Pelicot’s landmark case led to reforms in France’s rape laws after she bravely testified about enduring a decade of sexual abuse.
Gisele Pelicot, the French woman whose courage in publicly testifying about the decade-long sexual abuse she endured made her a symbol of women’s rights in France, has received the country’s highest civilian honor.
Pelicot was named a knight of the Legion of Honor in a list published Sunday, ahead of France’s Bastille Day celebrations.
She joins 588 others on this year’s list.
Groping somebody’s ass isn’t fucking ass sodomizing rape keeping women chained up in a basement for decades.
It’s so fucking ridiculous, not all crimes are death penalty level assault and brain drilling god damned Jeffrey Dahmer style atrocities.
There is fucking nuances in this world, grabbing ass is fucked, don’t do that, but stop pretending like he’s fucking Joseph Fritzl.
Fuck I’m so tired of this hystericla god damned bullshit. They weren’t traumatized, someone grabbed their ass. Holy shit, people endure worse degradation in workplaces daily worldwide, it’s such unhinged bullshit to try and pretend like its going to take years of therapy to get over, jesus fuck have some sense of proportionality.
Damn that’s an angry response. Depardieu and Abbé Pierre have both been accused of rape, not just groping.
In French cinema everybody knew about Depardieu. He’s publicly admitted rapes, multiple times. And we only know what has been made public. Seeing how he acts and what he says in front of a camera, I can only imagine how far he allows himself to go in private.
The Vatican knew about Abbé Pierre since the 1950s at least and didn’t do shit.
They’re no Fritzl or Dahmer, but being able to keep the highest recognition of the country, despite all this, is just spitting in the face of people like Gisèle Pelicot who faced and fought people like them.
Also let’s maybe not rank suffering, it’s not a fucking competition. The fact that people get abused at work, doesn’t diminish the fact that people get raped or assaulted ? What it tells us is that, maybe, we should do something about it, as a fucking civilised country.
