“I want to represent the French woman of 2022, a strong woman, free, committed and proud to be a feminist and Miss France 2022”, assured Diane Leyre, Sunday December 12 on franceinfo, the day after his election. Strong statements insofar as, like every year, the competition divides.
“Miss France is a retrograde, sexist contest, based solely on the physique”, even declared Eléonore Stévenin-Morguet, spokesperson for the association “Dare the feminist”. And to add: “As for requiring candidates to be single, this myth of virginity, of purity that is still imposed on them, that makes no sense. What emerges from this program is that a model woman today is therefore a beautiful, very slim young woman with long hair. ”
Strong words in contradiction with the speech of many former Miss France, starting with Elodie Gossuin who recently spoke on the subject in an interview with the magazine We both. “I introduced myself, I never felt degraded. It is an experience that I wanted to live. It is not because we walk in a bikini that our capacities are limited to that ”, said Miss France 2002 now installed in the French audiovisual landscape.
“Miss France has a cheesy and outdated side”, still admitted the one who is in charge of the morning of RFM in duet with Albert Spano. “But that’s what we like”, concluded Elodie Gossuin!
