Except that this is supposedly don’t because it’s seen as a religious thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m against Islamic people forcing women to wear certain things. It is oppressive. But that’s not what this is. They are seeing it as a religious piece of clothing, and banning it for being a religious piece of clothing. And it’s not even strictly a religious piece of clothing.
It’s also just the dress. We aren’t talking about any sort of head or face covering. But the dress.
There’s a few layers to this, but none of it is “France is fighting against Islamic misogyny”
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen in these entire comments
Edit: Since I’ve got almost nothing going on at work, let me try and explain my point of view. It might be hard to follow an adult conversation, but maybe try.
They are not banning this for any moral reason about misogyny. To champion it for that reason is dumb because that’s not what’s happening. I’m personally a fan of talking about things happening as they are happening. We are not seeing France fight Islam and the way they oppress women. It’s them saying people can’t wear religious things. This includes things like a cross necklace, or a yamaka. Personally, I am agaisnt this. I don’t think it should be the schools decision on things like that. Secularism in a system doesn’t have to be against these things. It just means the rules are written without influence from them. I don’t think religious clothes hurt peope simply for being religious. I don’t get offended if someone wears a cross necklace or something like that.
But this also means it’s not them fighting for women. It’s just them being against religious articles of clothing over all
“So you’re pro women being forced to wear it?!”
No. I’m actually pretty anti-theistic. More so with the Abraham’s religions. I was actually raised Mormon, and while not as extreme as Islam, they do have very similar views on modesty with women that they don’t extent anywhere near to the same extent with men. So I have seen the harm things like this cause. And I agree that it is a choice, but also not really since they are taught this is the way to live and to not do so makes you a terrible person. That if they don’t cover their porn shoulders they’re gonna get pregnant and have STDs. Shit like that fucks with women.
However, I don’t think it’s the schools job to do that. I can understand and agree with head coverings. But if it’s just the dress, then no.
There’s also the aspect that, as others have pointed out, it’s not just religious. It’s also cultural. If you grow up in those regions, even if you’re not Islamic, you would likely still wear one. Because it’s just a part of their culture. Just like how jeans and t-shirts are fairly common in the US. I lived in Florida, and flip flops were fairly common. Moved up north, and not so much. Different cultures have certain types of clothing that are fairly common. It doesn’t have to be religious. So in that aspect I think it’s also a oversight in that some might not be wearing it for cultural reasons so much as it’s just what they wear.
None of this means I support misogyny. I just don’t beleive in an oppressive government doing things like this. If they don’t like it, then they should implement a law where students wear a uniform.
America: get sent home if your skirt is too short
France: get sent home if your dress is too long
One of them is a misogynstic state which criminalises abortions in parts of the country, another state is activelly fighting misogyny.

That’s some typical “pro-life” bullshit. Bye.
So you’re a bot. Got it.
“I don’t think the schools should decide if kids can wear religious clothing or not”
“That means you’re against abortions”
My dude, fucking what?
Ahah, ook. “Pro-life” bot calls people around bots. GJ.
Thanks for proving my point lol
