Catherine Deneuve defends men hitting on women

Deneuve and probably the other women who signed the Le Monde letter attacking the movement belong to a different generation, in which grotesque advances by men were viewed as something women had to endure in order to get along with men who, poor devils, are too awkward and childish to be believed. You must, therefore, have a LOT of patience and forgive them elegantly even if there are some excesses in the flirting, n'est-ce pas? But that's their old reality, it's passé,  not ours, thank god. Also, as predictable as it is, accusing the MeToo movement of 'puritanism' is clearly a (not so subtle) manisfestation of a classic French anti-Americanism imo. Though I agree it might have been some little excesses here and there and opportunism is also a reality in the movement, saying that being touched in the subway is almost an non-issue makes me want to laugh hysterically. That's NOT defending sexual liberty whatsoever, as they are pathetically claiming. Deneuve probably never had to take the 'metro', non?
