Tribune. I fell asleep with a feeling of shame.
Shame of the reaction of Nicolas Hulot against the accusations of sexual assault contained in the report of the emission “Special sent” [broadcast Thursday, November 25 on France 2]. I’m ashamed for him and I tell myself it’s a height. That we, women, girls, little girls, let us be summoned, by law of silence who reigned in society up to #Metoo, and who still rages, to let closing on us the poison of shame who colonizes us when we are victims of sexual predators, and that it’s again we portions for them the shame in which they do not have access.
I’m ashamed that Nicolas Hulot prefaced the media space to reverse the prospects and take the role of victim. Her indignity, her cowardice, her posture, here are the real “dirt”. Not just towards women who denounce brutal acts, but towards all women, especially those who take their courage, their injuries and their apprehensions with both hands to expose the intimate bruised in the public space. Not because they suffer from the excess of narcissism that falls on our contemporaneity, but by coherence and moral integrity, for the sole purpose of advancing society and to revise to the zero tolerance the thresholds of acceptability sexist dominances and sexual violence.
I fell asleep with a feeling of shame and woke up with a feeling of disgust.
The word of women is not “sacred”
It’s ugly, a human who does not take his responsibilities. It’s odious someone who not only does not have the courage to meet yourself, to face the face-to-face with his conscience and ask for forgiveness, but who locks in violence. Nicolas Hulot has shown that he did not have the most small disposition to empathy to host the feelings of women who express their trauma and their lonely navigation in society, charged with this “knowledge” unspeakable of an oppressor to whom Life offered all projectors, smiles and supports, letting sink into an ever thicker shadow those who would delaborate to challenge myth …
And what taps me since yesterday, it is the Escade of Nicolas Hulot against the liberation of speech on gender violence. By repeating Elise Lucet that the word of women would have become “sacred”, he insinuated that she was now untouchable and that she could carry in her injury, the blind accusation, the trial of intent, in one All the injustice that is precisely what this released word seeks to fight. This rhetoric inversion is of great perversity.
