There are individuals who are now discovering the full range of possibilities of gender-based violence. In fact, there are those who have not yet understood what is wrong with a man kissing a subordinate without consent. They are uncomfortable because suddenly they are in front of an accusing mirror. These hominids have acted like Rubiales throughout their entire existence. They’re the ones who’ve opined about interns’ breasts, who hug you without permission, who’ve made rude comments to you or, in short, the ones who’ve tried to rub their crappy masculinity against your ass and your daily life . In this folder there are from journalists to managers or presidents of clubs who are fond of brothels. Let’s broaden the focus: with the fall of Rubiales the problem does not end, it is the visible face of a structural system that perpetuates itself.
The icing on the cake of the president of the Federation crowns a cake of constant abuse of power that has been evident all the way to the World Cup. Historical success in Australia is the sole and exclusive property of women who have won despite characters like him and Jorge Vilda, who treated them in a despotic and paternalistic way when they demanded minimal improvements to compete with guarantees. They are heroines, too, those who stayed at home because they didn’t want to be part of the project of the guy with the testicles who considers them cattle. Imagine how unbearable it must be inside. Close your eyes and think, for a moment, of the vexations they and the generations that preceded them have had to endure: it’s not that we women are “learning to play football”, no. We are fighting against the weight of oppression dictated, written and validated by men.
And, at this time when there is also microwave posturing, there are the usual ones: those who stand in profile and do not appear next to the victim. In this bag there is 90% of what men’s football represents, starting with the indifference of the players and continuing with clubs that, for the most part, have limited themselves to saying in a low voice that Rubiales’ action was “improper” . The shame they do without immediately asking for his resignation is endless. Jenni Hermoso, top scorer in the history of women’s Barça, has not received the explicit support of what was her home: an organization that has in its statutes the fight to eradicate sexist attitudes. Let’s see how many of these wear the purple ribbon again next 8-M. Yes, that is violence too.
