[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought about starting a thread about this story but I’ll share it here instead as it seems to fit.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-man-films-wife-rape-b2362206.html

This French guy drugged his wife and let upwards of 80 men rape her while she was unconscious, encouraging them to eschew condoms and to rape her bare back. He filmed all the rapes for his later enjoyment and police have been able to identity something like 50 men who raped her and of course among them are several pillar of the community types including one fireman who raped her while wearing his uniform.

I’ve read several articles about this shocking and horrifying case, one of which discussed how prevalent still in rural France (but it’s the whole world, really) that a man can do as he wishes with his wife as she belongs to him. All of the men who raped her clearly had that attitude.

Apparently the wife became suicidal once presented with the evidence by police. She had suffered disturbing dreams and gynecological problems of mysterious origin (!) but did not know that her husband of 50+ years was pimping out her unconscious body to random men he found on internet kink sites.

And just imagine the pain of the women married to some of these disgusting rapists.

By the way they burn 25,000 Indian women every year whose families fail to pay their bride price. It’s technically illegal but nobody does much about pursuing the cases. Look it up, it’s called bride burning.

And just a month or so again the United Nations released a report summarizing their research data which indicates that 9 out of 10 human beings on this planet are biased against women. When your own sisters are your enemies, what’s a woman to do?

[b]Our world is still painfully misogynistic and today on the morning program they had a long conversation about how boys and men are getting lost and we need to help them. FFS![/b]

Just curious, are you posting from Italy, France, or India?  In the US, where I am posting from, our boys and men are struggling.  [/quote]
Once upon a time, males didn’t have to compete with females for much of anything. Half the population faced little competition from the other half. They moved in different spheres. For men, the world outside their homes was their oyster.

Now they have to compete with women for college admissions, jobs, elected offices. Now they’re expected to do a significant amount of parenting, share the burden of housework, treat their wives as equals. It is much harder to be a man now.

At the same time, society is increasingly against males being able to do whatever they want to female bodies, talking about “toxic masculinity,” moving away from a culture where men can settle disputes with each other through violence — but society still encourages men to be tough and brave and not talk about their emotions. Male victims of domestic violence and sexual assault don’t get the same support women do. Men are now expected to be nurturers [u]and[/u] protectors, breadwinners [u]and[/u] supportive of their wives careers, competitive but gracious about having an increasingly smaller share of the pie.

Men and boys in the US are struggling because it’s no longer a HUGE, lopsided advantage to be male, and because they still are expected to adhere to traditional roles in some respects, but be thoroughly modern in others.

P.S. Women and girls’ struggles aren’t over.[/quote]
