Court experts found no "salient personality traits or abnormalities " in Dominique Pelicot. That means either:
🅰️Court experts are utterly incompetent
🅱️Dominique Pelicot is an ordinary man and ordinary men can do what he does.

Since it's #NotAllMen , why are #TheRestOfTheMen so silent?
As @EverydaySexism points out, 76% of the accounts tweeting about the Pelicot case are women.
Male violence is not our behaviour to change. We need these good guys to speak up and act.

As I watched the news today I couldn't stop thinking about Harshita Brella and Gisèle Pelicot
One survived the horrific abuse her partner put her through, the other died.
Both brutally suffered at the hands of men they knew intimately.
How many more women are suffering?
Pornhub is deleting videos with 'sleep/sleeping' in the title and now sends a warning message about how the content is illegal/nonconsensual when people search for sleeping videos
Thank you to Gisele Pelicot and every woman who's fought to make this world a safer place for women
The Defence tried to make a meal of why Gisele kept her last name.
"...But I have grandchildren who are called Pelicot. I want them not to be ashamed to have the name. i want them to be proud of their grandmother. I want people to remember Madame Pelicot not Monsieur Pelicot"
“Is it that you loved your wife too much?”
I’m sorry but is Dominique Pelicot’s lawyer having a stroke? On hallucinogens? Temporarily insane?
I’ve seen a lot of courtroom shenanigans in my time but this is insane. https://t.co/CCrILSNpQ6
I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-)
Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!
In the wake of the Gisèle Pelicot case we must reflect, not on its uniquely monstrous details, but on how society has created a culture in which forums exist for abusers to gather and act out their sordid fantasies, and how disbelieving women is the norm https://t.co/3lRutSqvoU
@David_Challen I think that Gisele Pelicot should be named as Time's Woman of the Year! (That is, if it isn't Kamala, of course.) She has done so much to advance thinking about rape & her bravery is beyond belief. Please think about Time magazine!
The French MP fighting for a new legal definition of rape was, uh, "accicentally" drugged by a French senator.
The Pelicot case is not just about Dominique Pelicot.
It's about the depravity of ordinary men and how desperately society denies this.

A feminist collective has been hanging up posters near the courthouse in Avignon where the Pelicot mass rape trial is taking place. This one simply says: “Gisèle, women thank you”
We're sending thoughts and strength to Gisèle Pelicot and to all survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
Gisele has courageously exposed the reality of rape to the world, placing shame where it belongs - back on to the perpetrators.
