A new law banning cat-calling and harassment of women on French streets will see men fined on the spot for lecherous and aggressive behaviour, France's women's minister said Monday.

The legislation is being piloted by 34-year-old Marlene Schiappa, a feminist and early supporter of French President Emmanuel Macron who wants to tackle sexist male attitudes in public spaces.

France needs a women’s minister?

If a gal smiled at a cute guy, would she be tossed in jail? Quick, inform France’s men’s minister.

No, she’s been on this bandwagon for a while.

What happens when they realize that all those fined are from muzzy countries? Throw in a few thousand innocent White men walking by minding their own business?

Muslims exempted?

[Uncle Miltie]

No due process ... what could possibly go wrong?

Back in the 50's and 60s, my dear departed Dad was a bar owner. He would not allow unescorted women in his bar.

His philosophy: "Women alone in a bar is nuthin' but trouble!"

Hard to imagine, but it was never even challenged back then.

Oops - sorry for the double post.

LOL - we were in Massachusetts, about 60 miles west of Boston in the small town of Sturbridge. Good times..

I don’t think this is against construction workers. It can be basically like being raped when Muslim men start touching public women. They can follow you home and harass you outside your apartment, which happened to me when I lived there as a student.

My dad tended bar for many years as a side job.

He told me to never, never go in to a bar alone or sit at the bar. He also warned me about watching my drinks.

I know Sturbridge well.

In those days I would have considered Sturbridge as remote to me as Boise,Idaho. :-)
