Part of the gist from one of the interviewees was (im paraphrasing): She certainly hopes men can be feminists, too. Since if only half of the population fights for equality, we’re unlikely to succeed.
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.
