Action in France on affirmative action to protect women from wolf whistling and assault.
Aka "Coming to a Neighbourhood Close to You".
Man jailed for 3 months in Paris for slapping woman’s bottom [rt.com]
I wonder how long before all compliments end up being cause for complaint, court, fine and gaol?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Isaac Asimov freely admitted that he used to goose women bottoms (assault) as a gesture of appreciation. Isn't a gesture of appreciation a compliment?

Wolf whistling and slapping bottom's aka assault are not compliments.

But a slap on the back or arm grasp is?
I personally will not tolerate a stranger slappin' my butt. Men really do need to get a fucking clue. IT IS NOT okay to just touch women they do not know.
I realize this is an odd concept to some males; MANY women do not like it.
Wolf whistle are not as offensive but trust me it most likely will not get you any points.
Oh! and the fat beer gut hangin' over the belt, ass-crack showing, unshaved slobs in stained t-shirts who think it's funny? Your look NEVER got a girl wet.

Physically assaulting a stranger is a crime, it does not matter what the motivation was, if it was intentional it is assault. It can be dealt with by personal means, verbally or physically (I know from experience some women can pack a hell of a punch) or you can call the police and quite right too.
However
Now as to the other part of the alleged crime, if some one calls me fat ass on a bus, I am not going to call the police and waste their time, I'd think what a dick, and leave it at that. It's not nice but it is the irrelevant rantings of a drunken buffoon.
Frankly the police have better things to do (or should, though I am sure a lot of "officers" would far rather deal with a wolf whistler, than a machete wielding bank robber and so love these new "crimes" )
