You trivialise the point. French law doesn't just give women the right to dress like men - it gives women the SAME RIGHTS in everything as men.
It recognises that there are places where that is difficult to enforce - like in the family, or in the street.
But it also recognises that there are places where the state can use its muscle to GUARANTEE women's rights.
Women who persist in adopting traditions which repress and limit them have a simple choice - don't work for or get involved in French State institutions - go work elsewhere.
Women who want to cast off mysoginistic restrictions can go work for the French State and experience freedom
FFS why would bras be illegal in France?
Unless Jock Straps were too!
Feeble intellects like yours, however, need all the support they can get!
The Lynch sinch - holds your brain up under attack from superior forces!
don't work for or get involved in French State institutions - go work elsewhere.
So you now want to change the argument because you find yourself in a hole eh ?
You know very well that the burka/Sarkozy story has nothing whatsoever to do with working for the French State. And Sarkozy wasn't suggesting that those women wishing to wear the burka should simply 'work elsewhere'.
You know very well that Sarkozy was calling for a bar on French Muslim women from covering their faces in public.
Interesting that you should try to shift the argument into a completely different area. But not [i]that[/i] interesting ....... I'm off.
You know very well

Twice in the same post!
How do you know what I know very well?

This is identical in tone and content to what my adolescent daughter says when she's losing the argument:
"Whatever, Dad. (Sound of door slamming)"

Well I had, maybe erroneously, assumed that you had [b][i]actually[/i][/b] read the story 😕
It didn't even occur to me that someone might very strong opinions on a news story which they hadn't even bothered reading 😀

This is identical in tone and content to what my adolescent daughter says when she's losing the argument:
"Losing the argument" ? That's how you see it, isn't it ...... "winning" or "losing" an argument ?
Small details such as, knowing what you're talking about, been actually correct, and understanding the facts, don't really come into it, do they - eh ?
So I react in the same way as your daughter does, when she is confronted by an ill-informed person who likes to argue into the small hours of the morning over an issue which they don't understand/know the facts - ie :
'I can't be arsed anymore' ?
Well ....... there's a surprise :rolls eyes:
