Absolutely disgusting. This is such a massive issue here in Latin America, I hate how scared I have to be all the time of the men around me.
-
Gross. Iām sorry you have to put up with that.
-
My wife is Latina and she definitely complains much more about this than Western women have. Machista behavior is too normalized.
-
Machistas fucking suck. My father is one and it's cost him his immediate and extended family. He's practically all alone.
-
-
thats fucking nasty. im sorry you have to worry about that
-
-
With the number of politicians/mayors who get killed each year in Mexico, how in the hell is someone allowed to get that close to her? Holy shit.
-
Mexican here, this was an act. She was in a great deal of political pressure because a prominent politician/activist not associated with the regime of the ruling party, Morena, was killed and she tried to minimize it.
AMLO, the former president, founder of Morena, used to do this ridiculous acts too. Somehow a rando could walk to him taking a (fan) letter out from from his jacket, and hug him, in national TV, while his massive security team did absolutely nothing. Claudia Sheimbaum also has a massive security apparatus, this doesnāt happen without them allowing it.
The guy apparently has appeared in older videos as part of her security team, and in some angles you can see he has a holster. We Mexicans joke that all the randos doing these ridiculous but very convenient acts have an army haircut. So far it has held true, your kids do better acting at the spring festival.
Just as people demand Trump to stop distractions about the Epstein files, people here demand Sheinbaum to stop distractions and solve the public execution of Carlos Manzo by the cartels.
-
If I were the president of Mexico I wouldnāt be mingling in crowds like this at all, but yeah her security was wayyy too slow on the draw.

My boobs got groped in public the first year they were appealing to men. I didn't even realize what had happened at first.
Edit: I'm trans and my boobs became first attractive to men in my 40s. The incident I'm describing happened in the US.
-
I'm not sure if that's better or worse than assuming you were a cis woman and it happened at like 13. Because I've heard of that happening too.
-
That happened to my ex-wife, by a family member.
That she was expected to forgive and not make faces around afterward.
-
-
what.....where does this come from that its fine to do this? jesus.
-
The country that elected the "grab them by the pussy" President?
-
I have the same question because I believe that person is not a loaf of bread1so I also question whether they live in Estonia. I like to think we're better than that here nowadays (30 years ago might have been different, 90s were hell).
1 Eesti leib means Estonian bread in, well, Estonian
-
-
Such uncivilized behavior... This happened in Estonia? I guess people who have no respect for personal boundaries and autonomy exists everywhere, unfortunately. But on that note, most people are decent folks, only overshadowed by the idiots. Personally I've (luckily?) only had good experiences with the people while living here.
-
-
wtf
-
Scumbags like this only scream/harass/physically attack decent democratically elected politicians like Claudia Sheinbaum, Justin Trudeau, Keir Starmer...

People is talking in MĆ©xico, everybody is saying (including me) that is a smoke screen for the last events that have took place in the country: Waldos' incident in Hermosillo and Carlos Manzo's murder in Uruapan, both happening the same day, the Day of the Dead's eve.
Edit: If really is a smoke screen, Morena is showing us once again that you always can get lower. Only they can use a real problem like women harassment to make people forget that Mexico is mad and we want a real change.
Edit 2: It's already happening: https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2025/11/05/politica/ony-y-onu-mujeres-respaldan-a-sheinbaum-tras-episodio-de-acoso I hate this goverment so much
-
You're saying she wanted to be groped, that she orchestrated it? That's pretty fucked up to say. Anything to allow this type of behavior, right?
-
If I'm reading the edit correctly, cappucino is saying that women being harrassed is a real problem in Mexico and that Morena is fucked up enough to use it as a distraction from other serious issues.
Edit; they're also blaming the party, not her specifically. Reading up on her, I think she's OK. The party seems corrupt though.
-
watch the video. if it were fake and staged then when you see the video of the act it looks like nothing. Again, the guy in the video holds her shoulder and leans in for a kiss, but stops short of kissing her because he was told to by her security. Are you a white american? I believe mexicans over you
Again, if this were not taged then obviously youre in the right to be upset, but there is a potential this was staged. Why couldnt this have been staged as the mexican people in this thread keep saying
-
You can imagine how much we have seen this kind of behavior before. Women that are obviously culprit, mocking off real victims of sexual abuse, wanting to be shielded by sorority. Here Claudia Sheinbaum "is another victim", she felt harrasded, like Carlos Manzo did when he asked for help for its city and was completly ignored.

Se pueden atender dos problemas al mismo tiempo. El gobierno es un asco pero no entiendo que tiene que ver la noticia de la ONU con la explosiĆ³n del waldos
-
La ONU estĆ” respaldando a Claudia, probablemente todo el mundo se entere de lo que le pasĆ³ a ella debido ya que la ONU estĆ” relacionada ahora, lo que me da mucha rabia es que ahora existe una mujer viuda, que ahora es alcaldeza de Uruapan. ĀæQuiĆ©n la respalda a ella y lo que le pueda pasar? Acaba de pasar completamente a segundo plano.

Men are pigs
-
Pigs don't grope women.
-
And pigs are smart animals, even when not compared to sexual offenders.
-
-
"Usual suspects" rhetoric, but with sex instead of race.
Fuck off.
-
Thanks for the generalization.
-
The same creep who whines and cries and complains about how the HR department is a conspiracy to oppress white men will be cornering the fucking CTO in the break room at the first opportunity.
Only way to deal with these assholes is to shove them in a concrete box until they sober up and learn manners.
-
I mean you're not wrong, but women aren't much better. If this man runs for office tomorrow, 50% of women would probably vote for him.
-
But they won't grope him in public
-
-
-
I support beatings for such people.
-
How about just arrest and prosecution and actually serious sentencing for sexual assault? Because thatās, you know, not extrajudicial.
-
I wish. Most people don't even get serious times for murder. They get remission for some reason and kill someone again when they're out. Serving time doesn't change their behaviour. It might work for some people but it definitely doesn't work for some. Where is justice if you can't prevent it after seeing their previous misdemeanors?
-
The hand breaking could absolutely be doled out judicially. He didnāt say it should be done without due process.
-
-
If we're going to break out cruel and unusual punishments, we should start with the ruling class that is responsible for way more death and suffering than this guy.
-
No opposing to that! Though they deserve much worse. It should be like this: Punishments are scaling as one's class, so they should know their responsibilities better. If you see yourself above the society, you deserve punishment. And I fear it's pretty common among the ruling class around the world.

That's a strange picture, considering how women have never pushed for equal representation in blue collar work or any of the 'shitty' jobs.
Incel chimes in
Journey level construction worker here. Your statement is simply incorrect. This fight has been going on for decades. The EEOC did a report on this a couple years ago and found that women and black people either flatly denied work or are subjected to widespread discrimination, harassment and violence. Iāve seen years of this behavior everything from sexual assault to threats of lynching. https://19thnews.org/2023/07/construction-industry-women-people-of-color-discrimination/
Idk, man, I work in a dirty southern US factory and half of our workers are women.
One search for "women's rights blue collar" and I find this study, so, false. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26967056
Also, have you not heard of Rosie the Riveter? lol
just flat out lie out of nowhere lol. lay off the podcasts for a while
You know, you could always keep your dumbass mouth shut.
Man, people out here just lying what they feel like before doing a basic search. I have dumb ideas in my head from time to time too, but I look em up to see if I didn't just hear something wrong first.
Women absolutely have pushed to break down barriers in the trades and blue collar fields. Women are also demeaned, under-considered, and sexually harassed every step along the way.
Weird, I guess I just hallucinated that presentation, put on by a painter(the kind who paints several kilometer long bridges)(who was a woman), I saw that included a part about encouraging the women in the room to get into trades.
Idiot.
Not sure how it's elsewhere, but in Germany most woman in blue collar jobs quit within the first year of training, because they are not taken seriously by teachers and colleagues (not sure where i read this.. i think there was a study last year)
Not at all true, there are certainly organisations pushing for equality for women in blue collar work. First search engine result
