For most families in the Eurosphere, if a boy wanted to go to school in a dress instead of pants, they would probably face significant social pressure to not do so.

Clearly this means that boys are being FORCED to wear pants and we should ban them from being worn.

/s

Unless someone can prove that some harm comes from wearing a frickin' headscarf, this law is just racist bullshit.
