Actress Catherine Deneuve and 99 other French women have denounced a backlash against men following the Harvey Weinstein scandal, saying the #MeToo campaign against sexual harassment amounts to "puritanism" and is fuelled by a "hatred of men".

Thousands of women are taking to social media to share their stories of sexual harassment using the #MeToo hashtag.
"This urge to send men to the slaughterhouse, instead of helping women be more autonomous, helps the enemies of sexual freedom," the 100 women, including 74-year old Deneuve, one of France's most famous screen stars, said in a column published by Le Monde daily.

The man's right to "pester" a woman was an essential part of sexual freedom, they said, describing the campaign as "puritanism".

"This vigilante (online) justice has punished men in their jobs, forced some to resign, when all they did was touch a knee, try to steal a kiss, talk about 'intimate' matters in a work dinner," they wrote.

"We defend a right to pester, which is vital to sexual freedom."

“Far from helping women to become independent, this ... in reality serves the interests of the enemies of sexual freedom, religious extremists, the worst reactionaries and those who believe in the name of Victorian morality that women are children with the faces of adults.”

They said that the post-Weinstein awakening to abusive men was justified. “But insistent or clumsy pick-up attempts are not a crime and gallantry is not male aggression.” Puritans, they wrote, were using the old technique of “arguing for the protection of women ... in order to chain them down in their status of eternal victims, of poor little things under the power of male chauvinist devils like in the good old days of witchcraft”.

Men were being forced to repent for inappropriate behaviour up to 30 years ago, they noted. Works of art, including paintings by Egon Schiele and Balthus, and films such as Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up, faced censorship in the name of a “wave of purification”. The women said they wanted nothing to do with a feminism which “assumes the face of hatred of men and of sexuality”. The sex drive “is by nature offensive and untamed but we are sufficiently clear-sighted not to confuse a clumsy pick-up attempt with sexual aggression”. If women were free to refuse a sexual advance, men must be given the right to importune them, they said. “You have to know how to respond ... other than locking yourself into the role of prey.”

There was no conflict between being serious and enjoying one’s sexuality, they said. “A woman can, in the same day, direct a professional team and enjoy being the sex object of a man without being a slut or a vile accomplice of the patriarchy.”

As mothers, the women said they brought up their daughters to enjoy life without being intimidated or made to feel shameful. Physical events that could hurt women must not turn them into perpetual victims. “We cannot be reduced to our bodies. Our interior freedom is inviolable,” they said.

French feminists have long argued that many “Anglo-Saxon” militants for women’s rights are driven by a hatred of men, and deny female sexuality.

Men don't have a 'right' to pester women. It is simply a choice, which is an essential part of sexual freedom. But, there is no 'right'.

We recognise that pestering is part of sexual freedom, but it is not a right to do so.

Pat is absolutely spot on. Women, you are the canaries in the mine. You will be the first victims of Western cultural and demographic transformation.

This video was removed by a fake feminist at YouTube two hours after upload. It was restored three days later, but is still hidden on the site and does not show up in searches. Please share this direct link, as it's the only way it can be seen.

Nobody’s feelings were consulted during the making of this video. Anyone who has a problem with that can drop dead.

Impugned and silenced by feminism, men stoically go on doing the dirtiest, most dangerous and thankless work in modern society.

— Camille Paglia

...

“Be it Resolved: Men are Obsolete.” That was the topic of a recent Toronto debate. Maureen Dowd and Hanna Rosin defended the resolution. Camille Paglia and Caitlin Moran were opposed.  Much of the commentary was tongue-in-cheek. Dowd noted, for example, that men have played so recklessly with the globe “they nearly broke it.” So, she said, we are going in a new direction. “Heck, men wouldn’t even ask for directions.” But it was Camille Paglia’s electrifying opening statement that stole the show:

If men are obsolete, then women will soon be extinct—unless we rush down that ominous Brave New World path where females will clone themselves by parthenogenesis, as famously do Komodo dragons, hammerhead sharks, and pit vipers.

A peevish, grudging rancor against men has been one of the most unpalatable and unjust features of second- and third-wave feminism.  Men’s faults, failings and foibles have been seized on and magnified into gruesome bills of indictment.  Ideologue professors at our leading universities indoctrinate impressionable undergraduates with carelessly fact-free theories alleging that gender is an arbitrary, oppressive fiction with no basis in biology.

Paglia not only defended men, she had a rare good word for free market capitalism and its benefits to the fair sex. In her words:

History must be seen clearly and fairly: obstructive traditions arose not from men’s hatred or enslavement of women but from the natural division of labor that had developed over thousands of years during the agrarian period and that once immensely benefited and protected women, permitting them to remain at the hearth to care for helpless infants and children.  Over the past century, it was labor-saving appliances, invented by men and spread by capitalism, that liberated women from daily drudgery.

To quote Paglia again:

Indeed, men are absolutely indispensable right now, invisible as it is to most feminists, who seem blind to the infrastructure that makes their own work lives possible. It is overwhelmingly men who do the dirty, dangerous work of building roads, pouring concrete, laying bricks, tarring roofs, hanging electric wires, excavating natural gas and sewage lines, cutting and clearing trees, and bulldozing the landscape for housing developments.  It is men who heft and weld the giant steel beams that frame our office buildings, and it is men who do the hair-raising work of insetting and sealing the finely tempered plate-glass windows of skyscrapers 50 stories tall.  Every day along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, one can watch the passage of vast oil tankers and towering cargo ships arriving from all over the world.  These stately colossi are loaded, steered, and off-loaded by men. The modern economy, with its vast production and distribution network, is a male epic, in which women have found a productive role–but women were not its author.  Surely, modern women are strong enough now to give credit where credit is due!

Being totally serious, a woke Snow White film is actually what we need right now to empower our movement. We have to continue to let men know that they are replaceable in this day and age. I also hope Snow White sleeps around a lot. That would be the icing on the cake.
https://twitter.com/AngelaBelcamino/status/1690757719723008000



The obnoxious, narcissistic conceit here is that an expensive film based on a classic tale for children should exist to “empower our movement,” and affirm the politics of lippy harridans.  Obnoxious, narcissistic bints want to re-write a tale that is to a large extent a warning against female narcissism and spite.

Oh, the obnoxious, narcissistic ironing!
