“I prefer younger women’s bodies, that’s all. End of. The body of a 25-year-old woman is extraordinary. The body of a woman of 50 is not extraordinary at all.” Award-winning French novelist Yann Moix pointed out during an interview with French edition of Marie-Claire magazine.

50 himself, Moix’s comment that older women are invisible to him starred outrage online with a majority of women finding him irrelevant and obnoxious with one user posting that that women over 50 are now "breathing a collective sigh of relief at the bullet they've dodged."
