21-year-old French actress Camille Regnier was taking the Paris Metro when she found a man touching himself leering at her. Regnier posted the photo and her ordeal on Facebook publicly shaming her harasser and it immediately went viral.
“When he was masturbating, the guy was staring at me in the window of the metro, not directly at me. Damn it. Yesterday, I was assaulted in the metro by some asshole, he was so close to me I grabbed him by the neck and today!!! I was watching a video on my phone and I saw him masturbating when I looked up! I talked to him, he said nothing, and ran away. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM???? Yesterday I was wearing jeans and boots and today I was wearing a long skirt… I never make eye contact with them. What’s wrong with respect?? Is it because that I’m a woman that I have to experience your evil perversity every day? I’m tired of living in this city,” she wrote.

Regnier’s post caught the attention of Police as well as Facebook – while the Paris police identified her abuser and arrested him, Facebook deleted the post for its explicit content.
“The police told me that I had not made the right move by posting his image on Facebook. The problem with the justice system is that if you react against your abuser, it is you who go to jail, so complain, do nothing and wait… I’m tired of what happens and so angry. If I had to complain every time this happens, I’d spend my life talking to the police, ” she told BuzzFeed France.
According to a French study published in April, 100 percent of females said they’d been sexually assaulted or harassed at least once on public transportation.

15 years ago he would’ve been laughed out of town wearing those shoes. What has happened to Paris?
I think it’s long overdue that women face serious punishments for acting out against sexual actions. When will women understand that the less clothes they wear or the more they portray their sexiness, the more men will look at them sexually. How can these psycho females continue this path of self rightiousness without any punishment?
So men have no self control? This isn’t about pyscho females on a path of self righteouness, this is about men having respect for their fellow human kind. Keep it in your pants! (At least until you are at home in private)
did you dare say respect feminism has no respect for men who are not pieces of shit
Lol don’t feed the troll. If this guy is actually serious, he is far beyond reasoning with. You can’t reason with monkies..
Yeah you can. Science.
But she stated she wasn’t wearing anything “sexy”; she was wearing jeans and boots one day and a long skirt the other. I’m a “pretty” girl when I clean up and am harassed like this regularly, unless I go out in a oversized shirt, tabogan and pj pants. My cousin had a guy do this to her while showing him a house a few months ago (she was wearing a business suit, him jacking off when she turned around in his jacket).
If a man sexually assaults, intimidates or harasses a woman, it is because there is something wrong with that man.
It is NEVER a womans’ fault for being sexually assaulted, intimidated or harassed by a man. It is the fault of that man entirely.
Woman should never face punishment for acting out against unwanted sexual actions from any man.
If men look at women sexually, it is entirely their responsibility to control their behaviour. It is never ok to force yourself on to a woman, or anyone else, just because you find them attractive.
No means no.
Woman are not psycho for not wanting you.
Women who do wear appropriate clothing still get harassed by little f***s like you who have no respect for anyone. Sure, a girl really shouldn’t wear shorts that show half of their ass in public, but it’s up to us guys not to harass them and assault them if they do. You’ll get nowhere in life like that.
Let’s focus on the case at hand and not change the subject, trying to escape the real problem by creating a stupid situation 😉 which we all know would happen in only 1% of the cases, that won’t get you anywhere in life.
Just to clarify what is the 1% of cases you are talking about?
As a man, I am at complete odds with your statement. There’s many beautiful girls who live around me, some I see on the metro every day. I get on, talk to them, and go about my business. I don’t gawk at them, I don’t flirt with them, I respect them, and they respect me. The problem isn’t what girls always wear, it’s the guys always thinking sexually that’s the problem. That’s like a child rapist, saying he only did it because of the way the parents dressed their little girl. Stop thinking with your dick, and start realizing the problem isn’t what girls wear. Just because a girl wants to dress a bit revealing, doesn’t mean you have to constantly stare, I can resist the urge, hell, I don’t even have an urge, so that must make me more of a man than you and I’m only 20. Please don’t reproduce…
You, my friend, are an idiot. I was 9 yrs old, no boobs, no interest and i got my first glimpse at the perversity of man. You use that as an excuse to do what YOU want.
Obviously your case is totally different 😉
These behaviors are not about sex/ sexuality it is about objectification and control. Seeing another person as a source of satisfaction or not having rights or personal feelings that you are violating is disassociation. Since she is asking for her rights to be respected then techniquely she does she for the idealism feminism represents.
Exactly. It is common human nature to find someone attractive and want to have sex with them. That’s just a basic social behavior and it is also completely normal (and I would say acceptable) to have sexual fantasies or thoughts about someone who says no to you or that you aren’t going to have sex with. Looking at a guy or girl and finding them attractive is not the problem, that’s basic human instinct. The problem comes from the fact that there is no respect for a woman’s right to say no, and to not only be a sexual object. Men objectify women and women are sometimes powerless to stop it. That men think they are entitled to sex with whomever they choose. She isn’t asking for men to stop being sexually attracted to her, she is asking men to take her rights and feelings into consideration and not do stupid things.
