The majority of the men who raped Giséle Pelicot simply didn't bother to check if she was sedated or not, if she was drugged or not, of she consented or not. It did not occur to them. That careless indifference almost worse than sadistic hatred. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

And there you have it. The rapist is "a little bit of a victim too". The many men who raped Gisele have been so eager to claim victimhood - from their traumatic childhoods, loneliness, job losses or Dominique's manipulations. Anything to be a victim and not a perpetrator.

The ‘justice’ served to 51 men who raped Gisèle Pelicot was lukewarm at best. Dominique got only 20 years for orchestrating the mass rape of Gisèle for a decade. Other men walked away with 3-15 years. This sentencing isn’t proportionate to the crimes! theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…
