Emmanuel Macron, the front-runner in Sunday’s French presidential election, shares something with President Trump: a 24-year age gap with his wife. The difference is that Macron’s wife is the older one.

That cliche-busting fact — a candidate young enough to be his wife’s son, rather than old enough to be her father — is a little social “revenge” that delights many French women, including Martine Bergossi.

“Macron was only 15 when he met Brigitte Trogneux, a married teacher at his high school in northern France who had three children. Macron’s parents sent him to Paris to put distance between the teacher who ran the drama club and their precocious son, but their bond lasted, she divorced, and 10 years ago they were married”

You realize, of course, had it been a male teacher, and a 15 year-old female student, it would have been a different story.

Come on, guys.

Let's all wife up some old gals so we can curry favor with the feminists.

Seems like a winning plan.

Men often marry younger women because:

1. Men take some time to accumulate the wealth that women want

2. Younger women have the fertility that men want

So he married the teacher who had SEX with him when he was a MINOR. In the U.S., women often go to PRISON for that. In sick, Muslim-adoring France, it is CELEBRATED.

I wish them well, but it’s hard to believe that Macron doesn’t have some Mommy issues. It seems like it would be unavoidable. And, it wouldn’t matter, except he’s head of a first world, nuclear armed country that is being over-run by Muslims invited in by the government he heads.

I’d prefer someone in his position didn’t make me think he had some deep quirks that might come out under stress and influence his decisions.

“Did men ask anybody when they started marrying younger women?” asked Karin Lewin, an artist with a studio in Montmartre. “Who sets the rules?”

Usually biology does.

Go feed your cats, Karin.

I ask, in advance, for your forgiveness for what many will call a sexist remark.... but when they got together, when he was a high school teenager, and she was his 40 year old teacher, I’ll bet she taught him tricks that he never imagined.....

Best answer by far.

A man is not limited by age in fathering a child. HOWEVER, A woman is limited by age in having biological children.
