“Florence Foresti’s declaration of love to men”
Do you remember this subtitle, that of an interview with the comedian in question on the show “C à Vous” this year? The stand-up legend then came to present his show #BoysBoysBoys and defended against Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine… Men.
Declaring in particular: “I want to add a little nuance to this subject. I wanted to pay homage to a certain part of the male population that I know and frequent, these men who are on the other side, feminists and who are the vast majority of men, don't mess around!“. A speech which did not really achieve consensus, remember.
And which is echoed today by the testimony of another actress: Camille Lellouche. And yes, because the actress in the middle of an interview actually explained: “Feminism is equality between men and women. Complementarity. I don't agree with a society that wants to push men to the limit. While there are still very good men…“
And these words cause a lot of reaction…
“Can someone give their boyfriend a cookie?” : Camille Lellouche's comments on “men who are afraid” divide
Camille Lellouche continued her speech.
By explaining not without a certain indignation: “There are a lot of assholes obviously. But I'm with a guy, for example, who's great. I don't like the idea of putting a man down. Because I don't like the idea of generalizing. And I have friends who are afraid to talk to women, who are afraid to talk to women in the street“
Which did not fail to divide…
The TikTok user stonemarten89, widely followed, quips: “Well done to your guy, we are currently making him a batch of cookies. Thank you Camille for this extremely relevant intervention that we all needed“.
In her video, the content creator recalls the reality of violence against women, sexist and sexual attacks, and feminicides. Which seems a bit more impactful than the image of men simply afraid to “talk to women in the street”. A certain imbalance which says a lot about our patriarchal society.
If Camille Lellouche delivers a few compliments to her husband, Florence Foresti also praised the virtues of her boyfriend, then of her father, “model of kindness and loyalty“, and those close to him, “extraordinary men“… As relentless illustrations of this “not all men”.
You know, “Not All Men” is this feminist expression used (ironically once again) to castigate those who insist on not putting “all guys in the same bag” even if it means avoiding gender issues. essential and the trivialization of sexism.
Minimizing, for example, that a recent figures report from the High Council for Gender Equality tells us that 37% of men in France consider feminism as “a threat“. A study can be found here. On TikTok again, feminist content creator Niemesia denounces: “This is a super indecent statement.“.
“It brings individuality back into a systemic problem. You've never been asked if your boyfriend is a good person, if he's ever whistled at a girl, or assaulted anyone. Nobody cares. And we don't care if men feel belittled“, denounces the influencer in this salutary rant.
Concluding with these very eloquent words: “Rather than being upset like that, you have to know how to show empathy at a time and put yourself in the other person's place. Because for women, feeling demeaned happens every day, in public spaces and in private spaces.
