She felt uncomfortable telling Nègre that she wanted return to the office to use the toilet, so told him she was cold as an excuse to go back to the building. But she says he walked away, guiding them towards the banks of the River Seine, so she told him she needed to find a toilet urgently.

"He looked me right in the eye and said, 'Oh, do you need a wee?'

"I felt like a child. I thought it was really weird the way he looked at me, almost gleeful."

She says he directed her to the door of a storage cupboard under a bridge on the Seine and said: "You can do it here."

Now, Anaïs is one of nearly 250 women who believe Nègre drugged them in alleged incidents between 2009 and 2018, subjecting them to what is known as chemical submission, where drugs are used to gain control over someone.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has confessed to sexually abusing a maid while he was a teenager, according to a report.

In a speech on December 29, Duterte said that he had confessed to a priest going into a maid’s room while she slept and placing his fingers on her genitals, the BBC reported.

The remarks were not unusual for Duterte, who has frequently come under fire for making statements that demean or encourage violence against women. Last June and July, women’s rights activists gathered in Manila to protest Duterte’s treatment of women, including his remarks that communist rebels should be “shot in the vagina.”

You're wrong again.

Maybe I’m kinda wrong about this one, although I correctly stated that it was not part of his indictment.

But you say:

wrong again

How was I wrong before? What proof have you brought to be able to claim this?

Please refrain from conspiracy theories and actuality prove something for a change. This quadrupling down without a shred of evidence is becoming awkward.

No u!

Really? Are we in a fucking schoolyard here?

You're doing the equivalent of stomping your feet and putting your fingers in your ears and yelling "LA LA LA LA" to ignore the very real truths that men in power abuse it.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The very real and actual truths for which you have absolutely not provide even the slightest sliver of evidence…

Your government sucks. And the rest of the world doesn’t even come close. Deal with it and don’t use sexual abuse accusations as a way to make yourself feel less bad about it.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding why I made that comment. It wasn't to relieve personal guilt.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago

I understand perfectly why you made that comment. It’s like the MAGAts claiming “iT’s BoTh SiDEs!!!”.
