Just like the Gisele Pelicot case, this time on British soil. It's heartbreaking, being betrayed so badly by the person you married, loved and trusted. WTF is wrong with some people?

'A man has been charged with drugging and sexually abusing his unconscious wife alongside a number of other men.
The husband, who cannot be named for legal reasons, faces 48 counts including conspiracy to rape, sexual assault by penetration and conspiracy to administer a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence.
The case involves 12 other men ranging in age from 28 to 73, and involves allegations dating back to the early 2000s'

Just no. Women are still massively the safest people in society overall. Just the statistics of what you would expect to be completely normal from the criminal element (the thing that will always exist) of the stronger gender that makes up ~50% of everyone, should be vastly higher than it is right now. It's insane we have it as low as it is.

There's a difference between wanting to keep it low, and wanting to reduce it, and pretending there is something special about one gender that apparently makes it insane for them to be victims of crime just because it happens.

I have no idea what you are saying here. Maybe try again without the waffle.

And it's sex, not gender.

FFS! What is wrong with those people?

You mean what is wrong with these men, with very limited exceptions women don’t behave this way.
