“Two French women are filing legal complaints against a junior government minister they accuse of sexual harassment, apparently encouraged to speak up after the recent arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn on sex crime charges. Gilbert Collard, lawyer for the women, said he had submitted the complaints against Georges Tron, the civil service minister, to a public prosecutor this week and he confirmed to Reuters the accusation was sexual harassment. Tron’s lawyer, Olivier Schnerb, dismissed the complaints and said he had been instructed to respond by filing a defamation complaint in return. Tron, who was quoted by Le Parisien daily as saying the accusations were “incredible”, told Reuters he had informed Prime Minister Francois Fillon about the matter………..” France 24

Leave it to those Les Américains to do it again: ruin a great French cultural tradition. First it was the chewing gum they brought with them to the beaches of Normandie, then the music of Rock and Soul (Josephine Baker was just an early outlier and not mainstream in France), then their subverting language through Jerry Lewis films, then the Internet. Facebook? Why not Le Livre Du Visage? Wait, there is even more…….
Now they have set out to destroy an even greater French tradition: men taking their sexual pleasures wherever they find ‘them’. In that they had the help of a black African Muslim woman who did not see a good white thing when it happened to her, could not just lie down and try to enjoy it. Poor, poor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn: who will it be next? Bernard-Henri Lévy?
