Dare feminism 17, and many men and women are speaking out against this total lack of ethics
As a reminder, Oscar Jegou is accused of aggravated rape in Argentina, after events dating back to July 7, during the Blues' tour in Argentina. Thus, the maritime association announces: “Is the Deflandre public so prevented from thinking that a little restraint is impossible for them? We cannot believe it. But it must be said that the Stade Rochelais management did what was necessary for no discordant note be allowed in blind support for the player.” Overall, the association believes that the place of the victim is forgotten. “All the victims of sexual assault and rape are being violated here, all those who hesitate to tell their stories, all those who do not dare to file a complaint, all those who keep the hurt and the guilt to themselves and feel insulted by these vivas.”
And the feminist association extends its thoughts: “What do they have left to say to these women who have been forced, beaten, cheated, drugged, raped? “Nothing”shouts the stadium audience, cheering the man who is still charged with aggravated rape because he was committed in a meeting. Dare feminism 17, and many men and womenconcludes the press release, speak out against this total lack of ethics from Stade Rochelais and this public.”
