“Today, it’s almost embarrassing to be masculine”: the sentence of Vincent Cassel which caused unusual anger

On a promotional tour for his new action series “Liaison”, the famous French actor Vincent Cassel56, gave an interview to the British newspaper The Guardian in which asserted masculinity and complained about the models that we seek to impose through social networks.

“Look what’s going on. Instagram and TikTok are full of people giving fake pictures. Men should be like this, women should be like this,” Cassel said.

And he added: “It’s a total fantasy of what sexuality should be. And we tend to forget what it’s really about. It’s about being yourself.”

“Today it’s almost embarrassing to be masculine – developed the actor – (We are told that) you have to be more feminine, more vulnerable. But If men become too vulnerable and too feminine, there will be a problem.”

While some commentators came to his defense, pointing out that Cassel had been attacked for simply saying that “on Earth there are men and womenand in the networks there have even been ironic celebrations (“Ugh, there is still a man among the actors!”), criticism rains down on him, not only on the web, but in the media which also cultivates the political correct.

“Toxic Masculinity” It is the least that has been said to him and some have recalled, in a tone of moral rebuke, that he is currently married to a woman much younger than him…

A media pointed out that “the French actor was defending a position rather singular on the relationship to masculinity. Unique or common sense?

What is most shocking is not what the protagonists of Irreversible there eastern promises, but the reaction it generated. As one radio commentator noted, “Vincent Cassel is covered with insults because he said that a man is a man and a woman is a woman.

It’s that there are things that must not be said today, even if they are truths. Currently, the diktat is to deny gender differences, to the point of diluting identities. Being a man or a woman means nothing in this perspective. The dogma of queer feminism asserts that sex is arbitrarily assigned at birth and has nothing to do with biology; everything is construction, imposition of patriarchy, etc. This is today the hegemonic doctrine; in the public sphere, not among the general public. The theory that completely separates sexual identity from biology contradicts common sense and the perception of reality.

But anyone who is incited to disagree, or even to doubt, will be subject to censure and cancellation, for generally the cultivators of dogmatism are not inclined to debate but only to be indignant.

Do you approve of it misogyny with these statements?, they asked him. “I hope not. I am surrounded by women from morning to night, because I have three daughters, a wife, an ex-wife and a mother,” replied the actor, who was married to the Italian actress . Monica Belluccifrom 1999 to 2013. With her, he had two of his daughters.

It’s hard to understand what misogyny or hatred or contempt for women could be in what Cassel said. And it’s worrying that such a common-sense comment would cause such a stir.

In 2020, being at the head of the Women’s Institute in Spain, Beatrice Gimeno She said that “heterosexuality is not the natural way to experience sexuality” and that “lesbianism” was “the real liberation of women”, and no one criticized her. Whoever did that would surely have been accused of lesbophobia.

Around the same time, a compatriot from Cassel, Alice Coffin, LGBT activist, she invited women “to become lesbians and to do without the gaze of men”. He was not criticized either.

The only politically correct hatred is that which targets heterosexuality, today in the pillory. The sexual binary is a conspiracy of the system.

And anyone who dares to claim femininity or masculinity is anathema.
