France's "Me too" campaign may come with legislation
French Twitter is awash with #BalanceTonPorc — “expose your pig” — stories of sexual harassment and assault. Meanwhile, the gender minister is proposing fines for street harassment. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/10/18/16490818/france-me-too-weinstein-sexual-harassment
@Jadyjah The hashtag #BalanceTonPorc is funnier than the English translation suggests. The plain reading of the phrase is "throw out your ham", like if you have some old sausage in the back of your fridge that's getting moldy and turning green and you need to pitch it. Given the slang meanings of the words though, it can also mean "denounce your jackass" or, as Vox translated it, "expose your pig".
Time clean the fridge.
