What, historically, makes French people the way that they are?

I always keep coming back to this article, and how it says there was a big pushback against the strict sexuality of the catholic church among the elite in France. It's specifically about p*dos, but applies to all sexual violence I think. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/10/matzneff-scandal-france-consent-literary-establishment.

I'm gonna check it out, thank you!

[artsyfartsy01]

wow that was both horrifying and informative, thank you!

[miwa201]

nadine trintignant signing this is crazy considering what happened to her daughter

[misoras]

Oh wow. And his career wasn’t ended either.

[miwa201]

not to mention that his partner after marie ended up committing suicide and she said he was abusive towards her

[misoras]

Yep, I read that he had a solo hit song in France in 2017 despite both deaths. What a mess.

ETA sorry but lmao: 'When Gérard Depardieu is attacked in this way, it is art that is being attacked.' He pissed on a plane!

France, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely _______

Maybe wine and cheese but I’m lactose intolerant and I only like port and tokaji and they don’t come from that land so you know. Get rid of it.

The French need to value their art more than that

[alex_haruko]

I laughed at that, he isn't representative of art. He's just an actor and that doesn't give him freedom from the consequences of his acts

[steffi_333]

A dozen women. A dozen. And enough evidence to go to trial

[mayjailer]

this is bone-chilling. jfc.

[irajaxon]

too many. rapes. to count.

i don't even know what to say. how can anyone defend a man who openly and freely admits something like this.

[coquettishkat]

this is so scary

[sandstorm]

When we attack Gérard like this, it is art that we are attacking

art is not synonymous with rape, french people, damn.
