If I could just say I don't think that is true, I mean Leonardo dicaprio met his girlfriend when she was 12 and he was in his thirties and is the most famous actor in the world and Woody Allen's wife was his girlfriends daughter and so young when they met and he is the most respected director like ever. But I know what you mean.
@@victorialadybug1 Yeah but thats some people. Ask random people what they think of Leonardo Dicaprio dating someone he met as a child when he was in his 30s, and then ask people what they think of Macron's wife doing the same thing. You will get totally different reactions.
Exactly, he'd have more of a probability of going to prison unlike her. Female predators get off a lot easier than men because men don't want to see women as threatening and more likely see it as aspirational. If Trump married a girl he started dating at 15yo he'd be under even more fire than he normally is.
they've known each other for 20 years. He was 19 when he told her he loved her. He was sent to Paris for college. They became a serious couple after he graduated. True love story despite social criticism. What does Melania love about Trump? His money.
"It's so sexist, change the roles!" Yeah, do that also when we're talking about the beginning of their relationship. When he was 15 and she was 40. Change the roles.
Its grooming bro. Just because they are hapoy, doesn't matter that what she did was OK. Unlike what Ana said, if the roles would have been a man, she would be in prison for pedophilia
welcome to france, where nobody gives a shit as long as nobody gets hurt... on a technical note, she wasn't "his" teacher, she was a teacher in the school he was in
They had a sexual relationship when he was 15, they sent him to a different city, she divorced and married him not to mention her older kids and their siblings, and her husband
Joey Doig I wouldn't care as long as when they started their relationship after she was his no longer his student. Age doesn't matter as much because age of consent in France is 15. Same goes for a guy.
Dreikoo That is wild speculation, we have no evidence that she did that. What if he just fell in love with her waited until he could date her than did?
BestofNate I fully agree with you on that, especially given the different culture that France has. I'm just trying to point out the double standard the TYT seems to be having here.
Yes, she gets to teach him even in her bed.. Lot of knowledge to teach .. If he can't become the president of a group of moronic people with that level of knowledge... He is not fit to be a teacher banger😂🙄
The age difference isn't the issue. She was married. That's the issue . Also, her children are older than him. If you were her children, would you like knowing your mother is sleeping with your peer who is younger than you? Awkward much???? Decades have passed, so they may be accustomed by now.
Oh please, who would care if she was 25 years younger than him? I am 13 years older than my husband and we have been together very happily for 8 years now. Age doesn't matter. Loyalty and compatibility are the most important things in a relationship.
Twenty for me and my hubby. We had a two continent long distance relationship for 6 years, but came down to being really compatible and neither one of us was willing to give up the other. We've been together for 14 years.
PR and ctrlalt that's called projection because you would lose your shit over a young girl dating an older man that isn't you and the right is for pedophila. because milo is on the right
Okay...there is a HUGE difference...she was his TEACHER and had a position if power over him... that's horrible. She is literally a groomer and you guys are actually defending it, what the heck. We are past grooming?? What is wrong with you people
Oh yeah sure, there would have been no critism if he had of been a married 40year old teacher and she was a 15 year old student. Sure, no one would have said anything. Come on
Stop spreading false lies. Age of consent is not 15, but 18 for teachers, employers, landlords and government workers. If a French teacher fucks a 15 year old, they go to jail.
I don't think the French cared about Brigette being much older than her husband (although there were a few jokes about her being his teacher). That criticism most likely came from the American cavemen. The French have a much healthier attitude about almost everything
Cenk, please, please do research. The age of consent in France is 15, so as long as she had finished teaching him, then they could have started their relationship whenever they liked; not all countries follow American social norms!
The age of consent is 15, but still, over 15 and 18, it's child abduction, because the minor is removed from the custody of his parents. If sued, she could have risked 5 years in jail and a fine of € 75,000.
What the hell are you talking about? Child abduction? They simply met when he was 15; there was no relationship at that time! And since when would a relationship equate to abduction, anyway?
Because, by law, in France, if the minor is over 15, and say, spends a night with an adult, he's removed from the custody of his parents. So, this is child abduction: 5 years of jail and a fine of €75,000. Furthermore, the legal consent age is 15, yes, but if a minor who is over 15 has sexual relationships with an adult who has some kind of authority on him (like a teacher...), this is considered statutory rape by law: 3 years of jail and a fine of € 45,000.
No, there really isn't! Yes, his parents, apparently, had concerns, because Macron was clearly obsessed with her, but that does not prove that any relationship was actually taking place. Please show me any reputable source which makes the allegation that a relationship was taking place at that time.
This is the Frenchest thing ever. A French man wearing a beret while eating a plate of French cheeses & drinking French wine at a cafe by the Eiffel Tower isn't this French.
Dicey? Wrong? Meh, only by paranoid American standards! With all due respect, I simply do not understand why Americans cannot try to think about things from a perspective that is not their own. American attitudes towards sexuality , relationships, let alone morality etc. are not some universal standard at all. In my country (Denmark) we had a case of an MP getting it on with a 15 year old at a political youth event (Our age of consent is 15, so no legal issues), he went quiet for a year or two, and came back to mainstream politics. The case of Emmanuel Macron and his wife is rather mild in my opinion, and that's rather the point IN MY OPINION.
I usually enjoy and appreciate TYT's. You said..."Let's get past this" (the marriage of Macron & wife).... But, you go on and on about them. Leave 'em be. They are happy and married 10 years. ~ PS: Most French women are very pleased w/ this arrangement !!
+ldarkphoenixl How is it wrong? They're two consenting people who clearly want to be with one another. Stop trying to judge and interfere with the personal lives of anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable.
soccerguy325 they will and he was 15 when they started the affair and his parents send him out to protect him and she follow him. Her son is older than him and she later have two children (one about his age, one younger ) with her husband, before he reached 30 and then they married . Tell me how this is the same than Trump ( that meet Melania when he was divorced and she was single and she had around 30yo) . I don't like Trump but I like less defending sexual predators by telling partial truth
TYT, please show me the source that says Bridgitte Macron is or was rich. I haven't heard that. Her parents owned a few chocolate shops in small cities. They may have been financially comfortable but it's not like she's the heiress of Nestle or something.
Sexually men peak at 35, women peak at 50. In most first world countries men die 7 years earlier than women. It means if money isn't an issue, the natural male-female age could be 10 years older female counterpart. Fewer lonely and unhappy people in the world, more fun, less war.
First lady is a thing in France, she's called "première dame" wich the literal translation of "first lady". Although the two last president deprived us of one this one is clearly bringing it back.
If it was a 39 year old male grooming a 15 year old girl into a future relationship from the position of power as her teacher, I'm sure nobody would bat an eye indeed.
if it was trump openly preying on 10 yo girl into a future marriage for the position of power as a super rich assholes, i'm sure trumpanzees and jillbots hearts will bleed and throw the monster trump in jail... right saints?
Yeah that would suck too. What does the orange orangutan have to do with this thing though? Two things can be horrible at once and we can call em out when relevant in their respective corners. Here the subject is Macron.
I just don't get why people bring up Trump in this context at all. What, you assume I supported him because I am against grooming of students? Wouldn't that go the other way? Wouldn't the Trump fans be the ones OK with teenage grooming? Not that it's at all relevant here but to remove further idiotic responses I will specify that I was all for Bernie, personally.
So just because it happened a long time ago, we should look past it??? People would be outraged if Trump met his wife when she was 15 and he divorced his wife to be with her. Hypocrites.
EliteXtasy they just like each other when macron was 15. they didn't actually have a intimate relationship with one another untill macron came back from Paris. it's fine as long as sex was not involved with a minor. macrons parents sent him away to Paris but he eventually came back and married brigitte
Nicholas Mulieri no sex was involved while brigitte was macron teacher. Read his personal life section en.m.wikipedia.org - Emmanuel Macron - Wikipedia
Okay. It's not the age difference. It's the fact that a teacher had a hard time resisting a persistent teenager. I think that's where the creep factor comes in.
Yeah. You would have to be pretty naive, given the timeline, to think nothing inappropriate was going on there. This is a trap for progressives sometimes. They will bend over backwards to give explanation to some things that really are wrong rather than risk looking unenlightened. It's okay to just call things for what they are sometimes. Macron's relationship is messed up, not because of the age difference but because of her position over an infatuated adolescent when the seeds of their "love" were sown.
Really wish you guys had made more of a point of the mindset of why a younger guy would want to go out with an actual woman......especially if you have had no trouble meeting girls your own age. Okay, a bit weird that she was his teacher but many successful, longlasting relationships have had older women behind them, on their side or front them! Where the F**** did the nineties go where it was a virtual prerequisite in many countries that women and men were different but quintessentially equal in skills, ability and knowledge? getting a bit bored with current culture going backward, readdressing the same old sh**tty issues...Been an avid supporter of your peerless, unbiased "word on the street" angle of how things actually are for a long while, but unfortunately your attitude towards this is a little below par and too salacious! - why dont you check out how French women are looking at this situation?? will keep on watching you guys!! You are the best but must try harder C+ SCORE... in this post you guys just sound like ignorant Americans.
in France the age of consent is 15 but if the other older person is in a position of authority ie: a TEACHER it is seen as abuse of a minor (under 18) and can be prosecuted. so its not really like trump is it.
To be honest the age gap isn't the main issue for me. The thing that bothers me is that she was his teacher. Someone parents put their trust in. If it had been a male teacher with a female student all hell would have broke lose. It's actually sexism but the opposite way that you guys are talking about. But hey they've been together for 20 years so it doesn't really matter now.
It is a big deal because it threatens conservative values. Older women younger men coupling exposes the business transaction nature of extreme-age-gap older men younger women coupling.
Vuong Nguyen I care , and feminists always talk about the power dynamic. Sometimes to oppose relationships at the university level. The other issue is this : you can't just pay atention to a source and reach a conclusion. They "forgot " to tell you that the sexual encounters started when he was 15. This is not what you believe "he found his teacher later in life " no this is a 15 years affair and she was married and his parents send him out to protect him from the abuse and she follow him. His adopted child is older than him . Yes she was having sex with the students, and we don't have any reason to believe Macron was the first or the only one.
I think that the issue is how it would look, a thirty something married teacher persuading (or him persuading her) a fifteen years teenager, sex or no, that would look very bad, so bad that it would be an argument for firing, lucky for her that she com from a rich family, because everyone else would lose their jobs.
This would be an issue except that apparently he was persuading her with the knowledge of his parents and they spend years apart before actually marrying.

They met when he was just 15- she was his art teacher. They waited until he was older. He absolutely worships her.

And she was 40

I don't know. I think if he had a younger wife, he would not become president at age 39.
Okay. It's not the age difference. It's the fact that a teacher had a hard time resisting a persistent teenager. I think that's where the creep factor comes in.
Keely Nelsen Yeah same. If she was 24 years older and not his teacher I wouldnt care, but this is just creepy af
Yeah. You would have to be pretty naive, given the timeline, to think nothing inappropriate was going on there. This is a trap for progressives sometimes. They will bend over backwards to give explanation to some things that really are wrong rather than risk looking unenlightened. It's okay to just call things for what they are sometimes. Macron's relationship is messed up, not because of the age difference but because of her position over an infatuated adolescent when the seeds of their "love" were sown.
Nobody died so lets move on.
What are they talking about, "no one gives trump shit for Melania being younger" that's been talked about since day one by the trump haters...
Age of consent in France is 15 so WTF are you talking about!
Nico Veenkamp again , Luckyiest guy on earth Living the Dream , the fact that they stayed together is awesome tho
It means that is legal for minors to explore sex. Not a green light for child molesters
Really wish you guys had made more of a point of the mindset of why a younger guy would want to go out with an actual woman......especially if you have had no trouble meeting girls your own age. Okay, a bit weird that she was his teacher but many successful, longlasting relationships have had older women behind them, on their side or front them! Where the F**** did the nineties go where it was a virtual prerequisite in many countries that women and men were different but quintessentially equal in skills, ability and knowledge? getting a bit bored with current culture going backward, readdressing the same old sh**tty issues...Been an avid supporter of your peerless, unbiased "word on the street" angle of how things actually are for a long while, but unfortunately your attitude towards this is a little below par and too salacious! - why dont you check out how French women are looking at this situation?? will keep on watching you guys!! You are the best but must try harder C+ SCORE... in this post you guys just sound like ignorant Americans.
did Trump meet Melania when she was 15?
in France the age of consent is 15 but if the other older person is in a position of authority ie: a TEACHER it is seen as abuse of a minor (under 18) and can be prosecuted.
so its not really like trump is it.
That only applies as long as she was HIS teacher. And since he transferred schools she wasn't.
Should US impose sanction on France for this?
I'm not saying it's right.. but the age of consent in fence is also 15 years and 3 months for boys. so technically it probably wasn't illegal
The age difference is not a issue. The fact that she was his teacher and he was a minor is.
but the age of consent in france is 15, so no, not an issue
Macron's chocolate "Babe" - AKA, known as the official queen of chocolates
I still think this is fucked up.
SHE WAS HIS TEACHER! HE WAS 15!
I think they make a lovely couple:-)
I'm so glad Emmanuel Macron won President!
VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
Leanne Sawka you think it's ok for a 40 year old to have sex with a 15 year old?
hes the real life "thats my boy" so let that man live!
Non- issue. Let's see what he does for France.
Dos Wheels Яouges Exactly. My Girlfriend is French. They don't really care about that stuff. Yes they make fun but that's it. Non issue
There are other very obvious reasons why a young social climber might marry a fabulously wealthy woman.
what's the big deal?
I just earned a new respect for macron.
To be honest the age gap isn't the main issue for me. The thing that bothers me is that she was his teacher. Someone parents put their trust in. If it had been a male teacher with a female student all hell would have broke lose. It's actually sexism but the opposite way that you guys are talking about. But hey they've been together for 20 years so it doesn't really matter now.
Ya...we know. Kind of months late
He's gonna dump her for Merkel
Ana is right, this is the most French thing ever.
"If the roles were reversed there's no criticism"- He's 39, 24 years younger than that would make his wife a 15 year old girl.
Ana the french didn't criticize her for marrying young guys... people outside of the French did
seriously, why such a big deal.....I don't see it
Bobbius Shadow he married a pedophile
It is a big deal because it threatens conservative values. Older women younger men coupling exposes the business transaction nature of extreme-age-gap older men younger women coupling.
Donald Trump is 24 years older than Melenia. Who cares if Brigitte was his teacher? It doesn't matter. The hypocrisy of some people online.
Vuong Nguyen to be fair a teacher is a authority figure which blurs consent considerably. Don't disagree but there are many sides to any argument
Vuong Nguyen I care , and feminists always talk about the power dynamic. Sometimes to oppose relationships at the university level. The other issue is this : you can't just pay atention to a source and reach a conclusion. They "forgot " to tell you that the sexual encounters started when he was 15. This is not what you believe "he found his teacher later in life " no this is a 15 years affair and she was married and his parents send him out to protect him from the abuse and she follow him. His adopted child is older than him . Yes she was having sex with the students, and we don't have any reason to believe Macron was the first or the only one.
The age of consent in France is 15. So it wasn't illegal at any point.
I think that the issue is how it would look, a thirty something married teacher persuading (or him persuading her) a fifteen years teenager, sex or no, that would look very bad, so bad that it would be an argument for firing, lucky for her that she com from a rich family, because everyone else would lose their jobs.
This would be an issue except that apparently he was persuading her with the knowledge of his parents and they spend years apart before actually marrying.
thats fuccked up.
