Plus she grew up in Marseilles, so like the worst part of France, I think this is also a reason why her views are so biased, it is true that over there (South-East like Marseilles, Nice, Cannes) people are quite shallow and arrogant but that’s absolutely not the case in the rest of the country.

Also, I am a young woman in a leading position at a tech compagny (giving context, not bragging) and I have not once face misogyny. It was true at some point in the past, but not so anymore.

Although it is true that we mark respect towards adults by speaking formal and calling them by there title, I have always challenged my teachers and never got punished for that, on the contrary.

On the socialising part, that’s the same, I met my closest friends and my fiancé on parties and we socialised around alcohol, not food. Afterwards, with my close friends, we did dinners, barbecues, etc. but that’s not how you meet people, that’s drunk at parties or at events like charity, sports, concerts, etc.

Same with conflict, there is a difference between debating ideas – which we do a lot – and conflict, which we really don’t do and is seen poorly – except in the southern part like Marseilles, hence the huge bias.

Overall I think that before writing another article on a culture it would be wise to have live there in the recent time (not a decade and a half ago) and in multiple parts of the said country (not just the capital and Marseilles, city with the most crimes and a really different culture that other French People really struggle to understand – there is reason reality TV is mostly Marseillese).

Sorry for the long comment but I had to give another more updated view.
