The case of Mazan is mentioned in the French media: a woman drowned with sleeping pills by her husband to put her between the legs of other men to be raped. That for ten years and three numbers: 92 violations (at least), 72 men and 51 trial violators. Gisèle Pélicot, 72, did not admit that the court door would bow before the court, which "responds to the need to change the shame". It is also in solidarity with all the others who have been raped, with a view to making it easier for them to speak. It is a great contribution – and, of course, it is a force – in many ways, but if only one is chosen: that the rapist is someone in our environment who has been brought to light. The feminist movement has been recounted and recounted, but seeing the media headlines, it has been a discovery or awareness for many. The main information from the early days of the trial was that Monsieur Tout monde (translated into Basque, Mr. Edonor) observed his husband and the 50 rapists in the area. Firefighter, journalist, father of the family, nurse, good friend; people who live around Mazan… that is, "normal men." Yes. The rapist is an ordinary man, who faithfully carries the everyday, well-integrated around him. The rapist is not a "monster," the rapist is a regular man. That's called "disruption strategy," the creation of two groups, the creation of a different group than ours. Rapists usually enter that group other than ours: marginal, crazy, outsiders… But not. They're normal men around us, whether we want it or not, better said, even if we don't want it. The day we recognize it, we will be able to start a real job that would mean a weakening of the culture of rape, the disappearance? The open door trial of Gisèle Pélicot has brought this to light.

To conclude, warning: if some men start throwing stones at this writing on social media, answer: silently. Shut up, I won't bear it. The very moment I write, I meet two evil men: one, in a violent depression, identified by the architects of a trauma, and I know that in the past he was raped by one man, and the other, raped, [for now] he has not publicly denounced the rape, but that is there, that in the past that trauma has occupied his life. And I repeat this once again: in those two cases, no monsters appeared on the black night. No, they're normal men around us.
