It is being debated in France whether to accept a law that will fine street harassment:

Paris (CNN)Men who catcall, harass or follow women on the street in France could face on-the-spot fines under a new sexual-abuse law planned by the country's minister for gender equality.


But she says there has been plenty of opposition to her plans.
"We still find men who say ... 'It's French culture, it's love à la française.' They don't want the law to say it's not allowed. There is cultural resistance.
"They're afraid we are forbidding them to talk to women. I think it's really important to have that debate, to say 'It's ok to talk but, it's not ok to assault, there is a real difference.'"


What do you think? Should catcalls or following women around be forbidden by law?
