There are some great documentaries that show how unpleasant it can be as a woman to walk through a city. It's awful.
How do we go about remedying this situation without making criminals out of anyone who has a spur-of-the-moment interaction with a stranger a potential criminal? I think that's an important question, and I wonder how (if?) this French law addresses it.
- joelbluminator 8y agoif you ask directions from someone no one will put you in jail. if you're yelling sexual or harassing shit to someone who's walking by you then it's a problem. Where is the grey area?
- mamurphy 8y agoPresumably somewhere between those two polar opposite examples.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoThat’s why we have courts and flexibility in legal systems. I’d argue that it’s impossible to build an objective description of what actions constitute harassment. Most interactions are going to clearly fall on one side or the other. The ones that don’t, we’ll figure out.
