Big story going on in Spain right now.

Spain wants Rubiales kiss row to be 'MeToo moment'

Luis Rubiales kissing Jenni Hermoso unleashes social tsunami in Spain

Luis Rubiales: Spain coaching staff resign over Hermoso kiss row

That whole thing with Rubiales is disgusting for so many reasons, besides being unwanted, it trampled all over what should have been a huge moment of achievement for the Spanish women’s football team. And he has the nerve to defiantly insist that it was consensual, despite the players’ words to the contrary and dig into his wrongheaded notion that he did nothing wrong. It’s good that he finally got the boot.

I am really trying to not let my past experience of being in Spain when I was a college student prejudice my opinion but I encountered quite a bit of naked sexism and sexual harassment while there. I would have thought that things had changed.

The celebrities are grabbing the spotlight for this but the majority of the cases being brought by the Adult Survivors Act have been brought by women who were former inmates against prison guards, prison doctors and other workers at prisons and jails.

If anyone knows who Austin Wolf is, he's finally had his day of reckoning having been arrested for child porn.

Egregious behavior.

No surprise that the NYT took halfway down the page to mention that he is a Trump appointee.

Gross, and does not surprise me one bit. They give off that vibe.

Until I read this article, I had never heard of them. I searched for the Vogue piece that the article referenced and boy, did Vogue give one of them a lot of real estate in the magazine for that one brother’s wedding. If I were the person who wrote and more importantly, approved that spread in Vogue, I’d be mortified. As much as the people in Vogue run with and document the movers and the shakers, someone had to have known something about these guys.

Has anyone been following this case? This is so sickening that I had reservations about posting when I read about it weeks ago. Since we are posting about Sean Combs, people might have the constitution to also read about this violation.
