I think some of them at least do it as a sign of protest against the French society. It’s normal when you are a teenager to want to defy your teachers and the school system. Of course this is somewhat used by religious preachers to gain power. But these types of law will not make the girls want to wear these clothes less, and may pressure them more into religion. Also, the extreme religious kids don’t usually go to the secular public school, there are religious schools in France. The true response to this issue is more social workers, more information about women’s rights for young girls, actual solutions for women who are attacked or pressured into religion, and a better economic and social integration of these population, regardless of the clothes they are wearing.

That depends hugely on the region. They do it on Thursday where they say Chocolatine.

I don’t know where you live, but here the government doesn’t give a shit about eco-social organizations until they start to destroy costly things.

IMHO one of the main issue is the lack of integrated booking platform for trains. Especially for international routes. It is very easy to plan a travel by planes, because there is an interoperable platform across all companies and booking agents. For trains, this does not exist, and it prevent the fair and free competition between operators, which would probably reduce the prices overall.

I considered it seriously even though I am fertile. The process is so complex, long and uncertain in my country (western Europe) that we chose to make new ones. Still considering to adopt when we get a bit older.

Sounds like you eat shitty bread.

Suddenly going down seems to be a constant in my self hosted services though…
