French minister under fire for Playboy magazine cover | CNN

OMG, gotta love how everyone's losing their minds over Marlene Schiappa's Playboy cover... like, girl was being her fabulous self and now she's under fire for it I'm not buying the whole "she's a hypocrite" thing – if anyone can defend women's rights to express themselves freely, it's this woman . And honestly, who cares what politicians like Jean Luc Mélenchon think? They're just mad 'cause they got served by a strong female leader . Anyway, I guess Schiappa's right – the right to control your own body is an important issue that shouldn't be hidden under a rug . What's next, folks? A scandal over someone wearing yoga pants on the subway ?

Ugh, this is just great . A minister who's supposed to be fighting for women's rights and equality gets roasted for showing up on the cover of an adult magazine . I mean, come on, it's not like she was trying to be provocative or anything... she just wanted to be seen by the masses, right? And now the whole country is distracted from the real issues, like poverty and unemployment . The PM is all like "not appropriate" during this time, but what does that even mean? Is it really fair to shame her for being a woman who wants to express herself? I don't think so . And meanwhile, the media is just eating this up like the good little lapdogs they are . It's just another example of how politics and social issues always come down to sexism and double standards .

Wow Interesting how a controversial image can bring out different opinions on someone's character and values, especially when they're known for fighting for women's rights and social justice. It's like, if she's gonna get roasted for wearing a Playboy cover, shouldn't we be talking about the real issues that matter? Like, what's going on with unemployment and poverty in France? Shouldn't those be the topics we're discussing instead of her personal life?

I don't get why everyone's going on about Marlene Schiappa's Playboy cover ... I mean, she's still an advocate for women's rights and LGBT issues, which is awesome! She did some great work as Gender Equality Minister, like the fines for catcalling, and that's what matters. The fact that she chose to express herself on the cover doesn't change who she is or her values. It's not about what we want from politicians, it's about what they stand for. If they're gonna be hypocrites, then maybe they shouldn't hold a seat of power . And honestly, who decides what's "not appropriate" right now? France's got more pressing issues like poverty and unemployment . Schiappa should be praised for sticking to her guns and not backing down from the cause .
