Good. I think American women are far too permissive about this behavior from men, as long as it comes from men they find attractive. I think this type of fine needs to be introduced here as well. There is no excuse for any well-bred man to catcall.
I had a girl grab my package at a concert once. Somehow I got over the trauma and have lived a full life ever since.
Once.
Not over and over and over for years.
And you were likely bigger and stronger than she.
I wish guys would at least attempt to look at it from the woman’s POV, but I guess if a man doesn’t think it’s important or offensive it must just be trivial.

l.
Women are just as strong as men! Ask any feminist. lol
And there's no comparison between GRABBING a person's private parts to whistling!!! This law is not about grabbing, but VERBAL stuff. I can absolutely look at it from a woman's pov. I simply imagine women whistling at me.....I can live with that. Even the fat unattractive one's. Good for my ego. Reminds me of celebrities complaining about adoring fans trying to talk to them. What a bunch of snowflakes these supposed "strong" women are.
And what does being stronger than someone have to do with anything? What's his response supposed to be? Punch her in the face and end up with felony assault charges? Good luck in front a judge trying to explain you punched a woman in the face because she molested you. You better have it on video. Hell, terry crews was afraid to hit a MAN because of how he would be perceived as big black man assaulting a white guy. It's not socially acceptable to strike a woman. I've SEEN women grabbing/pinching strange guys butts. I can just imagine how many times brad pitt has been grabbed.
I think that is textbook anti-free speech. Just more signs that Europe is going too far left for its own good.
Sure, cat calling in any form is dorky and probably irritating to a lot of women, but it shouldn't be a crime. You can't outlaw being a jerk, most humans are jerks, women included.

Too many guys think it will mean they'll get fined just asking a woman out...apparently not understanding the difference between an inquiry versus a crude come on - and one that is meant more to demean and make him look good in front of the guys than to even actually get a date. Like they ever get a date from a catcall

I hope they will learn the difference. Or make the fines a line item in their budget.
Some of those guys may be starting threads on some internet site wondering why they can’t get any girls.
Generally speaking, rude behavior and unwanted contact is only harassment after the aggrieved party has expressed that said behavior is unwanted, and then said behavior is repeated. That's already covered under harassment laws.
So if this cat-calling qualifies as harassment, then why does it need it's own law? Why not prosecute under existing law?
Unless of course what you're trying to outlaw is *not* in fact harassment under any current legal definition...
