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.
I understand you have traumas but you are looking for victimization. no one’s silencing you. I’m actively engaging in conversation that you put yourself into, and you’re literally crying bully and claiming there’s a whole effort to silence you or whatever. there isn’t. also you’re the one who said you don’t care after what feels like 900 replies. I just said that’s funny. no one told you to shut up.
“Actively engaging”
“I fart in your general direction.”
Yeah you’re a paragon of open communication lmao.
That was obviously a response to your ridiculous insult, “absolute muppet”, to which I replied with a similarly stupid insult and asking if this is what we’re doing now. The gif is a reference to a famous monty python scene where they use ridiculous insults; it’s pointing out what you’re doing, not directing the insult to you. I guess you can only dish it out?
The fact that you disregarded all that context shows you’re either disingenuous or have no reading comprehension.
