And no, that isn't a typo.

2013.

Twenty-thirteen.

The law was pretty much ignored, but I can remember visiting Paris in 1993 and a group of us joking that we needed to carry a bicycle bell so we could wear trousers.

#OnThisDay, 31 Jan 2013, women in Paris are officially allowed to wear trousers.

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France's minister of women's rights, lifted the ban as โ€œincompatible with the principles of equality between women and menโ€.

The 1799 law had been widely ignored.

I'm not an expert on intl relations etc but if one party daily breaks the terms of a "ceasefire" and escalated these bombings so now mass civilian casualties are recorded w/increasing frequency, there are no consequences? So much bombing that stay in place orders now issued for us gazan med teams?

The world's most evil army doing the most evil things continues to slaughter civilians with no consequences- we are under no movement orders bc they are so random with the slaughter, they just might kill you by "mistake"
