>>2775129Ah, good ol’ fashioned French misogyny. For the Frenchman, a woman is both an equal in the realms of law and fraternite on the top of being a dolled-up whore for which he has no use for other than to cater to the fantasies of Frenchmen and their diverse perversions ooh la la.
Then again, France is the very epitome of bourgeois to the eyes of strangers, although it has some foundations as the country is full of semi-sophisticated reactionary hicks ruled over by a more technocratic elite whose aristocracy was already integrated within the post-ancien regime republican government after the failure of the Paris commune.
As one wise frog said: “The French may speak for the left, but their money lies on the right”
Indeed, whether it’s Foucault, Macron, Melenchon, and whatnot, they start with different ideologies only to end up at their system’s most conservative conclusions.
So it is to no one’s surprise that, despite the liberalism of the bourgeois French Revolution, not only do French employers treat their employees in the old aristocratic ways that even republicucks would see as abysmal, but its biggest protests ever prior to the yellow vests were the 2015 protests against gay marriage.
If it wasn’t for Roe v Wade getting repealed by the dreaded MAGAproles, then I doubt the French extremist republican government that has taken the Catholic church’s place as the arbiter of all truth in the eyes of the French people would have encoded abortion rights into its constitution.
In all seriousness tho, I often hear France as this libertine and sexually liberal enlightened atheist place, but not only were French politicians prudish about Femen (unlike Putin who gave a thumbs up when he saw a pair of Femen titties) but apparently France has adopted the dumb “Nordic model” on prostitution on the top of putting age ID on porn sites. Is it because of MeToo or something?
Because Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark have very liberal laws on prostitution and brothels despite being generally atheistic and feminist. So why did France diverge? Any Euro-comrade gringo care to enlighten me on this weird discrepancy?
