NYT: French leaders, scholars say theories from USA on gender, race are a threat to France

PARIS — The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
The threat? “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,’’ said President Emmanuel Macron.
quote:
French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.
Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture.
quote:
Disputes that would have otherwise attracted little attention are now blown up in the news and social media. The new director of the Paris Opera, who said on Monday he wants to diversify its staff and ban blackface, has been attacked by the far-right leader, Marine Le Pen, but also in Le Monde because, though German, he had worked in Toronto and had “soaked up American culture for 10 years.”
quote:
Mr. Macron — who had shown little interest in these matters in the past but has been courting the right ahead of elections next year — jumped in last June, when he blamed universities for encouraging the “ethnicization of the social question’’ — amounting to “breaking the republic in two.’’
“I was pleasantly astonished,’’ said Nathalie Heinich, a sociologist who last month helped create an organization against “decolonialism and identity politics.’’ Made up of established figures, many retired, the group has issued warnings about American-inspired social theories in major publications like Le Point and Le Figaro.
quote:
Mr. Taguieff said in an email that researchers of race, Islamophobia and post-colonialism were motivated by a “hatred of the West, as a white civilization.’’
“The common agenda of these enemies of European civilization can be summed up in three words: decolonize, demasculate, de-Europeanize,’’ Mr. Taguieff said. “Straight white male — that’s the culprit to condemn and the enemy to eliminate.”

Macron has a mom complex. Look who he married.

You often hear retards say that American is so far right, that the left in America is considering right wing in the glorious enlightened European nations. What the retards don’t realize is that they may be on economic issues, but on the woke shite they are not. Things like affirmative action would be straight up illegal over there.

Our Progs aren't concerned. They know that when the rubber meets the road the French will surrender.

When a policy is soooo bad that France insists it’s bad then you really should think about wtf did you just fob

There are two genders. Male and female.
If you think there are 57, then yes, you should be institutionalized as a threat to society.

Shouldn't come as a surprise...the French are very nationalistic and its somewhat of patriarchal society. Some of their policies may be socialist but its still a relatively conservative Catholic country.

They’re a threat to everywhere.
Identity politics is motivating people in a way that class warfare never could. You can get middle class people excited to fight over critical theory. Poor people. Rich people. It’s a great tool for revolution.

Critical theory is an easy target and that the French can, seemingly with a straight face, blame American theorists for 'critical theory' is immensely funny.

LMFAO!!!
When FRANCE says that the opussification of a country is a threat, you know we're absolutely fricked!

I saw someone succinctly say that America takes European exports, makes them much bigger/powerful/pervasive and then re-exports them to the world.
