Is there a source for the claim that she was aware of her husband's compulsion, taking upskirt pictures and such and him abusing their children? What she experienced was so degrading and evil, and I have respect for her strength in going public with it. Yet, if it’s true that she looked the other way while her husband harmed other women before, I wonder: what if she hadn’t been the one to suffer those rapes for 10 years, but another woman? and her husband was one of the 50 men to rape that woman?
This article is in French but it says that "in 2010, the year he moved to Mazan with his wife Gisèle, Dominique Pelicot had already had a run-in with the police, as revealed by Midi Libre. Aged 57, he was arrested in July in a shopping centre in Seine-et-Marne, caught filming under the skirts of customers with a miniature camera hidden in a pen."
I know this is a Twitter thread, but this is from a journalist who documented nearly all that was said during the trial in October.
In this series of tweets we're made aware Dominique Pélicot's son thought there were very few boundaries between him and his parents, and it's been reported Dominique and Gisèle had sex in their front of their children several times.
Other family members (including grandkids and Gisèle's own daughter) said he masturbated in public sometimes but she looked the other way.
Fascism thrives on ignorance and anti-intellectualism. Here are some ways you can combat it:
There is an ongoing literacy crisis. Teach kids how to read phonetically (other methods produce poor literacy) and introduce them to fun books, both fiction and educational non-fiction.
Teach kids about critical thinking and the scientific method.
You can also introduce kids to edutainment like Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, The Magic Schoolbus, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Beakman's World, etc.
Help kids develop media literacy skills by asking them literary analysis questions about the media they engage with. Even very young children can begin learning literary analysis if the questions are phrased in words they can understand.
Learn and help other people learn information literacy, ie, how to locate and evaluate information.
Learn the red flags of pseudoscience, and educate other people about them.
Educate people and share media on real science and real history, because fascist narratives are full of pseudoscience and pseudohistory. (Miniminuteman, Gutsick Gibbon and Bart D. Ehrman's YouTube channel are great, by the way!)
Make learning a joyful experience, and show people the beauty and wonder of what's real. Being a discouraging killjoy will spoil your efforts.
