Catherine Deneuve shares her controversial opinion

The aim of the #MeToo movement is to stop sexual harassment. This problem has raised public attention during the last year and spread far beyond the borders of Hollywood. Among those who were the first to talk about sexual harassment were actress Ashley Jud, singer Taylor Swift, and Susan Fowler.

Later, a lot of other famous women join #MeToo. During a recent Golden Globes ceremony, all Hollywood actresses were wearing black gowns to show their protest against sexual harassment.

However, not all women share the same ideas. Recently, Catherine Deneuve along with 99 other French women wrote an open letter to Le Monde magazine and accused #MeToo movement. The star made an accent on a "puritanism" sparked by recent sexual harassment scandals. It is said in the letter:

Men have been punished summarily, forced out of their jobs when all they did was touch someone's knee or try to steal a kiss.

Deneuve accuses a public mood in which women are seen as powerless victims. In her turn, the actress called men to be true victims of #MeToo.

Among other 99 women who signed the letter were an actress Christine Boisson, a journalist Élisabeth Lévy, a writer Catherine Millet.
