#metoo, moi non plus
Catherine Guilyardi asks if French women really think differently about sexual harassment.
Do French women really think differently about sexual harassment - and if so, does feminism have national borders?
Catherine Deneuve was one of 100 prominent women who signed an open letter to Le Monde critiquing the #metoo movement.
"We believe that the freedom to say yes to a sexual proposition cannot exist without the freedom to pester," they wrote.
Have the French mastered a more sophisticated approach to relations between men and women, based around seduction - or is this a myth that sustains male power?
Parisian journalist Catherine Guilyardi investigates.
