Catherine Deneuve, others under fire for saying men have 'right' to seduce
PARIS - Catherine Deneuve and other critics of the #Metoo movement against sexual harassment sound like "the tiresome uncle at the family dinner" who does not understand that the world is changing, leading French feminists said on Wednesday.Deneuve and 99 other women on Tuesday signed a column in the newspaper Le Monde that argued that the #Metoo movement amounted to puritanism and was fueled by a hatred of men.Their column struck a radically different tone from that of Sunday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony at which Oprah Winfrey and major Hollywood figures backed #Metoo and other initiatives to fight gender inequality and sexual assault."With this column they are trying to build back the wall of silence we have started breaking down," feminist activist Caroline De...

Rome's mangy Christmas tree to be carved up into souvenirs
ROME - Rome's pathetic Christmas tree, so droopy and dried out that residents nicknamed it "The Mangy One," will be carved up and turned into souvenirs and a lactation hut for mothers and babies, city officials said Wednesday. In giving the downtrodden tree a new life, Rome's cabinet moved to close an embarrassing chapter in which the holiday decoration came to symbolize the city's degradation and dysfunction under its 5-Star mayor, Virginia Raggi, and the years of neglect and corruption before her. Raggi insisted Wednesday that the tree ended up capturing the hearts of Romans and visitors alike, and that its future life would show Rome as a model of recycling.
