Mini-skirted Frenchwomen in Nantes have been protesting against a
proposed law which would make "passively soliciting in public" a
crime punishable by two months in prison and a 3,750 euro (GBP2,580)
fine, reports AFP. Pursued by a gaggle of reporters and
photographers, the demonstrators unrolled a pink ribbon and briefly
blocked traffic in front of the city hall. The law - dubbed the "loi
de Sarkozy" after France's interior minister - would, they said, pave
the way for police officers to lock up women whom they deemed
unsuitably dressed.

Well, if I wanted to, of course I could. But I don't. So, I won't.

So in fact you're more likely to pull - er, I mean "solicit passively"...

I certainly hope not. Although, to be honest, I look better in a mini skirt than the women in that picture, anyway.

But is there any law against men in mini-skirts?
