The self-loathing women of the French left.
Le Figaro, or more correctly its female interest section, Madame Figaro has been asking French women the key question of the age:
"Are women of 40 in full possession of their physical resources (let's call that looks, shall we?) or have they already exhausted most of their reserves?"
Well, if 50 year olds are seniors, perhaps this is a legitimate, if a rather Logan's Run-esque question.
Anyway, the answers are, ahem, revealing. UMP ladies have the healthiest attitude, with 93% going for the positive response. Quite some way behind are the Greens at 86%, followed by Socialists at 84%, Libs at 82% and the Far Left at 79%. Fully 21% of Trot/Tanky women voters think that 'they have already exhausted most of their reserves'.
It is important to note that Lutte Ouvrière, the Parti communiste français, the Socialists and the Greens are all led by women, although the Green woman is a mere girl at 34. However, the Green presidential candidate last time is 51 this year.
Asked whether they would /had made peace with themselves at 40, Socialists led at 89% with Green last at 82%. As to settling things with their parents, Libs were the most likely to say no at 11%, followed by the mad left at 8%. Gaullist women were the happiest with their bodies, with only 12% not having made peace etc, while 27% of Green women had not, followed by 22% of Lib women and 19% of Trots/Tankies.
Telling, eh?
And not worth a post of its own, but Sud Ouest Dimanche wanted to know what folk think of Brigitte Bardot. Yes, really. 68% have a positive view, 27% a bad one and 5% could not manage an answer. Frontistes are keenest at 78% (She is not very keen on our Islamic chums), followed by Gaullists at 78%. Libs and Greens are pipped by Trots at 70% to 66%. Perhapd not that well known in these parts is that she is a mad cat lady, so to speak. Meanwhile, back at the plot, fully 19% of Communists do not like BB.
