Mayor of Mazan (Gisèle Pelicot)

[niadainud]

Wtf? It's not that serious because no-one was killed? And he said this more than once in the interview.

Incroyable. Putain !

He's apologised, according to Le Monde, but still.

He's a bloke. A man of authority. So it's unsurprisingly. Although would make me wonder what is in his past to make him downplay it.

Or indeed his present! Not insinuating anything about him specifically, but still slightly gobsmacked at the statistics of this case.

He's a man. What else would you expect?

This is indeed very much how I am starting to feel.

I was gobsmacked, had to rewind the news to show my dp.
Is this a representation of all Frenchmens attitudes.

Where can I read/watch this?

Please don't tar all men as scummy.
Lately it seems as if all men are monsters, the evidence is certainly there for a lot of them but not all. There are some fantastic ones out there (and in my life)

He is a disgrace. Undoubtedly he is protecting other ‘unknown’ men who were involved, who are in positions of power. Absolutely disgusting.

Gisele is a hero.

This really is not the place for NAMALT.

That makes me wonder what the mayor has got to hide ….

I hadn't seen those comments. Absolutely disgusting.

He also said she didn't suffer as much as she was unconscious when she was raped. Words fail me.

What do you mean this is not the place? Not all men ARE like THAT?
That's a fact!!!

BBC iPlayer: The Big Cases.

Because we all bloody know that, but the fact is an awful lot of men ARE like that so save your tired outcries for a thread that isn’t focused on the repeat rape of a woman facilitated by her own husband.

Far too many men ARE like that - that’s a fact!!!1!!

I also rewound it to check I'd heard correctly. Just astonishing how he diminished it. I mean it wasn't even "just" a rape, ffs.

Exactly. Even the ones who maybe wouldn't do anything as heinous as raping an unconscious woman still lie, cheat, ghost, manipulate, abuse, control, walk out on their partner/kids and just generally behave like shits because they think they can get away with it.

There are very few men I know who don't have some serious flaws when it comes to how they view and treat women. And yes, I am including friends and family.

This was in response to @Didshejustsaythatoutloud .

A NAMALT comment is a valid response to an All Men Are Like That Comment.

If people don't want to see NAMALT comments, and I do understand why, then people should't say things like, "He was a man. What else did you expect?"

I disagree, considering the amount of violence perpetrated against women and girls by men.

I disagree with you.

I now see where Germaine Greer was coming from, she was right all along.
Women under estimate how much men hate them.

Espèce de connard 😡

Perfect. Fortunately you are in the minority.

When I found out my first child was a girl, I cried at the thought of what I was bringing her into. That feeling has very much come back.
