    This reminds me of a local case where a girl was ejected from a municipal pool because her swimming shorts were inappropriate.

    This is disgusting leglized bigotry and a violation of this woman's rights. I can't believe they are doing this.

    Yeah, this is horrible. I don't know if this will last long though. I can't see most French people being any more comfortable with this than any of us are..... I hope.

    It's not a hard concept.
    When attending a beach there are two rules.
    Males - speedo or shorts.
    Females - bikini

    Phew. I hope the French are taking a good hard look at how that happened in the first place.

    they largely used an opinion from a case long ago. I cant say what the first case was about really. its worth looking into.

    Google "loincloths", it's more family-friendly.
