Majority Comments who challenged the validity of the complaint against him Alexis Georgoulisunder the post Nepheli Hatzioannidu, founder of the Wonder Women online platform, was from women on her website on Tuesday. And it was so intense that for the first time Ms. Hatzioannidu wondered if she had written something wrong. Her own comment focused on how “it’s appalling that alleged victims are being targeted so much more often than alleged abusers” and that “over the past few hours reporting of violence has become a political game and no one is wondering, three years after as complainthow this person represents us as a country in Europe.”

“The presumption of innocence is, of course, valid and should be valid, that’s what democracy means,” says Mrs. Hatzioannidu “K”., “but we don’t have to hide behind it.” Some of the comments shocked her, mostly because they came from women, some of whom doubted that a man like him should be doing the intended actions. “There is a terrible notion that rapists are always monsters, whatever that sounds like in our minds,” he says. At the same time, he emphasizes that such a question is always supra-partisan.

“We cannot play political games with abuse, it must be clear that in every field and in every industry there are people who commit crimes – this does not stigmatize a party or an industry or anything else,” he states.

Obviously everyone is waiting for her decision Justice. But this particular piece of news, in which the alleged perpetrator is not only an MEP but also a very popular and handsome actor, also seems to have highlighted the inner misogyny of many women. OUR Georgia Petrakisprofessor of sociology at Panteillon University and former director of the Laboratory for Gender Studies, says “K” that it doesn’t surprise her at all that there are women who support ideas such as that the news is false because what woman wouldn’t want to have sex with this guy, or that since they were in a relationship it couldn’t have been raped , or that it is a politically motivated lie.

“On the side of the strong”

“Many women support men because they are the stronger sex, they join forces with the stronger sex to survive, but more and more assert their intelligence and their social experience,” she notes. “Aggressiveness and obsession with a woman is associated with strength — we find it in both the beautiful and the ugly,” she says.

“It’s important to remember that just because a person is a woman doesn’t mean they’ve given up on gender stereotypes – if you don’t have a feminist approach, patriarchy has passed to you.” – says Anna Vuyuka “K”., sociologist and advocacy manager for Diotima, Center for Gender Stereotyping and Equality. “Our gender is not enough. Of course, women will be against women, especially when it comes to a person who is widely known,” he notes. There is an opinion that beautiful people should not be raped or insulted. “There are circumstances and contexts where ‘no’ is not understood, so once again our desire and free will are nullified — just as in the past it seemed unthinkable to have rape in a marriage or relationship, while the data shows that the vast majority are Abusers. ex-partners are now coming, so rape is now considered unthinkable when the alleged abuser does not meet some criteria of beauty, ”he adds.

Speaking about the profile of the rapist, he emphasizes that he was associated not only with beauty, but even with a certain class, a specific job, and more. “Let’s not forget that politically, there is no monopoly that has sexist, oppressive, offensive behavior in its space,” he emphasizes, adding: “Common experiences at the level of oppression must become visible, conscious.”
