‘The idea of the respectable family man has been dented’ • FRANCE 24 English

25 comments

1. How unprofessional for a lawyer to act in such a way.

2. Respectable family men don't rape so how has the idea been dented?

3. Very good questioning. France needs to opt for consent. Sentences too low.

4. Gisele Pelicot has my vote for international woman of the decade

5. Lawyer of rapist , my client is free – did he mean the” rapist who paid me is free “ shame on the lawyer.

6. I hope France implements laws about consent. The Sean Coombs case in the US may become about consent amongst other things, given the number of legal cases being filed with people citing the experience of being drugged and raped.

7. Waiting for Charlie Hebdo's cartoons on this one, see if they exercise their free speech on this.

8. Enough of the nice guy and respectable husband dialogue. He gave up that title the moment he decided to venture into depravity and crime. I hope Gisele finds privacy and peace after this horror.

9. Why are feminists taking up this cause? This is a matter of basic human rights and dignity that all humans are entitled to regardless of gender. I am not a feminist (the furthest thing from it) and having this cause taken up by feminists will only serve to pigeon hole this as a "feminist issue". It is not a feminist issue it is a basic human dignity issue. WTF is rape culture? how sick is France?

10. Happy single child free lady here ☝️😎💪👍

11. West has no value for women😢

12. Have the names of the 51 men been made public? They must be made to feel shame.

13. How mentally disturbed does a man need to be to participate in the rape of an unconscious woman? Should that disturbed person be walking around free in the community? I think not. Who thinks this is acceptable? We should probably be worried about a justice system that feels this is acceptable. ⚠️

14. If I finally get the kitten I have been wanting for a while now, I will name it Gisele in honour of her!! What a brave woman.

15. I wonder what the husband's childhood was like. Was he sexually perverted back then? One doesn't get this way overnight.

16. This is attempted murder too.thk u Gisele💪🗣️- check all harddrives.

17. It annoys me that women who fight for their rights are labeled feminists. Are men who want to be treated equally and not be raped called male- inists? Of course not.

18. 0:49 The fact that one of the lawyers tried to”boast” by saying “my client is free”. First, it seems weird to brag since his client was found guilty. Also, taunting protestors seems just so unprofessional.

19. The myth of the romantic frenchman is in tatters.

20. Le gioie del matrimonio

21. Call it what it is
    ABUSE
    Women we have to be clear
    AND strong and safe
    PLUS taking care for our children boys and girls

22. The whole event never figured once in today's Guardian, the most progressive of uk news papers. Already forgotten apart from the rabid right poking at the state of France. This sort of thing would never happen in hloier than though Britain..

23. In regards to the respectable family man- can I ask for clarification on something I heard third hand? Is it true that many French husbands indulge in affairs as a common practice? If true, it is a different world from the one I know… I realize every country has its own personality.

24. These systems are ruled by psychopaths and narcissists who are self-serving.

25. No sex offender registry in france?
