Original poster

To think Brigitte Macron is a pedophile

347 replies

Apologies if this subject has been done before. But I came across an article where Brigitte Macron describes her love affair with her then 15 year old pupil where she goes on to say "when we became lovers is our secret".

AIBU to think this woman is a pedophile?

She actively groomed her FIFTEEN year old pupil. How is she different to Jeremy Forrest who was jailed for having a relationship with his pupil?

It is beyond disgusting.

Gaelle - nasty ageist post from you about BM's appearance.

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 21:33

Gaell,

That is a horrible comment.

But I am just a GF

I am absolutely appalled at your denigration of a woman like that. Nasty in the extreme.

Papafran · 26/08/2017 21:41

Yeah, Gaelle, I was with you until you posted that stuff about beef jerky. You may be younger now, but how would you like it if people said stuff like that about you in 20 years time? I understand why you don't like BM and I am not a fan, but it has nothing to do with her appearance.

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 21:42

Oh dear,

I have just realised that some posters actually have the time and the inclination to do a SEARCH on a poster's name. WTAF.

Far too invested in everything, just like my mother's nasty neighbour, but there we go. Get a life folks.

I would not have a clue what anyone's posting history is, TBH I wouldn't care. But some people obviously have an interest in not only calling people Goady Fuckers, but checking them out and making assumptions.

Sorry for all your troubles folks. That is unreal. But you have to live with the obsession..

icyblueeyes · 26/08/2017 21:44

OK.
OP, I agree that what she did is very unsavory.
I mean, what kind of adult would even want to seduce a 15 year old? Hmm
I see where you're coming from.
However, I think to accuse her of being a pedophile is a bit strong.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 26/08/2017 21:44

I doubt anyone has advance searched you sunglassy

Not worth the effort

Which is, i'm sure, the reason you probably dont advance search either

Anaiis · 26/08/2017 21:52

It matters not whether BM is the most or least beautiful woman in the world.

Inside she is still someone who abused her position and engaged in a relationship with a minor. The fact she wasn't prosecuted for it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

There are double standards because she is attractive, and they appear to be happy.

If she was male she would most likely have been prosecuted, branded a paedo, lost her career, family etc.

The double standards are pretty unpleasant.

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 21:58

Macron will bring down the Presidency all by himself, being half of one and half a dozen of the other. Playing the socialist with another agenda altogether. Trying to be all things to all people.

Anyway, I don't think anything will happen WRT his marriage to Brigitte now.

It is the economy (and the French Trade Unions), Stupid!

If he manages to bring France into the 21st Century he will have done the State some service. But I very much doubt it.

Has anyone had any interraction with French Bureacracy? Therein lies the problem. Full employment even if you do nothing. I rest my case.

I worked in a boys school for a few years. Some 15 year old boys are still downy faced babies. Most of them are smelly, spotty, cracked voiced adolescents. Some have full beards and receding hairlines (not a good look with the girls but handy for buying drinks in shops that aren't too fussed about ID).

Very occasionally you get a well built, handsome lad who could pass for an grown man. As a responsible adult my thoughts on seeing one of those rare good lookers were along the lines of 'He's going to break a few hearts one day' not 'I'll have some of that, come to Mamma'. BM was all kinds of wrong and the fact they are still together doesn't change that.

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 23:01

I don't think anyone in France gives a shit, and really, that's all that matters now.

We are exiting the EU so they don't care what we think either!

expatinscotland · 26/08/2017 23:01

Stop feeding it, people. It's all over threads all the time being GF, no need to search, normal memory will suffice.

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 23:10

expat,

To whom are your referring.

I think you need to piss or get off the pot here. I hate this non referral.

Are you one of these passive aggressives or what.

You should name what posters you are referring to. Thanks so much. It might take a bit of courage but what the heck.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 26/08/2017 23:10

I agree expatin

With the memory bit Smile

Threenme · 26/08/2017 23:16

Not read the full thread and I dont know laws in different t countries but I do know if a 40 year old woman went near my 15 year old son It would not end well for her!!! She may not technically be a pedophile but u don't think anyone would like it

expatinscotland · 26/08/2017 23:16

'I think you need to piss or get off the pot here. I hate this non referral.'

I don't really give a rat's arse what you think or what you hate.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 26/08/2017 23:21

I agree three i dont think anyone would

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 23:23

expat,

I understand your anger. I think, but I don't agree with it.

It is so unnecessary really on a discussion forum amongst anonymous people like ourselves.

But what can we do, we just have to live with all this pent up anger. lol.

Yours to deal with.

cushioncovers · 26/08/2017 23:33

Oh french people do not have a different attitude. We voted for Macron not her so as not to let Le Pen win. We do not want to be reminded of their abnormal lives. And yes, they became intimate when he was only 16 years old and she 41 years old. He is 2 years younger than her son.

This

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 23:44

Cushioncovers

There are so many abnormal lives as you put it in UK also.

Tell me there is not. Social Services underfunded, kids die. That is beyond horrible,

Did anyone die here?

sunglassally · 26/08/2017 23:53

Were any laws broken?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 27/08/2017 00:22

professional codes of conduct are not civil laws though they might cross over

They are their to uphold the profession to the highest of standards

a teacher having a relationship with a pupil is unprofessional in the very least

bambambini · 27/08/2017 06:50

It's mega creepy and disgusting and I can't help wondering what kind of womsn she is. Extremely selfish and a bit weird springs to mind. His poor parents having to deal with that at the time.

cowgirlsareforever · 27/08/2017 07:42

She has lovely hair and good legs though, so apparently it's OK for her to have had a relationship with a 15 year old.

Cantspell2 · 27/08/2017 07:47

Wow why did no one ever say when Adam Johnson was convicted of having sex with a 15 year old "well at least he has a good pair of legs"

CoinOperatedGurl · 27/08/2017 07:48

I actually did defend Adam Johnson and know many other people who did.
