    @doctor-phibes said in French Government Says No to Virginity Test:

    It's not just about honour killing, which I would hope everybody would say is a very bad thing, it's about girls and young women becoming completely ostracized from their families.

    Obviously, outlawing virginity tests isn't going to change attitudes in of itself, but it sends a message that this isn't what we do.

    Anyway, it's up to the French what they do, and a bunch of Americans telling them they're wrong is going to have about as much effect as renaming your French fries - which I'm sure we can all agree was a particularly meaningless bit of symbolism.

    Then maybe they need to be ostracized from their families. Then, maybe the practice dies as they marry nice French lads and produce children of their own...

    For not taking advice from a few Americans?

      Also, as any civilized person will tell you, the correct word for French fries is ‘chips’.

      I was only joking

            We are not advising, We are supporting institutional secularism in France. As we do in Quebec.

            A big difference.

              I'm supporting the right of people to live free without interference of government into their private lives. As we do in America. And as they supposedly do in France.

                I don't believe that for a second. I think America shattered that myth of itself a long time ago. You just find secularism abhorrent. I do not.

                      Yes you are correct, some people do like secularism and what it brings to the modern world.

                      I am one of those people and will continue to advocate for it.

                          No worries, France is long way from Louisiana. So is the 49th parallel.
