My astonishment was however going to still increase with the reading of the Petit Robert. I discovered that the phallus was not used for only in the form of the "phalloid" adjective to indicate a mortal mushroom. Phallus as such indicates a mushroom to be strictly accurate. Thus I live impudic names of phallus or phalli of dog which indicated mushrooms basidiomycetes of phallic form and with the nauseous odor (stinking, or cadaveric odor I noted).

But there is no "natural" reason to wear it inside the classrooms or when it can be dangerous (machines) or to refuse to do sport in light clothes, even with a tolerated scarf, because there are boys or other "impudic" girls in a gymnasium or a swimming pool. So, IMO the scarf can't be banned totally when used as a protection or piece of fashion.
