Yes, there is a Statute MCL 750.337. Since the late 1800s it has been a law that it is unlawful to curse or swear in front of women or children. However People v. Boomer, 250 Mich. App. 534; 655 NW 2d 255 (2002) while stating that the Legislature could adopt such a prohibition, held the STATUTE was vague and UNCONSTITUTIONAL . (I disagree, but that is the ruling of a panel (SAWYER, P.J., and MURPHY and HOEKSTRA, J.) of the Michigan Court of Appeals. The former writer then stated: "Understandable, but a bit sexist and old fashioned if you ask me. What happened to equal rights? How come someone can swear in front of a man but not a woman? Its still rude no matter if your male or female." ~ We man do not exercise our role of protectors of women and children any longer. Stand for those you are supposed to protect, you wimps!
