    I was going to make a glib joke about how tolerant French elites are of child molesters when I suddenly thought about Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew, the BBC & the global Catholic church.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/28/world/europe/france-literary-prizes-matzneff.html?smid=tw-share …

        Western culture certainly, and humanity in general, has built itself on the sexual and economic exploitation of its own young

        The difference in France is that Matzneff was doing it out in the open, wrote diaries about it; he even talked about it on literary shows. Everybody knew about it, and there has always been a vocal contingent arguing this was not only normal but should be made legal as well.

        In all the other cases, knowledge of those activities was reserved to a closed circle, and their revelation led to unmitigated scorn and opprobrium in the world at large. In France (see also: Polanski), this was casually discussed in the country's most respectable broadsheets.

        Foucault, Sartre, Derrida, Deleuze, Barthes, Althusser, de Beauvoir, Robbe-Grillet and others all believed in essentially the same things as Matzneff and supported laws that would have made crimes like his legal.
