"Gisèle Pélicot asked for an open public trial so that the faces of the RAPISTS can be seen. And the media are filming her and taking her out. It is unfair and disgusting. Let us feminist women do what she asked for “that shame changes sides”, by spreading their faces in print."
Gisèle Pélicot pidió un juicio público abierto para que se vea la cara de los VIOLADORES.Y los medios la están grabando y sacando a ella. Es injusto y repugnante.Hagamos las mujeres feministas,lo que ella pidió “que la vergüenza cambie de bando”, difundiendo sus caras publicadas
