‘Is it breasts you want?’ – Woman pins down ‘sex pest’ in the street, strips off and rubs her breasts on his face
This is the bizarre moment a woman
pinned down a ‘sex pest’ in the street,
stripped off and rubbed her breasts on
his face as he squirmed on the ground
in a shocking anti-sexual harassment
stunt.
The footage shot in Ribeirao Preto city
centre, south east Brazil, shows a young
saleswoman, who had been handing
out flyers, pinning a man to the ground
with her foot as she accuses him of
pestering her in public.
A crowd of bemused onlookers watches
as the t-shirt-clad woman berates the
unidentified man on the pavement,
telling him she is fed up of being
‘touched and sexually harassed while
just doing her job.’
The alleged assailant pleads for her to
stop, claiming he ‘was out shopping
with his wife and has done nothing
wrong.’
But as the man protests his innocence
the irate female, who is not named,
shouts: ‘I’m fed up being treated like a
sex object. Is it boobs you want?’
Then in a shocking scene the seller
strips off her top, exposing her breasts
and seconds later straddles the
supposed offender.
Bending over her alleged attacker, she
slaps him around the face then
proceeds to pummel his face with her
bare chest.
Some bystanders support her actions
and urge her on, while others are
outraged with one woman shouting:
‘This is absurd, there is no justification
for doing this. How can you do this in
front of children in the city centre?
You’re disrespecting women with your
actions.’
Others say the woman is courageous
and ‘this has humiliated and exposed
the attacker.’
But the outrageous display is not all
that it seems. The incident was staged
by a theatre crew at the end of last
year.
The group wanted to highlight the
unwelcome attention that can often
turn into sexually explicit and
degrading comments, coupled with
intimidating approaches to women
working in public places.
