Will the Pelicot mass rape trial prompt major change in France? • FRANCE 24 English

1. No

2. The men were told to be gentle, to warm their hands, to avoid doing anything that would wake her up. Clearly, she was drugged. She was unconscious and all of these men conspired with Dominique to keep her unconscious. And they all raped her. If they would have walked away, if they would have reported Dominique, she would not have been raped. Dominque was abhorrent, but they were, too.

3. She is a hero! ❤ The work towards improvement needs support by men and women.

4. Those lawyers need to take a good, hard look at themselves in the mirror. How can they sleep at night?

5. Gisele Pelicot should be nominated for Woman of The Year by Time, People, New York newspaper etc. She is so brave, willing to say what we all know… the shame is on the rapists. Rape is a cancer on the male gender. Males stop raping women and children.

6. Men will live without sex soon in Europe. 😀

7. I have questions:

   What do law schools teach about defending people who we know are awful human beings?

   Do they have specific ethics classes for that?

   How can you tell if a defense lawyer is merely doing their job or they are a genuinely horrible human being who think their immoral clients are in the right?

   Unfortunately, depriving those people of legal defense can be a slippery slope to innocent people not having one.

8. The website was called Without her Consent! They ALL knew!

9. If any of those men gained access to Gisele through the website her husband used to contact them, then they are guilty without a doubt. The site name made it clear that 'she doesn't know', obvious guilt.

10. Giselle Pelicot is such a hero! I hope once this is all over she can gather some Peace and Love from her family and have a really wonderful Christmas and Holiday season. Her bravery is to be highly commended and I really hope she feels the support she has from all around the World xx

11. No drink before bedtimes.

12. Why do these men think that a video of them raping someone is not enough evidence to prove that they are a rapist? It beggars belief doesn't it. Where Giselle Pelicot has found the strength to sit in a courtroom with such debased human beings is also difficult to comprehend.

13. she musta really pissed off her old man sometime before that eh?

14. No, it won’t change anything. Do y see any m e n commenting on this story? Look at the view count vs view counts on stories where mxn go after female grape and abuse victims who don’t have proof of the crimes Millions of views and comments in a frenzied deranged disproportionate witch hunt against A Heard (completely ignoring Depp is a proven abuser, misogynist and racist) but not a sound by those millions on this case. How many males do y see in the comments? Who runs govt and refuses to acknowledge the crimes against the female population and consumes the grape corn fuelling a trillion dollar trafficking industry that gives worldwide will not acknowledge or regulate. Countries want to regulate social media but won’t touch corn. How does that make any sense and why do y think such an obvious hypocrisy goes unmentioned. They will not change. W o m e n need to wake up and stop playing pick me politics and catering to deranged males. I’m sick of fake feminists pretending to care about this case on others while advocating for convicted grapists with special identities to be in women’s prisons, showers, bathrooms, etc. Sick of it all. Things get worse by the day not better. The predator is in the house.

15. Why are they ordinary man? That would mean, every man would do that.I doubt it.

16. Are the Muslim Men who have Abused Children and Women Across Europe, going to be Punished and Deported?

17. Pelicot's ex husband should have been charged with sex trafficking or facilitating the rape of his wife by dozens of men. A simple rape charge for him is ridiculous. France is already revealing how backward its thinking is on sexual rights of women.
