“Calm down, have a glass of cold water”, on the set of BFMTV, Julien Odoul makes a sexist remark to Manon Aubry

And Mister sexism 2024 is… Julien Odoul! Several elected officials were invited to debate immigration law on the BFMTV set, Tuesday December 17, during the program The BFM Assemblyincluding the deputy of the National Rally (RN). While the rebellious MP Manon Aubry denounced the permanent and harmful amalgam made by the extreme right “between immigration and insecurity, between immigration and sexual violence”, Julien Odoul visibly felt targeted by incessantly cutting the words of the member who was trying to continue her remarks.

A paternalistic lexicon

The latter ended up getting angry: “You know what, I’m tired now of you not letting me finish my sentences. That’s actually enough! That’s enough! » And Julien Odoul blurted out: “Calm down, relax Madame Aubry, have a glass of cold water!” You are talking nonsense. »

Words which recall those of the former Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin facing Apolline de Malherbe: “Calm down, it’s going to be okay”. This type of expression is part of a paternalistic lexicon aimed at demeaning women, making them appear “hysterical” and thus preventing them from expressing themselves, which is very rarely the case when a man loses his temper over a tray.

Presenter Benjamin Duhamel quickly called Julien Odoul to order: “ You have had the floor and I remind you that in a discussion we do not address people, from a stronger to the two women who are on this set, telling them “calm down, drink a glass of water”. This is unacceptable. »

On : “The far-left MP @ManonAubry loses his nerve live when I denounce the lies of #LFI ».

The RN, which claims to defend women’s rights, is visibly incapable of using anything other than sexist rhetoric to debate with its female opponents.
