PARIS - A group of young French media executives was condemned Monday for running a macho "boys' club" that harassed female colleagues online. The affair is being dubbed the "French media's #MeToo", with Liberation referring to the group as a "boys' club" which bullied women online and cracked off-colour jokes about rape culture. Set up in 2009, the League of LOL also had members in public relations, graphic design, and media education. I didn't see how our jokes were shutting down the first wave of feminists speaking out on social media. Christophe Carron, editor of the French edition of online magazine Slate, also admitted having been a member of the group.
