Laws are made to be broken

.
Did you know that in France, in May 4th 2010, it`s illegal for a woman to wear pants?

A 200 years old law prohibits any woman to wear pants – the law is still in place, even if no one really cares about it “"any woman who wants to get dressed as a man (in trousers) must present herself to the police headquarters (that will be in Paris) to obtain authorization".

In 200 years there were two amendments in 1892 and in 1909 allowing women to wear trousers "as long as the woman is holding the reins of a horse” or "on a bicycle or holding it by the handlebars". There were discussion about changing it…in 1969, in 2003 or 2010…One nice answer was saying that: "It is unwise to change texts which foreseen or unforeseen variations in fashion can return to the fore."

The funny part of it that actually those that should make sure the law is followed – if they are women – they wear pants – because that is the police uniform.

Can you imagine how much money would have the state made in the last 100 years for fining every woman wearing pants in France?
