Western standard has the new clout figured out.

He starts:

Let's see now: you and I have been complaining about those embarrassing backless hospital gowns since when? Early in the previous century? We've expressed our discomfort and sense of humiliation in front of doctors and nurses, in Carry On movies, in "Me and My Illness" memoirs and no doubt, even in letters to hospital administrators (written by cranks and serious people alike). Little kids cringe and cry, but so what?

Nuthin.

Then, a handful of Muslim women complain (through their translators, apparently) and ta-da! No more revealing "johnnies"! Don't ya just luv dhimmi life?
