Her book keeps getting sold out! I’m so eager to order one.
[–]FleetingDaisy[S] 138 points139 points140 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Yup, all because the French government was trying to ban it. It did not work, and her sales skyrocketed as a response :D

Yup, it only makes me want to read it even more! This woman got ovaries, love it.

French here. The government did not try to ban it. A relatively unimportant guy in a ministry suggested it should be.

Can't wait to receive my copy, so I looked up an excerpt. Here goes;
"I’m walking down a road on the outskirts of Nantes, minding my own business and fully engrossed in my podcast about female octopuses, when out of the corner of my eye I see a car pull up alongside me.
“Eh Mademoiselle!” a man shouts. Auto-program kicks in: keep walking, don’t make eye contact, try to ignore that feeling in the pit of my stomach."
This. All of this. This fucking experience that is a part of every woman's daily life. That fear when you realize that he's bigger, stronger, has a car and can do anything right now. If this alone isn't reason enough to dislike men, I don't know what is. It's not an isolated event, it's literally what you think about everytime you leave your house after sunset. Because you know odds are good that it will happen. Like, all you need is one paragraph to understand why men are a problem. And then there's an entire book.

Yep, exactly. Ask the times I've been jogging and a car passes me slowly and then pulls to the side of the road sitting there waiting for me to pass and I have to turn around and change my route. I am so fucking sick of it.

"But I can say I hate women because they don't touch my peepee."
[–]dzgataFDS Disciple47 points48 points49 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Woman: I hate men bc my father raped me since I was 3 and sold me to his friends so they could rape me.
Man: I hate womenzz bc they want to receive some sort of benefit in a relationship instead of simply agreeing to be my slave.
Spot the difference!

Women have a good reason to not like men. Why on earth should we like the people who abuse and exploit us???

It's available for preorder at the Barnes and Noble website, but unfortunately it doesn't allow us to choose "in store pick up" yet (otherwise you gotta pay shipping). I'll bookmark it for now, thank you for letting us know it's been translated!

I hope she isn't getting death threats. Scrotes do that to most feminist women that have a following.
[–]verusckaFDS Apprentice24 points25 points26 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
She definitely is, from men and women sadly

Not surprised, a bunch of well to do French women wrote and signed a manifesto denouncing the #MeToo movement.
"A woman can, in the same day, lead a professional team and enjoy being a man's sexual object, without being a "whore" or a vile accomplice of the patriarchy. She can make sure that her wages are equal to a man's but not feel forever traumatized by a man who rubs himself against her in the subway, even if that is regarded as an offense. She can even consider this act as the expression of a great sexual deprivation, or even as a non-event."
^^^ From the letter

[–]whatiidwbwyFDS Newbie24 points25 points26 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
There is no male equivalent to being sexually assaulted on the subway, but imagine the closest thing. A huge bodybuilder type gay man rubs himself against another, significantly smaller man. Do you think, for one second, the man who was assaulted would consider it a "non-event"?

I'd pay to watch how he "sees it as a compliment" or "can take a joke" or "it's not like he raped him" or any other chant that men and pickmes love to sing to apologize sexual violence of men against women. Most straight men require 10 years of therapy when another dude stands too close to them at the urinal.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Being upset by sexual assault and a complete disregard to your comfort/happiness as well as a complete lack of respect is a "personal choice"

France didn't ban the film "Mignonnes" ("Cuties"), but a book about a woman NOT looking for love is indecent? Ok, France, I'm judging.
[–]ProfessionalPeeFDS Newbie83 points84 points85 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Oh no you dont understand, Mignonnes is ACKCHYUHLEE about how child abuse is bad, that's why they exploited real children to show us that! UwU
Really, france has fucking terrible opinions 99% of the time regarding their media management. Not liking men because they rape bad, liking child pornography is like, just an opinion bro dont worry!

This is adjacent to "We don't have a racism problem in France because we don't categorize people by race, but we don't like Algerians because they're dangerous criminals, but that's not racist."
[–]ProfessionalPeeFDS Newbie15 points16 points17 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah basically. France loves to take a walk around strategy to avoid admitting to their disgusting practices. A lot of countries do, but France has managed to get so many people to believe it that blatant pedophilia gets supported, which is insane to me.
[–]GourmayFDS Newbie5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I already pointed it out above but I'm French and the government did not try to ban it. Let's not pretend the reaction elsewhere wouldn't have been similar from the usual groups.

LV male: ”why does society allow women to openly hate men? This is a double standard!!”
Also LV male: watches violent porn; hits women; blames women for men’s bad behavior; listens to music that disrespects women

Message to male lurkers: Men hate women because women don't want to have sex with them. Women hate men because they rape, kill, and abuse us.

My favorite quote from the article is:
”I am married to a man, who is great and really supports my writing. But in general I mistrust men I don’t know,” Harmange said. “I just don’t have confidence in them. This comes less from personal experience than from being an activist in a feminist organisation that helps the victims of rape and sexual assault for several years. I can state for a fact that the majority of aggressors are men.”
”I am married to a man, who is great and really supports my writing. But in general I mistrust men I don’t know,” Harmange said.

Where are people preordering her book from? I want to support her. She seems pretty rational; her thesis is that women should be allowed to hate men as a class because of the violent oppression they’ve perpetuated historically and in present day. I think it’s progressive to think of men as a specific class of people just like women are. No where does she say she wants all men to die or even that she hates men individually but her critics still act like she’s the antichrist. She’s also bisexual and married to a man.

I'm in the Netherlands, and ordered it from bol.com. Personally I do not order from Amazon, because of Jeff Bezos' notoriously horrible treatment of his employees. But if you must, do it for the sisterhood.

This is exactly why I'm trying to stop using Amazon; this year I started using alternatives to almost everything. I switched to Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Costco (I already bought here, but like now I focus it more), seller's website... I'm surprised how many offer free shipping or pick up in store, so I'm saving money either way.

France is the country that authorizes the most disgusting rhetoric in the name of free speech and being a "country of debate", yet bans a book like this because it inconveniences the dominant culture.
They spent decades celebrating, funding, publishing and promoting a self-proclaimed pedophile - as in, he writes in his journals published by one of the big houses in Paris how delicious it is to sodomize an 8 years old Filipino boy (NYT), and it took one of his victims to write about her trauma for the so called cultural elite to cancel him at the ripe age of 80.
I wouldn't have noticed her book without this polemic, but I will buy out of spite.
[–]Inspection-CriticalFDS Apprentice24 points25 points26 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Thought for a moment you were talking about Polanski or Besson (2 more famous pedophiles France regularly jizzes itself over).
[–]FleetingDaisy[S] 9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I remember always thinking that Sharon Tate was a kind and innocent soul, way too good for that horrible scrote Roman Polanski who abused her emotionally and physically, in the rare moments when he wasn’t having sex with an underage actress.
[–]Inspection-CriticalFDS Apprentice9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Polanski is such a disgusting person on so many levels. He cheated on Tate too, even when she was pregnant. Classic example of how a woman will never be enough for a loser.
I'm appalled some woman married him after he fled the US for raping a child, too. What the fuck.
[–]FleetingDaisy[S] 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sharon was lightyears out of is league when it comes to looks, and he still cheated on her all the time.
[–]Inspection-CriticalFDS Apprentice5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Right?? Polanski was an ugly troll even when he was young. They look so bizarrely mismatched in old photos.

Shh don't you know free speech only applies to men??? Can't be letting women get ideas you see. Also didn't they finally make it legal to wear pants in the late 2000s? Women were doing it anyway, but it was technically illegal up until 2013 or so I believe.
[–]GourmayFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]FleetingDaisy[S] 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Um, throughout the entire history of literature and cinematography ever since humans developed language? I mean the freaking Bible is the first misogynist manifesto.

I love how her publisher will tell her that there was a light surge in the pre-orders of her English book worldwide on the 21st October, and she will never know 🤣
[–]FleetingDaisy[S] 10 points11 points12 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Anyone else noticing comments from male lurkers that promptly get deleted, about her looks? One even messaged me about that. Is that really the best you can do? Trying to undermine a woman's statement not with arguments against it, but by attacking her subjective attractiveness? Not like I'm surprised, but it baffles me how often men believe that they can refute any claim made by a woman by stating that you find her unattractive.
Besides, why are we pretending that she's some kind of a hideous troll? Sure, she might not be classic beautiful (not like it matters, just while we're at it), but it's not like she's unattractive. How bizarre, that men will come and offer more reasons for us to hate them, in a discussion about a book that explains why men get hate.

Ahh yes, the good old ad hominem! I just "love" when men claim to be the logical sex and continue to debate women's issues on Reddit, but still can't even create a proper argument. If you have to insult your opponents looks, you already lost the debate, sorry scrotes.

Reading the description, the last two lines sold me completely, more love and support for women, especially from women.
