Several months ago, I was watching a French documentary on Louis XIV on Amazon Prime. At one point, a female historian was talking about the Sun King’s virility, and about how hot his mistresses were. She did this with great pride.
That would never happen in America. It also explains why “le wokeisme” will never have much of a following in France, at least with regard to sexual politics. Traditional roles are too baked into the culture to let it happen.
