Man becomes first person convicted of sexism under new Belgian law - SuperFlyBCat - 03-08-2018 07:56 AM A man has been convicted of sexism in a public place for the first time under a new law in Belgium. A court in Brussels fined him €3,000 for insulting a police officer because of her gender, Le Soir reported. It comes as France prepares to create an offence of street harassment, described as “sexist and sexual outrage”. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/belgium-sexism-law-public-place-man-first-convicted-brussels-fined-police-gender-a8242706.html PARIS — Cat-callers, wolf-whistlers and harassers of the world, beware. Marlène Schiappa, France’s junior minister for gender equality, is on a mission to hunt you down, by making unwanted public advances to women a punishable offense. In the midst of a growing backlash against harassers, Schiappa’s initiative aims to put France on the global vanguard of anti-harassment legislation, by defining a practice that’s rarely encoded in law. It’s an ambitious, if thorny, undertaking that’s part of a wider push by President Emmanuel Macron and the 35-year-old former activist for working moms to combat violence against women not just in France, but across Europe. https://www.politico.eu/article/france-gender-equality-well-make-cat-calling-a-punishable-offense/ RE: Man becomes first person convicted of sexism under new Belgian law - Jugnaut - 03-08-2018 07:59 AM (03-08-2018 07:56 AM)SuperFlyBCat Wrote: A man has been convicted of sexism in a public place for the first time under a new law in Belgium. Just another reason why Europe is going to sh*t. Free speech = gone. Thought crimes codified. Check.

RE: Man becomes first person convicted of sexism under new Belgian law - SuperFlyBCat - 03-08-2018 08:36 AM I am starting to think that the Muslims might have it right. Women stay off of the streets, burqua, need permission to go places. RE: Man becomes first person convicted of sexism under new Belgian law - Bull_Is_Back - 03-08-2018 11:25 AM €3,000... To put this in perspective, full-time employees receives a gross average salary of 3,300 euros per month. That's the same as a $2,500 fine in the US.
