The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man's entitlement to pleasure.

they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are

also, how come Giselle's doctor didn't look after her? That puzzles me so much.

These questions here too.

I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.

What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage

Edit: She obviously wasn’t moved to another location but would this count as something similar to human trafficking?

If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn't sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.

I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.
