Faced with the outcry over the publication of a survey on the outfits of high school girls, the weekly

and the Ifop polling institute defended their approach on Wednesday, arguing a subject "at the heart of the public debate".

Ifop asked more than 2,000 people if they wanted "that public high schools prohibit girls from wearing" a series of clothes "on the premises of their establishment", including the "no bra", presented as a “top without a bra through which the tips of her nipples are visible”, the tops “with plunging neckline” or even the “crop top” (“t-shirt showing the navel”).

Pictograms were not part of the survey

Result: "55% of the French want to ban the crop top for young high school girls" and "66% the" no bra "", recalled the institute on Twitter, based on drawings representing partially naked busty breasts.

There followed Tuesday and Wednesday a wave of outraged reactions on social networks, including the leader of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon or the feminist activist Caroline de Haas.

"Marianne", the anti-clothing dictatorship newspaper of the Islamists, launches propaganda polls for the dictatorship of the Puritans.

Mirror effect against women's freedom.

Twin sectarianisms.

Nothing actually works.

- Create a survey on girls' outfits

- Sexualize the bodies of children and very young girls

- Retrieve the hashtag of the mobilization to share these horrors

You are gerbering @IfopOpinion and @MarianneleMag

In the process, Ifop justified itself in a press release, recalling that it has measured “for several decades the support of the French for social movements”.

Carrying out such a survey "appeared both relevant" and "in accordance with the terms of the ongoing public debate," explained the Institute, specifying that the controversial pictograms were not submitted to the respondents.

Attacks deemed "unfair"

In a video published on her Web TV,

also defended herself through the voice of her journalist Hadrien Mathoux, who spoke of attacks "for the most part very unjust" and explained the interest of the poll for the weekly on a subject “At the heart of public debate”.

"We consider that it is in our DNA not to try to break the thermometer on subjects that would disturb, but rather to take the temperature" he launched, rejecting the "trial in Puritanism no doubt drawn up by people who have not read our article ”.
