“These men think they’ve done nothing wrong”: the philosopher who tried to understand Gisèle Pelicot’s rapists (via reddit.com).

They came from every class, from every age group (the youngest was 27, the oldest 74) – a lorry driver, a soldier, a journalist, a DJ.

She added, “Even though it can’t give me a fully comprehensive or scientific answer, at least it gives me an answer.”
