NOTCHES

Yesterday was #bastilleday, so we thought we’d delve into some of our old #Frenchhistory posts.

Post-revolutionary France saw much societal upheaval, particularly in the capital, as Andrew Israel Ross’ article outlines. Ross’ work demonstrates the importance of homosexual men and female prostitutes in shaping Paris.

I am not usually patriotic but in the grand scheme of things, I think #France is not doing so bad, as a country. French people do not necessarily realise how advanced we are on social topics and how precious these things are (e.g. education, healthcare, pension system, etc.).
Of course, a lot more could be done for a fairer distribution of wealth and a much stronger approach on ecological topics.

Anyway: Happy #BastilleDay!

-- En Français:
Je ne suis généralement pas patriotique mais, tout bien considéré, la France ne se débrouille pas trop mal, en tant que pays. Les Français ne réalisent pas toujours à quel point on est en avance sur les sujets sociaux, et à quel point ces avancées sont précieuses (e.g. l'éducation, le système de santé, les retraites...).
Bien sûr on pourrait faire bien mieux avec une distributions des richesses plus juste et une approche bien plus efficace sur les sujets écologiques..

Enfin bref: Joyeux 14 Juillet!
