Women can finally wear pants
legally
Since the beginning of humanity, men have
always been considered superior to women.
Whether it is in
the personal or professional life men have always had advantages compared to
women. They use to receive higher wages than women even though they did the
same work. Within the family it is more common that the father brings in the
money, therefore when it is the mother that does, the father is considered
powerless.
Pants being considered as a symbol of power. Since 1946 in the French constitution
women are said to have the same rights as men. Nevertheless there was still a
law that is paradoxical. The law prohibiting women to wear pants was
instituted in 1800. In 1892 and 1909. It has been added that they could wear
pants if they are riding a horse or riding a bike only.
Even though this
law existed women stated to wear pants on an every day basis due to designers
who designed more and more outfits including pants. The member of the
association “Ni Putes Ni Soumises” fought to abrogate this law from the constitution.
It has been abrogated on the 31st of January 2013. It is a a small
step toward equality between both sex but a big step for humanity.
