The #MeToo phenomenon is rapidly getting out of hand. What used to be "Game" is rapidly becoming sexual harassment (especially if the woman does not find you attractive!). There is an interesting article in the NYT where famous French actress Catherine Deneuve and others are denouncing the #MeToo movement. Nice to see that some women "get it." Maybe uptight North American women could learn a few things from French women who know a thing or two about how "Game" and seduction work:
“Rape is a crime. But insistent or clumsy flirting is not a crime, nor is gallantry a chauvinist aggression,” the letter, dated Monday, begins. “As a result of the Weinstein affair, there has been a legitimate realization of the sexual violence women experience, particularly in the workplace, where some men abuse their power. It was necessary. But now this liberation of speech has been turned on its head.”
They contend that the #MeToo movement has led to a campaign of public accusations that have placed undeserving people in the same category as sex offenders without giving them a chance to defend themselves.
They write: “This expedited justice already has its victims, men prevented from practicing their profession as punishment, forced to resign, etc., while the only thing they did wrong was touching a knee, trying to steal a kiss, or speaking about ‘intimate’ things at a work dinner, or sending messages with sexual connotations to a woman whose feelings were not mutual.”
