Cavadour 2,545 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago @Ladle Ghoulash She has been wrong many times. Particularly in her tendency to blurt things out without thinking, which has earned her a reputation for not being the brightest cookie in the jar. Especially on topics that are often controversial and on which right-thinking people are quick to take offense at the opinions of others, even before daring to express what they themselves really think on that matter. What I mean is that we're always quick to judge people based on what they say, without considering what motivates them to say it and without putting things into context or considering their acts. That's the idea I'm defending, beyond any desire to be controversial or to justify Madame Bardot comments. We are all capable of saying stupid things, impulsive and spontaneous people probably more so than others. But it seems that in our society, we are just as quick to banish someone for their words as we are to make excuses for crimes committed by others.

StrawberryBlond 15,052 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I only found out upon her death that she expressed strong right wing and hateful views in later years. All I knew was that she turned to animal activism after giving up acting and that was it. To know that she cosied up to Marine Le Pen, was fined thousands of euros over the years for inciting racial hatred, expressed homophobia and denounced the MeToo movement was very sad to discover. That last part is particularly unfortunate, as, for someone who was held up as a figurehead of the sexual revolution, she actually thought very little of women and their rights. It's always baffling to me how a lot of women from gen x and earlier benefitted massively from feminism yet won't identify with it and even look down upon it. This is why I always say never to assume that a woman is feminist just because she's making stereotypically feminist choices. In my experience, a lot of women who choose to portray themselves sexually don't think of themselves as feminists, even though their lifestyle literally wouldn't be possible without it. I'm not someone who supports speaking ill of the dead but death doesn't mean we shouldn't criticise the choices one made in life. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
