Brickbat: Oh, L'amour

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to hire an additional 10,000 police officers and Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa wants them to fight sexism on the streets, which includes men talking to women they don't know. She also says a 5,000-euro fine would be appropriate for such behavior.

And here I thought the goal of putting tens of thousands of cops on the street was to *protect* people from prudish totalitarian psychopaths.
That's so 20th century.
I guess it's the same theory as welfare: if you have the government rob the rich and oppress the libertine, it's so much safer and more efficient than when the mob has to do it themselves.
"Equality Minister"
AAHHH!

"which includes men talking to women they don't know"
And people think it's the Muslims that are killing France's native-born birth rate.
Pepe Le Pew hardest hit.
Only police can talk to women they don't know.
Half of that is true. But fear not, dear Frog Minister of Feminism, it shan't be long before those are transformed into morality police and it will be the women showing too much and unaccompanied by a male relative who will be getting the fines.
You don't hear anything about a "Culture of Rape" in majority Religion of Peace countries do you? Nor are there scads of gay rights activists complaining about their civil rights being violated the way we backwards savages in the West have. And note there's no Middle Eastern equivalent of a Donald Trump, no need when obviously everybody's happy with the status quo.

Whats even more striking is that they are intent on importing more and more people from the rapey 'religion-of-peace'.
France is a dystopian nightmare. Marl?ne Schiappa is a feminist mommy-blogger.
Equality Minister
'The fuck?
wants them to fight sexism on the streets, which includes men talking to women they don't know.
"Hi, how are you?"
"You sexist PIG!"

I see France is going to hell in a hand-basket. They do realize that 1984 is a novel/warning and not a guide right?

Next thing will be the red sashes.
?5,000? That could by a shit ton of carbon credits.
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
Request permission from the crown.
Oh wait.
off with their heads...
Hope for reinstatement of prima nocta? Sends like the only safe way of getting any.
Never talk to anybody the 1st time.
Oye,
No wonder the guy I know in Paris wanted me to fly there and become his sex-trafficking victim.
Would. But not for 5000 euros.
