"I propose you use something like these for your women, they are rather fashionable and cute.

"T'is written as if any of the men writing these acts have seen a woman within ten saint's days. And yet, why, I've not seen an effeminate-looking elf in Petrus, not to mention a woman conforming to the nobles' cloth fetishes." Marvin quips to himself as he reads the act.

[Googlesearch 141]

Sonn Ander cries in anguish, Such a pervy old man would have to pay for a woman's touch...Now he can't even see if they are female or not!

[TeaLulu 1783]

Licia frowns, despite not being a citizen of Oren, and wonders if her pants are really such a sin? She decides they probably are and heads to the nearest tailor to purchase a skirt as well.

[TavernLich 324]

Alciel hides a frown under a ragged good, "Well.., time to burn and down some churches and rally women... RIP Pervy Oren Empire."

*Update the Female Modesty Laws only apply to the Nobility, commoners are free to act as they will so long as it doesn't breach the basic laws*

[Devland99 180]

Konstantin first thought the female law applied to all, after rereading he sighs

"Thank god there won't be a feminist protest....!"

[Samler 1565]

Seth sighs quietly. "Only nobel ones? A shame." He shakes his head as he leaves the new poster or person saying this to the people.

[dank 413]

"Do we even have any female Orenian nobles anymore?"

[bungo 3965]

Yuri frowns.

"New law is good, but why only noble woman, all woman should be good and happy."

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

Quin takes a moment to read this and blinks in genuine confusion.

 

"Oren has women?"

[ToenailTickler 290]

Rags looks for women, but finds none. "Vhat ze ****"

Vykk Volaren thinks he may be a little too turned on by the burqa...

[AndrewTech 3330]

The author of the Acts wipes sweat from his brow when he reads the amendment.

Now he doesn't have to worry about flustered feminist activists vandalizing his manor!
