Mexico: Feminists Can Dish It Out, But Can't Take It

Born in Chile, the feminist anthem "A Rapist in Your Path'' has become an international phenomenon, with activists in countries from Latin America to the U.S. and Europe staging public performance to denounce violence and human rights abuses against women.

Almost as quickly, it has spawned a series of videos of Mexican men and male teens appearing to mock the anthem _ sparking criticism in social and traditional media and among women's activists and allies.

"How dare you mock us! Only we are allowed to mock things we don't like!"

So the videos that surfaced this week were seen by many as macho, disrespectful or at best tone-deaf in a country where killings of women are a rising phenomenon that go largely unpunished.

The first to emerge involved the under-17 team of Mexico City soccer club America. A handful of players in a locker room, three of them shirtless, are shown laughing and dancing to the catchy chant, which translates as: "And the fault was not mine, neither where I was, nor how I was dressed,'' and, "The rapist is you.''

In the second video, two men who are apparently Mexican marines gyrate and swivel their hips to a recording of the chant in what looks to be a military barracks. If the first was ascribed by some to youthful naivete, the latter was troubling given that Mexican soldiers and other security forces have repeatedly been implicated in human rights abuses including torture and rape.

This is called joie de vivre, feminists. You should try it some time.

Perhaps the most controversial was the third, shared on Instagram by frontman MC Babo of the prominent hip-hop group Cartel de Santa, which is based in a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey and was once nominated for a Latin Grammy.

My favorite song of theirs is 'Perros.'

In the video, a mashup of three scenes from existing music videos by the group is set to the sound of male voices singing the anthem while women in plunging-neckline costumes dance suggestively. Babo is shown lounging with other scantily clad women and a group of masked men surround a frightened woman whose hands are tied.

Maynne Alexa Cortes, a 26-year-old feminist psychologist said the videos show "not a single ounce of empathy'' and that violence against women is "made invisible'' among many men.

In a world in which 'himpathy' is verboten, and 'fempathy' is demanded.

It's almost as feminists really believe that women are superior to men...

"They do not understand what is going on,'' Cortes added.

They understand just fine. You're engaging in theater, you are trying to solicit asspats and somebody made fun of you for being sneaky and manipulative.

"have yet to yield results so far."

That sums up modern feminism at least in the U.S. The other 200 laws against pay inequity didn't solve the "gender wage gap", but if you pass this one it will. The other 100 programs to encourage girls to go into X (STEM, fire fighting, etc.) didn't fox the gap, but we know this 101rst one will (aside from the fact the STEM gap doesn't actually exist, but we'll continue to not include the social sciences). We know the 200 other laws / campaigns to address violence against women didn't work, but we swear we could solve it without addressing violence in society in general (ignoring the fact that 50% of reciprocal DV is initiated by women so DV against women can be cut by 33% simply by telling women to keep their hands to themselves).

They need to start thinking outside the feminist box if they really want to address the issues they claim to want to address.

If the stats are right in the article then around Around 3600 Women killed annually in Mexico out of 31000+. The rest are expendable males. I can see why the gynocentric twats think it is gender based violence against women.
