In this photo Lucy Nicholson captured not only Doaa Elghobashy (Egypt) and Kira Walkenhorst (Germany) competing in beach volleyball at the Olympic Games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro but also the cultural differences of two civilizations.

It's also oppressive to be expected to play a sport in a tiny bikini while men, same sport, wear baggy shorts and tank tops
Agree. I watched Australia play the Netherlands, and it struck me that the Aussie girls spent most of the match tugging down their tiny tops and getting the material from the bottom half out of their bottoms whereas the Dutch girls looked really comfortable in leggings and a short sleeved top. Those tiny outfits of the Aussies and many others, seemed to be impractical as well as pretty sexist.

How should I tell her why she has to cover herself in clothes that she doesn’t like? For the first time she wore something called “Maqna'a” (a hooded headscarf) and I think of how cruelly she has to tolerate the heat and how I freely get to wear more comfortable clothing than her. ???? From today on, just like the other women in this country, she has to confine herself to the prison of compulsory hijab to prevent the faith of some people from shaking! I wish I could do something for her. ???? My daughter, forgive me for not being able to stop them from taking your freedom from you, so that you, too, can choose your clothing as you wish. Forgive me, for I don’t have the honor or the power to defend the least of your human rights against a bunch of pseudo-humans." https://www.facebook.com/StealthyFreedom/photos/a.859102224103873.1073741828.858832800797482/1461195733894516/?type=3&theater

Nope. Oppression is declaring a white man's opinion as the ultimatum. Screw that, you guys have had your power for centuries. Let the woman who is "oppressed" speak for her damn self buddy!!
