Podemos MEP and former minister Irene Montero has subscribed to the feminist activist’s thesis Julia Salander who defended this week that “all men are potential rapists.” Lisbeth Lisbeth was involved in a heated debate with Antonio Naranjo on television, which she ended up fleeing without having finished providing arguments to support her thesis.
Irene Montero appeared on social media this Saturday to support Salander and his contribution to potential rapists. The podemita MEP assures that “saying ‘all men are potential rapists’ is to underline that gender-based violence is structural and this is not an isolated case: machismo is a social and cultural norm that legitimizes any man – all men – to exercise violence against any woman.
To say “all men are potential rapists” is to emphasize that gender-based violence is structural and not an isolated case: that sexism is a social and cultural norm that legitimizes any man – all men – to exercise violence against any woman.

Montero adds that “this is why we also say that sexist aggressors are not an exception or a rarity but ‘healthy children of patriarchyMachismo legitimizes and naturalizes sexist violence, it makes us not recognize as violence what is violence.
In another message, Irene Montero again mentions the non-consensual kiss of Luis Rubiales has Jenny Hermoso. “At first, many people even saw it as a funny anecdote and many people understood for the first time there that a non-consensual kiss is sexual violence.” “One in two women has experienced some form of gender-based violence. So think about it, what does that tell us about the aggressors? It may not be a simple reflection but it is necessary: ”if you have not been, neither he, nor him… then who?”
Julia Salander, who was on the program this Thursday On everyone’s lips, of Four, that “all men are potential rapists.”
The program showed a fragment of the podcast The meaning of beerin which the activist makes these statements and then explains her point: “Not all men are rapists, but when we analyze rapes, we see that the aggressors are men.”
“That’s what is being said, it’s not that you, as an individual, are a rapist, but that there is a very clear pattern between who is the aggressor and who is the victim. “We have to be able to do something at the level of public policies,” defended the guest, who connected to the show by videoconference. “I understand that saying this generates a lot of reluctance and it hurts a little to hear it, but it’s the reality.”
