The Shocking Case That Exposes Rape culture's deep roots!

Video Description

This week on The Tea, Myriam Francois dives into a candid conversation with Salma El-Wardany, feminist, powerhouse author, poet, and creator of her substack The Sunday Cervix. Together, they unpack the harrowing case of Gisèle Pelicot—a French grandmother who was drugged and sexually assaulted by at the very least 72 men, orchestrated by her husband, over a nine-year nightmare. As the trial reaches its conclusion, what does this shocking story reveal about rape culture and the global rollback of women’s rights? From Salma’s deeply personal revelations about surviving rape to dissecting societal complicity in sexual violence, this episode confronts hard truths about the persistence of male violence in a post-#MeToo world. With pop culture phenomena like Love is Blind Habibi, "trad wives," and the Kardashians shaping gender norms, how do they influence the fight for equality? Expect raw honesty, cultural critique, and hard-hitting discussions about: - The Gisèle Pelicot case and its implications. - Systemic failures in tackling sexual violence. - Consent and grey areas - Hook-up culture, pornography, and their impact on feminism. - Beauty standards, hypersexualization, and capitalism's grip on female empowerment. - Men’s role in the feminist movement and what lies ahead. Salma and Myriam hold nothing back in this eye-opening episode that calls us to question, reflect, and act. 💥 🔗 Watch now to join the conversation. https://patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink INFORMATION AND HELP IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS A VICTIM OF RAPE OR SEXUAL ABUSE: UK: If you are in immediate danger, call 999 and ask for the police.  If you are over the age of 16, living in England & Wales, and have been affected by any form of sexual violence or abuse, specialist and confidential support is available 24/7.
