Claudia Sheinbaum says she is pressing charges because "a line must be drawn" against the harassment of Mexican women.

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.

    Your position is as ludicrous today as it was yesterday. But at least today you seem to realize that it needs defending. Nothing you wrote here is remotely convincing. You’re manufacturing the appearance of circumstantial evidence at absolute best and straining through a heap of passive sexism to do it. But at least trying to explain yourself is progress from your lame attempt at haughtiness in the other thread. Eat shit, y’all.

      So this right here is a picture of you agreeing with what i just said. I’m still not going to debate you over whether or not i support women, my post history speaks for itself and i dont need to justify myself to you. But if youre going to continue posting factually inaccurate bullshit for sympathy points when theres actual real issues then yeah, imma call you out on it.

      Was this sexual assault? Yes. Does being undeniably sexually assaulted absolve her of all possible crimes, future, past, and present? You certain seem to think so, considering the mere discussion that there MIGHT be more going on WITH THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO is sexist.

      Youre not fucking reading at all, so yeah. Im not going to respond to you directly, but if i see your bullshit elsewhere ill call you out there too.

      Edit:had to bold my last statement, they immeditely proved my point yet again.

        What is it exactly that you think I agreed with?

        And yes, son, we’re all aware of how the post history works. Stop posting pictures and be specific. Your credibility is zero with me and I’m not going to strain to pull your point out of a screenshot.

        And suggesting she staged her own sexual assault is not holding a leader’s actions to a higher degree of scrutiny. It’s a disgusting accusation in a long tradition of discrediting female victims.
