‘Women over 50 are too old to love’ - French author
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
A French author has caused outrage when he uttered his opinion about women over the age of 50.

Yann Moix, an award-winning novelist, has admitted to a glossy magazine that he is ‘incapable’ of loving women aged over 50. He went on further to say that they are ‘invisible’ to him.
His comments have everyone talking on social media, as well as Breakfast with Martin Bester.

Liesl Laurie is, of course, not in favour of the author’s opinion. The women listening to the show also had very strong opinions - and rightly so.

French MP Olivia Gregoire, a spokeswoman for Macron’s party, tweeted: ’Very classy Yann Moix. Very very classy. But like stupidity and vulgarity have no age, it’s reassuring in his case as I doubt many women want (these qualities).’
Grande classe Yann Moix.

Grande grande classe.
Mais comme la bêtise et la vulgarité, elles, n’ont pas d’âge... c’est rassurant pour son cas dont je doute, d’ailleurs, que beaucoup de femmes veuille. @MarleneSchiappa @RixainMP https://t.co/K61ZbosxZa
