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.
How about you stop shitting on female victims of sexual violence just bc they’re not nice enough for you? You can have your own protest if you need it so bad, stop shitting on the one that’s actually happening. It makes it crystal clear that you don’t give a shit about anybody being raped. You’re just an meninist whining about men’s rights as an attempt to shut down support for women’s movements, no better then terfs who pretend to give a shit about women as an excuse to shit on trans people
How 'bout you stop shitting on male victims of sexual abuse because we’re not nice enough for you? FOH with that “you don’t matter” bullshit, I do matter whether you agree or not, and you are GODDAMN WELL gonna hear about it! You’re despicable, reevaluate your views.
Your views are bigoted, and yes, silly. But not silly in the way you think, silly in a sad, pathetic way that makes you look bad.
By all means continue however, I’ll never get in the way of a fool putting their horrific bigoted takes out for all the world to see, people deserve to know who you are inside.
