Radfems decide to harass in order to stop harassment

Today I want to start writing this blog so that I can share and collect lots of things I'm learning or I'm working at. I find Twitter and others very useless for expressing myself in many topics, so I hope this platform helps me. English is not my mother tonge, then if you are reading this you'll probably find several grammar mistakes. I'm sorry, I'll do my best, and I may change to spanish in some posts if it turns necessary.


I just finished studying some problems which I will be examined about next week, therefore my brain may not work as fine as I'd like to. Maybe I talk here later about this stuff.


Before going to bed, I've decided to watch some videos on Youtube. DalasReview has made a video blog about Álvaro Reyes -wait, we can call him Geremías instead. Álvaro seems to be a pseudonym. Personally, I think their parents didn't love him at all-. Geremías is a trendy youtuber who has almost half a million subscribers on his channel. This digit is easily understandable when you realize what subject is every video about: tutorials of how to meet, flirt, touch or date girls. Here you can see what I'm talking about.

The controversy is easy to find. This guy has been criticized by the whole Spanish-speaking Internet. He's got many fans, but think: this fans are generally introvert people who is not always able to argue with his detractors.

If it was not enough, around one year ago this youtuber uploaded a very offensive video where he taught how we can break up with our girlfriend. In this video, he disappears for a moment from the camera and we hear some girl yelling and crying while he's out. After some seconds, he comes back and tells to us that he's now single. Obviously, this video was removed from Youtube and from most popular multimedia webpages. You might find it out there and judge.

In Spain, dozens of women are every year murdered because of maleness and around 25000 men are denounced. There's also an intense discriminatory behavior in our society towards women -towards men too, but I'll write about this later-. This circumstances make the issue of sexism more significant. People who suffer from this problems, then, turns more sensitive. Therefore, radicalisms are born. Our hero, Geremías, was the subject of a harsh harassment few weeks ago, by a group of radical feminist or radfems. I recommend you to see this video and meditate about it. Is this violent answer a solution for our problem? What do you think?
