> Can you spell out what about it worries you? Nothing worries me, really. I'm Italian and live in Poland, I care very little about France and what happens over there. I also care very little what other people do, and only comment on Macron because he's a public figure. I just think it's extremely creepy, and wonder how he managed to get elected despite that aspect of his personal life, and the fact that he's a banker. Politicians are regularly attacked (or at least judged) by what they do in their personal lives. They're public figures and represent the country, after all. > As for Carlson: https://jezebel.com/tucker-carlson-seems-to-have-a-lot-of-fu https://jezebel.com/tucker-carlson-seems-to-have-a-lot-of-fu. Thanks for the link, and I don't know that publication, but the articles next to that are "How to Write a Condolence Note" and "How to Select the Right Therapist for You"..?

I’m not saying it’s normal, but women having agency means a man can’t run a country all of a sudden? He’s somehow weak or compromised?

  > I’m not saying it’s normal Right. That's why I said it's weird that French people didn't have a problem with it, since most politicians get attacked for what they do in their personal life. > but women having agency means a man can’t run a country all of a sudden? He’s somehow weak or compromised? I never said that..? He's a Rothschild banker who married his high school teacher who's 25 years older than him. As he's not the typical Frenchman, it's weird to me that French people voted for him because "he's one of us". I think I explained my opinion pretty clearly. You don't have to agree with it, though :-)

    People don't vote for someone just because "he's one of us". There are plenty of other good valid reasons for that. And no. Most politicians don't get attacked for their personal, private life. Those who are make the headlines, sure. But most politicians are decent and focused enough on their life and work not to bother each other with unrelated, petty matters.

Generally, the French don't seem to care all that much about what their politicians do in their private lives.
