"Shame must change sides." Rather than opt for a closed trial, Gisèle Pelicot has chosen to publicly confront each of the 50 men who raped her while she was unconscious.
Paris Match just did a piece on the security guard who caught him, and the woman who stayed and filed a complaint with the police. Without either of these two individuals this monster might never have been caught. In the end, it wasn’t her doctors, it wasn’t the police, it was just two people who decided to do the right thing.
Might we extrapolate that in every community there at least another 100 men who would do the same if given the opportunity? Sure, not all men, but an alarmingly high percentage.
I wish that there was another emoji option besides a heart to show support for your work, Monique. I certainly don't love the subject matter, but have only love and respect for you for publicizing this and for Gisèle for her courage.
Thank you Mischa. The awful thing is, he was certainly not the only man doing this to his wife. One of the other men on trial with him drugged his wife and had other men have sex with her. There are surely others out there.
Thank you for your voice on this story. For amplifying what needs to be amplified. Hard as it was, I’m sure, to write or even think about.
Thank you for pushing me to do it.

I just can’t stop thinking about how many other men are out there doing the same thing to the women and girls in their lives.

Ugh, it gets worse! These people are psychotic.
