Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has said she will press charges against a man who groped her during a public appearance.
Mobile phone footage of the incident on Tuesday shows Sheinbaum speaking to a group of supporters on a street near the National Palace in Mexico City. A man approaches her from behind and attempts to kiss her on the neck and place his hands on her body.
“My view is, if I don’t file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?” Sheinbaum said at a news conference on Wednesday.
The real world has laws against sexual harassment. Which is what she’s using. You are a fucking enabler.
Problem here is being among the public and not preparing for this scenario. That is reality.
“Just expect people to harass you all the time as a woman, we don’t need to correct for anything else.”
I’m starting you think you grope women in public when you can get away with it.
Good job assuming you know me.
It’s reality. Accept it or live in your bubble.
The reality of sexual assault? Yeah I know of it. Clearly you love victim blaming.
Good for you.
Wait, okay, so women should be aware that they could be groped or assaulted anytime they go out in public. I can totally agree; that’s a sickening and sad reality we live in - and it does happen. I think more men should be aware of just how common it is, too.
But what’s the point of your comments? You’re saying she should have been aware, and should understand how the world works, and that is reality and whatever but it seems like your implication is that she is wrong to be pressing charges?
She is a public figure. I’d expect she would be prepared for this scenario but apparently not?
And no I don’t think she is wrong pressing charges. This behaviour is disgusting. But it’s how the world works. She should’ve been aware of it and taken the proper precautions, especially in her position.
Brother, you’re victim blaming to the max. She’s just out and about and your answer to this event should be that this guy is the one that is wrong, instead of her being the one thats wrong because she didn’t prepare enough
On top of that, he puts all the blame on her, and not an iota on her security guards, who one would presume, in a country where assassinations are all too common, are there to protect her from all forms of assault, not just sexual assault. They failed badly at their job, and if there’s a woman who should have felt confident this wouldn’t have happened, it would be her.
As a public figure they should know better than to “be and and about”.
This smells more like a predetermined move to get the public on your side. As disguising it may be. I share no sympathy for either side.
Of course she has security walking around, but there’s only so much you could do.
Bigger question is, why are you so adamantly suggesting its her fault when instead its the guy who should not be touching other people in uncouth ways.
Because it could have easily been prevented and yet it wasn’t.
Mexico has history of political manipulation. Who’s at fault has zero meaning here.
Do you think the President of a country should just stay indoors all the time?
No but I think they would have a better understanding of how their people work.
You continue to push this “she should have known it would happen” idea. You’re paying lip service to how bad it is and how she’s not wrong to press charges but you keep weirdly pointing to “she should have expected this”.
Why?
Because that’s my opinion. Deal with it.
Anyway I’m done here. Bye.
What’s your opinion? You’re saying something unrelated to her pressing charges, implying a link to her pressing charges (either intentionally or not), and then not really denying the link you’ve implied 😂 Very weird behaviour!
Oh you can’t handle people calling out your support of sexual assault? Shame.
