It’s the same on reddit. The demographic seems to have very narrow ideas about who ought to be having sex with whom. If there’s no minors, and no harm, then let people do what they want.
That’s true, but “grooming” is a question of morality. it’s a specific term involving people are under the age of consent. It’s not “grooming” just because you find the relationship immoral.
A 15 year old does not have the mental capacity to understand that they are being groomed. Grooming should be illegal, however it’s tied to the legal precedent set by age of consent laws.
I can’t believe I’m having this conversation, a 17 year old should not be in a relationship with a 41 year old.
A loving relationship where the woman is older than the man, oh the horror.
Everyone knows real power is from geriatric men marrying children who were trafficked just for them.

Are you proud of yourself for trying to sanewash child rape?
I don’t think she raped him. She groomed him, 100%, but she likely didn’t rape him.
You’re going to have to point out the child rape part to me.
Maybe read up on how they met, why he moved schools etc. before exposing your ignorance.
He was of age?
Do you think he feels like he was raped?
He was 15
When they met, she was 40 and he was 15.
Adults meet minors all the time. Some teachers will meet hundreds in their career. What’s your point ?
While that may be true, teachers having relations with minor pupils is generally rife for abuse.
I missed the “having relations with minor pupils” part sorry.
Grooming. Look it up. Grooming doesn’t immediately involve sex.
He was already over the French age of consent when he met her.
Legal ≠ moral.

I have change my mind somewhat since making these comments.
While Macron was at school they were certainly testing societal boundaries, even if French notions about such things are more relaxed.
You’re right, if my 15yo daughter was spending time with a 39yo guy I would be murderous.
However, I’m not French, it’s not the 90s, they’ve been married for 20 years now. By all accounts it’s been fulfilling and satisfying marriage…
