Well done to the host insisting they immediately put the "idiot" on camera.
I'm glad the host didn't let her continue after seeing what happened and called that shit out. Small glimpses of hope in humanity
Kinda, but that's almost the sad part? I don't want to say the host did anything wrong, he absolutely did not. But the fact that she tried to continue doing the story is the tradgey here.
Isa was just a woman at her job, and this entitled ass felt comfortable enough groping her to do so on camera. I'm giving a 0% chance this was the first time he has dkne doing something like this, it was just the time it was recorded. She didn't address it because there is a 100% chance she has had to deal with this behavior before. She was lucky in a sense to get this instant validation against his BS lies. It's easy enough for him to just laugh it off and keep going, but it's just so infuriating to see those sorts of laughs again and again.
The fact that this wasn't shocking to her, but was shocking to him, should be shocking to everyone else.
You are definitely right. That was kind of my point.
It's sad that her immediate response was to feel the need to remain "professional", instead of slapping the douchebag.
Hopefully more hosts, producers, and maybe eventually the public can start making this behavior not ok
I'd imagine that is the reaction that at least 50% of male reporters would have had.
Of course, most of us dudes are so rarely sexually assaulted in public like this that it would be a unique thing, further underscoring the parent's whole point about the reporter's reaction being the most tragic part.
Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.
I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.
They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).
I'm a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I've had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It's a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what's happening.
The woman's reaction in this video is completely normal.
Thanks for this dose of reality. It doesn't matter who you are, I should not judge how anyone reacts to inappropriate touching (or just unexpected events in general).
Yeah, it looks like she was going to put up with it in order not to interrupt but the host absolutely had her back in identifying this creepy fucker.
Well done to Spain for making a concerted effort to combat this type of behavior. I lived there for a while a decade+ ago (jesus Christ, has it been that long…) and the sexual aggression from the men was rampant and mind blowing. The women, in my experience, formed a hard exterior against this type of behavior, so there was a balance, but balance doesn’t matter when someone has to become incredibly defensive just because the other people are incredibly aggressive. So I’m glad to see some kind of reckoning with this.
