   (CNN)Politicians, journalists and her own daughter have stepped   
   forward in defense of Brigitte Trogneux, wife of French   
   President-elect Emmanuel Macron, in response to a series of   
   sexist and misogynistic slurs against her.   
      
   Many of the unwelcome comments have focused on the fact that   
   Trogneux -- age 64 with seven grandchildren -- is 24 years her   
   husband's senior. She famously went from being Macron's teacher   
   to his partner, and eventually his wife. Now she is France's   
   next first lady.   
      
   Macron's convincing victory over far-right leader Marine Le Pen   
   in last weekend's election appears to have encouraged the wave   
   of sexist comment.   
      
   On Sunday, French Republican party lawmaker Jacques Domerge   
   joked on Facebook, "We have a new president who is a younger   
   model of the previous one. Except that the previous one lived   
   with a women who was his daughter's age and the new one with a   
   woman who is his mother's age."   
      
   And on Wednesday, the front cover of satirical magazine Charlie   
   Hebdo carried a cartoon showing 39-year-old Macron resting a   
   hand on the pregnant stomach of his wife, with the caption:   
   "He's going to work miracles!"

   Her face was on fire and someone pissed on it to put it out.
