Gisele Pelicot, utterly floored by this

To echo what's already been said. This case has really saddened and enraged me. I just cannot comprehend that that amount of men from a small area would join in with these horrific ats.

Presumably a lot of these men have wifes and daughters of their own. I'd like to how they reacted when they found out what their son/husband/father has done.

I hope everyone of these men (including the few who left but didn't report it) get the harshest punishment possible.

It's one of the most horrific things I've ever read. The absolute betrayal of everything by her husband, that so many men were involved, that it happened over such a long period of time, the gaslighting, involving their daughter too. What she went through is incomprehensible.

And then her incredible strength at ensuring the trial is public, at holding all those men to account. She is so brave.

I can't get over not just that her husband would do that, but that approximately 80 men raped her and none of them thought it was a problem. Allegedly, they were all local "normal" men as well. Apparently only five men walked away when they realised what was going on, and not one of them thought to report what they'd seen.

That poor woman. So incredibly brave.

It clearly shows what too many men will do if they think they won't be found out.

I don’t think men will ever change to a point where this stuff is eradicated unless they are all castrated at birth

and overall, I’m not sure that’s the best solution.

I agree. There are a few crimes against women where I am absolutely staggered to realise just how much some men hate women. My brain cannot comprehend it. And I am so lucky in that I am surrounded by wonderful men! But it is still a very real threat, simply by being born female. Horrifying. I am not sure how she will ever get over it and I wish her peace and happiness for the rest of her life, more than anything.

It's absolutely awful isn't it? I've been so upset by this news story. It's completely enraged me. I'm just shocked at how many "ordinary" men took part.

Germaine Greer was right all along; we just don't really understand how much men hate us.
