“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. They were single, they were married, they were fathers, they were not. They were such a perfect randomised cross-section of society that the world tied itself in knots to come to a sensible conclusion that wasn’t: “This is what men are.”
