A French pro-abortion feminist who won the 2022 Nobel Prize for literature criticized men Tuesday for not doing enough to support women’s “liberation” causes like abortion.
Breitbart reports Annie Ernaux, 82, received the award for her novella “Happening,” a semi-autobiographical story about a young woman who aborts her unborn baby in France in the 1960s before abortions became legal.
Ahead of the awards ceremony this week, Ernaux made several public statements criticizing both men and the Nobel Foundation for being too “masculine.”
Speaking with Agence France-Presse, she accused the prestigious foundation of being misogynistic, saying: “It manifests itself by this desire for tradition. Being bound to traditions is perhaps more masculine, it is a way to transmit power to each other.”
Women have “long accepted situations that I found absolutely unacceptable and intolerable,” she continued at a press conference Tuesday, the AP reports. “Because if men do not become aware of their body, their way of life, their way of behaving and what motivates them, no real liberation for women will happen.”
Ernaux bragged about helping to make abortions legal in France in the 1970s, and described the legalized killing of unborn babies as “freedom,” according to the report.

“[I’m] old enough to have been an activist in the 1970s for freedom in France, contraception and abortion,” she said.
Pro-abortion feminists like Ernaux want men’s support, but they do not want men to form their own opinions about abortion.
Many men and women realize that abortion is not a women’s issue any more than it is a freedom. Abortion, the direct and intentional killing of a human child before birth, is a human rights issue and one that both men and women must have a say in. Men and women both are parents of unborn children, and both have rights and responsibilities attached to their child. When their child dies or is killed in an abortion, it affects men and women alike.
Abortions destroy tens of millions of unborn babies’ lives every year. Numbers vary, but researchers estimate between 42 million and 73 million unborn babies are aborted every year world-wide.
