They line up in front of a courthouse in southeastern France, from morning to evening, and have gathered in the thousands in cities across the country. They hold signs reading, “one rape every six minutes,” “not all men but always a man,” and “giving in is not consenting.”
They chant: “Rapist we see you, victim we believe you.”
Women across France are rallying in support of Gisèle Pelicot, a 72-year-old reluctant icon whose husband is on trial in the city of Avignon for systematically drugging her and inviting dozens of men, 50 of whom are now his co-defendants, into their home to rape her over nearly a decade.
The shocking case has sparked what many women in France call a long-overdue reckoning over “rape culture” and systemic sexism in the way the judicial system handles sexual violence.
Men are trash, these comments are all the proof you need for that. Pls stop acting like women aren’t raped super disproportionately often, it just makes you look like a cunt and a rape apologist. Yes men are raped, and it’s no less horrible than when women are raped. But women get raped SO much more often, and you just can’t deny that without blatantly lying. Trying to deny it is no better than #AllLivesMatter bullshit. No shit all lives matter, but bringing that up when people put a spotlight on the struggles on a specific group only serves to distract from an actual attempt at making people’s lives better
Women are trash, two different ones have raped me specifically and the treatment I get from women is “men are trash.” Fuck y’all right back then howboutdat?
Also it’s current year, if you genuinely still believe “men are trash” literally means every man is a rapist, you’re just stupid or wilfully misinterpreting it. How about you actually try engaging with feminists with some good faith next time, rather than pretending we’re the scum of the earth for not catering to men 24/7
No I think it means “men are trash” which happens to be just as idiotic as “always a man.” Thanks for fucking playing, goodbye.
All those words just to backpedal on your obvious sexism and keep whining about women shouldn’t be protesting against rape. I have nothing nice to say to you, so I’ll just block you and be very happy I never have to see trash like you again :3
Women should absolutely protest rape, without excusing woman abusers and erasing male victims of women (of which I happen to be one if you haven’t been paying attention.)
Block yourself, fool.
“removed for misandrist bigotry” very fun how m*n can come here and shit on women protesting for their right to not get fucking raped and say whatever sexist shit they want, but responding to it is crossing a line xD yall give zero shits about rape, you just hate women, you literally could not be more obvious about that coming to this post and trying to derail the conversation like this
