Yes, it may be draconian - but ALL rapists like those in the appalling Pelicot case should be CASTRATED Understandably, considering the sheer horror of the case of Dominique Pelicot, the Frenchman who drugged his wife with sleeping pills over a ten-year period and filmed dozens of men he met via the internet raping her, most comments have come from women.
‘Women have very little idea of how much men hate them,’ Germaine Greer wrote in The Female Eunuch, accompanying many a 1970s feminist battle-cry that ‘All men are rapists’.
The case suggested that all men nurse dark predations in their heart and are capable of doing as the Pelicot men did.
Dominique Pelicot was jailed last week for fiming dozens of men raping his comatose wife.
Indeed, it is hard to argue with that sentiment, given the ordinariness of those 50 convicted in a French court last week, who included a fireman, a lorry driver, a soldier, a roof tiler, a nurse and a DJ.
