a old woman out of their jewelery if the perpetrators think they can get away with it. So my point is you don't want to be flashing off your jewellery or cash in a poor neighborhood.
If you are in a 5 star hotel party with good security and $100 entry fee to get in, then you can go and flash your jewellery and your cash. So it is just something that you have to be smart about where and how you do it.
If girls are in a nude beach then they can go bare and that's fine, if they are in a beach then flash your bikinis. But, if you are walking back in a street at night alone or with one friend in some dark street in kathmandu or india, or maybe even in some US ghettos, then perhaps you need to be smart enough not to dress up to arouse any kind of misbehaviour.
This is again another issue where idealism and realism needs to be understood. Ideally, it should be fine, but there are lot of anti social elements lying dormant all around us, ready to spring into action at any trigger they may perceive.
