France to fine men €90 or more for public wolf whistles
| The goal is to battle the long-standing problem of so-called "everyday sexism" on France's streets.
The politicians who worked on the report were tasked with defining what constitutes "sexual outrage" and how to punish it.
Earlier reports suggested wolf-whistling would be subject to on-the-spot fines, but there is no mention of this in the new parliamentary report, according to La Croix newspaper.

| Go France!
| Add another country to the police state list.
| I just mean they're censoring everything. Directly harassing, threatening, stalking, etc. people is bad, but a wolf whistle? A 90 euro fine for *whistling*?
Shit, I wish people whistled at me.

Feels like people just find any reason to cry "police state" nowadays. Anytime I see someone make this comment about the US, I point out that in the UK you can't buy plastic knives unless you show ID, and in Singapore, you can get jailed and sued for insulting a politician.
And in Iran you get shot if you're gay.
| Not that the US doesn't have its own share of issues, but police state it is not.
| Jesus.
| Europe has been on a cultural and political decline since WWII. This should not come as a surprise. The pendulum continues to swing. Left to right, left to right.
They will either face a backlash like the US did with the election of President Trump, or the masses will respond differently.
There will never be peace.
There is nothing new under the sun.
| Look at all the fat incels crying "Police State".

To be honest, this seems like SJWs and oversensitive "revolutionists" have swarmed the lawdecision making.
| meh cat calling or whatever you call it is stupid anyway

| France could hit men with minimum €90 fines if they are caught making loud and lewd comments in public places about a woman's body or appearance, under new proposals put forward to the government to tackle the scourge of street harassment.
A new government report recommends the €90 fine for "behavior that is an infringement of the freedom of movement of women in public spaces and undermines self-esteem and the right to security."
