The Weinstein harassment accusations have provoked discussions and reports of other aggressions which had until then remained secret. These now generally reveal that at a critical point in time, girls and women were too shocked to file an official complaint.
In some countries the law does protect Women from unsolicited attacks of a sexual nature ; however the main problem is the absense of proof particularly in work places : often there are no witnesses and when there are some, they are too afraid to testify !
Witnesses fear personal consequences, like being sacked from their job or more supplely, being totally ignored afterwards !
However, taking into account these recent happenings, will it still be possible to distinguish between a man who is gently "wooing" a girl or a woman and a man who expects a woman to submit totally to all his impulsive sexual demands !
Is this the end of the French style of "galantry" ? .
