Party at Dominique Strauss Kahn’s tonight!

France eliminated sexual harassment from the penal code. From the article, in French (translation mine):

The Constitutional Council decided on Friday the immediate repeal of the law on sexual harassment that was considered too vague, effectively creating a loophole called catastrophic by feminist organizations. Today, all pending proceedings for sexual harassment have been canceled.

For an illustration of who is behind this Constitutional Council, see here their photos and bios (out of 11 members, 9 are men).

So, you know, effective today, it is actually legal to sexually harass women in France.
