A hundred women, together with the French actress Catherine Deneuve, stood up against the growing wave of hatred towards men.

The group of activists wrote an open letter, published by the newspaper Le Monde. The authors claim that the scandal surrounding American producer Harvey Weinstein led to a threat to sexual freedom and that some men who even tried to kiss a woman, or touch her knee became victims of this public fever. Their harassment was regarded as a crime.

 

In the fall of 2017, a number of Hollywood actresses accused producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. As a result, he was fired from the company he founded and expelled from a number of professional communities.
