Gisèle Pélicot is a 71-year-old French woman who was systematically raped for nearly ten years by her husband and at least 51 other men. You have probably heard about the case in recent days. Her husband drugged her during dinner and took advantage of her condition to rape her. He contacted other men on Internet forums to get them to join in the attacks. No one reported it.
Everyone agrees until someone crosses the line and says: this is just one example, an extreme one yes, of how women are constant victims of abuse, assault, violence by normal men. Then many men respond: “Not all men are like that.” This defensive reaction is so common throughout the world that feminism has created a phrase to identify it: “Not all men.”
We analyze and understand it with Ana Requena, editor-in-chief of gender at elDiario.es, and with Iván Gómez, historian and doctor in gender who works as a trainer in masculinities.
