Anyone else a bit baffled about the Gisele Pelicot case?

Did she really have no idea that she was being drugged? Surely she had some suspicions?
Strong barbiturates have side effects don’t they?

Does anyone remember that porn star who was known as 'Big Throat'? At the time, probs the 70's, she insisted that she was in control of her life. Decades later, she admitted to being
co-erced and abused. Maybe this new Lily is in the same boat.

Wasn't it Deep throat?

Thank you Skydancer for your post. The awful "Porn star" and her ilk should hang their heads in shame for the terrible damage they have caused by warping some Men's & Boy's perception of normal decent females. It's such a sad &dangerous state of affairs!
How do we get back from this?!?🤔

It’s not possible to eliminate Adult rated material from the web, it probably is possible to make all users prove their age every time they access a website.

It’s no more complex than the security to access financial sites or even restricted media access.

It is possible to change society's view on it. That was done with drink driving, etc.

Society expressly allows porn access in the same way as freedom of speech, I think that’s wrong but few others seem to be bothered.

Just the old school feminists who have been raising this issue forever but people rarely listen to them.

I disagree 90% of women and probably most men would like porn access restricted or stopped, so why isn’t it?.

I believe Galaxy is correct, it’s we old school feminists who have been repeatedly expressing concern about the damage pornography causes.

Ilovedogs focusses anger on the young woman in the news for having sex with hundreds of men. I’m angry with the hundreds of men for getting involved.

It makes a lot of money. The last figures I saw was it was watched by 50 % of men and I think that's a low figure.

Exactly - money talks, and it makes big money for many. Oh, and I'm not sure where that statistic came from, but I'd be willing to be that a fairly large chunk of the other 50% were lying!

This is a truly shocking case and extensively reported upon world wide.

I'm sorry to be blunt OP, but I don't understand why you're baffled by it? And suggesting that somehow she must have been suspicious and is somehow to blame.

Perhaps you should read the reports carefully and thoroughly before posting.

Exactly.
