Men need to be feminists! It requires education, it's sometimes hard to recognize the abuses when you are not a direct victim.
In the case of rape... this, I can't explain... How would some of the perps during this trial just acted (pretended) like they didn't know they were rapping this woman! This is just beyond my comprehension. But it's a fact, we have to face it. This people exist and we seriously have to do something about it.
Hmmh, agreed. I also don't really know what to make of this case. It exists, and I completely fail to relate to any of it. It's just beyond my comprehension. I don't think it's super important to pay attention to everything the perpetrators say. For all I know it could be all lies in self-defense and pretend. But it's a good thing that Gisele Pelicot took it on herself to make her case/story public and discussed this way. It's really an act of bravery IMO.
