100 women slam #MeToo

LEGENDARY actor Catherine Deneuve and 99 other French women have denounced a backlash against men following the Harvey Weinstein scandal, saying the #MeToo campaign against sexual harassment amounted to “puritanism” and was fuelled by a “hatred of men”.

Millions of women have taken to social media to share their stories of being sexually harassed or assaulted, using the #MeToo hashtag.

“This urge to send men to the slaughterhouse … helps the enemies of sexual freedom,” the 100 women, including Deneuve, said in a column published by Le Monde.
