      So Catherine Millet (along with other privileged white women) has doubled down on her earlier remarks, citing a new wave of 'puritanism' on the part of women who don't want to be sexually harassed anymore.

      Unbelievable that France is taking a step backwards in this regard, when America has finally got its act together. These women are not feminists. #metoo #BalanceTonPorc

      This may be the country of all the best Simones (Veil, de Beauvoir), of "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman", but it is still the country where the pernicious idea that feminism = not liking sex persists.

      The open letter in @lemonde actually talks about "la morale victorienne". I am honestly disgusted that the signatories could equate the desire NOT to receive lewd remarks or unwanted touching with the frigidity associated with the Victorian era.http://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2018/01/09/nous-defendons-une-liberte-d-importuner-indispensable-a-la-liberte-sexuelle_5239134_3232.html#gkily3q6B2iT15yG.99 …

      They also fall back on that cliché beloved of 'Incel' Reddit forums, that women will only cry harassment when they don't fancy the man in return. This is a crude interpretation that ignores myriad circumstantial factors.

          And how terrifying that they are actually using misogynistic language and arguments themselves, in particular when they trot out the tired trope that feminists are man-hating and sexually-repressed Victorians.

          "Nous sommes aussi suffisamment clairvoyantes pour ne pas confondre drague maladroite et agression sexuelle." Les femmes, peut-être, mais je suis désolée de vous dire que pour certains hommes la différence n'existe pas. #BalanceTonPorc

          What I hate is this French brand of feminism which says, 'Men will be men, what can you do?' My feminism doesn't heap scorn on men, or pander to this notion that they are controlled by their hormones.

          My feminism recognises that men are intelligent beings not (solely) driven by lust, and they are capable of telling the difference between flirtation and harassment. That they are entirely capable of realising when their attentions are appreciated or reciprocated.
