A comment on France Bans Street Harassment, Approving Hefty Fines for Catcallers. Parent comment
The following wouldn't be a strong argument for removing the laws against robbery:
What if I accidentally get accused of robbery because I pick up someone's belonging to return it to them when they had left it somewhere.
I would rather have robbery laws and deal with these cases as they arise than not have robbery laws at all. Same goes for harrasment.
