"Gisèle Pélicot asked for an open public trial so that the faces of the RAPISTS can be seen. And the media are filming her and taking her out. It is unfair and disgusting. Let us feminist women do what she asked for “that shame changes sides”, by spreading their faces in print."

What's missing from this picture is the relentless suppression of female scientists, scholars, and writers. I doubt this guy has ever heard of Lise Meitner, Nettie Stevens, Eunice Foote, Marietta Blau, Chien-Shiung Wu, Harreit Zuckerman. He has no ken of the obstacles geniuses

#IStandWithReemAlsalem who advocates for rights of girls and women at the UN. She speaks for millions. We cannot allow them to hound her from her position, as women's rights are more contested than they have been for 50 years, from many directions. Please show your support.
