    What I find amazing, is Gisele Pelicot has the attitude, I have always had. I have never understood why rape survivors feel shame and the actual criminal, the rapist, don't feel shame at all. It's bizarre. Even when there seems to be shame, it seems like every generation has to fight the same problem, over and over.

      Look back growing up. How is this a core part of humanity ? how can we not see evil until we hurt ? Ask, who did pick you brain that way ?
      Many lives good life, away from evil.

      the wording is misleading. I speak French and am following the daily proceedings in court. She's given permission for the videos and photos to be shown in open court meaning that anyone in the courtroom and the room for the public may see them. Journalists can publish descriptions of them. Recording or photographing in the courtroom or the public room is absolutely forbidden and being controlled so there is not access to the recordings outside the moments that they are played in court.

      Actually there were more than 80 men but unfortunately only 50 were identified. And the even scariest part is that the husband managed to find almost 100 "candidates" only in the narrow area near the town where they lived, imagine how many men like that there are in the world

      Thank you for your compassionate response. You don't need to apologise, but if you want to help, you could start holding other men accountable for sexist jokes (where it's clear that it's not just dark humour, but that person's actual opinion), disrespect against women, and other stuff. Basically, stop associating with men like this if you know some or call them out for their words and actions. If those men see that they won't get away with this stuff, more will think twice.

    Surely we all want these men to be as far from “humanity” as possible. That's why we pathologize them as narcissists, call them evil and even portray them as monsters. But that's always been the problem. It is precisely this alienation that helps them. As we can see in this process, most of them are normal men with families, jobs, etc. This is exactly the view that we as a society should spread because it is the truth. We must recognize that rapists are no different from any other men you and I know. Until their actions reveal who they really are, we remain in the dark and hope that our counterpart is not one of these rapists. As sad and scary as it is we cannot spot them beforehand.

    what was going on in that marriage for the first 40 years? The husband didn't suddenly become a sexual predator. She said to hims in court "you knew I wasn't into swinging". She completely trusted him. Why? I am sure he showed his true colours in the first 40 years of the marriage. She is a hero now but she was blind to the truth for ten years. If her ex husband hadn't been arrested would she still be "trusting" him even though she had STDs...where did they come from..she must have assumed he was screwing around on her. She is amazing for going public. But I wish one journalist would tell the entire story of how this occurred for so long?

      Without direct interviews or psychological assessments made available to the public, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact reasons behind his actions. These possible explanations are rooted in broader patterns observed in similar cases of abuse, where power, control, and a lack of regard for the victim’s autonomy are central themes. The court’s focus, however, has been more on achieving justice for Gisele and holding Dominique accountable rather than exploring the deeper psychological motivations behind his crimes.

      It's also about the excuses they gave... they think 'grape' is about a misterious man in the dark that violently attacks women. No, sometimes It's just lack of consent. Sone of them even said it wasn't rape because her husband was there... because he owns her? Because she's just an object?
