Well , what did you expect from a Roman Polanski's supporter ? Of course a man have the right to flirt , court or seduce a woman but he should also be able to take a hint and leave her alone if she's not interested. NO means NO !

cherry68 Catherine said a few months ago that what Polanski did to Samantha Geimer "wasn't exactly a rape" (according to her the use of the word "rape was not appropriate") , that people were and are still overeacting and that she could understand Polanski's attraction to that girl :"She may have been 13 but she could have easily passed for a 15 or 16 yeared-old . Roman has always liked very young women."

And that, my friends, is why the french can be unbearable sometimes. They won't wase a second to bash american people for being stupid (which they can be sometimes) and think they're so intelectually elevated 'cause they drink wine since 12 years old, and then they'll say some stupid shit like this. Oh, my, my...

Isn't the age of consent there really young like 13 or 15. I remember some story about voting for age of consent in Paris. I was still playing with my Barbie at 13.

It's 15 in France even though a lot of people still think it's too young . That being said , a 44 yeared-old man had no business drugging and f@cking a teenager !

Last year NY got rid of a law where it was legal for 14 year olds to get married to adults. There are only 9 states in u.s. where the age of consent is 18.

What's the age of consent in the USA ( and more specifically in California ) ? 16 or 17, right ? And Polanski did break the law : 1/ gave drugs to a minor who was 13 2/ banged her without her consent which is RAPE ; even if it were consensual sex , it would still have been against the law

I found a chart dated 2007, so could be different now but age of consent in Canada is 14. The youngest in u.s is 15...colorodo. In california, didn't know this but as long as you have parents permission, you can get married. Wow. So a 12 year old can get married to.some 30 year old as long as parents say okay?

I think both sides have gone about this all wrong. I think the #MeToo stuff is conflating serious crimes with minor offenses, yes. But the excerpts I'm reading of that letter (I haven't read the whole thing, does anyone know where it is?) make it seem very poorly written. Yes, getting felt up on the Metro IS A PROBLEM, GOSH. And of course, the #MeToo response to this poorly written letter is to claim that it's a bunch of rich white women that don't understand what the common woman is going through, and implying that they like all sexual attention unless it's from black people. Look, I honestly believe that some men are being forced out for pretty much nothing. Garrison Keillor and John Lasseter, for instance. I get where Deneuve & company are coming from. But both sides need to cool down on the rhetoric.

Deneuve is and will always be an iconic actress but her attitude has been disgusting lately. And to think that she had the nerve once to criticize Jane Fonda for being "the epitome of what she dislikes the most about the bourgeoisie"

After reading the manifest, I totally understand the scandal: it’s full of sense.

The Polanski comment is pretty messed up but I don't really see what's wrong with what she said in the link in the OP.
