Gender violence, far from 'monsters' and 'jackals'

2023-04-27T23:13:22.887Z


The president of Boca defended Villa, denounced by two women. He said that he is 'a very good human being in daily dealings'.


Jorge Amor Ameal, president of Boca, gave an interview after a long time.

On Sebastián Villa, the Colombian forward who is facing a trial for gender violence, he said: "What I would like is for Villa to play, to delight us playing. Villa is a very good human being in daily

dealings

... ".

Villa was denounced by two different women

.

One, for assaults, mistreatment and beatings.

The other reported a rape and an attempted femicide

.

For the first complaint he is being tried.

The second case has not yet been brought to trial.

What is Ameal's intention (and that of the club in general) by supporting the player?

Discredit the complainants?

Pretend that the player is applauded despite everything?

Assume that gender violence is a private matter

?

Cesare Lombroso was a 19th century Italian criminologist and physician. 

He held that criminality had physical and biological causes.

And he defined "physical traits in criminals": asymmetries in the skull, strange shapes in the ears or the jaw.

He classified profiles: "the crazy one", the "mentally ill", the "epileptic", the "passionate".

In short,

 he said that it was possible to tell who was a criminal by his physical appearance and his behavior

.

The Lombrosian theory was superseded in the last century.

It is clear that

there are no general profiles of murderers, abusers, abusers or pedophiles. 

But the Lombrosian theory - which gave rise to talk of "jackals", "monsters" and "beasts" - is supported by certain sectors of the patriarchy and the elites, because it is convenient.

Thus, they insist that the femicides, rapists and batterers "show it in their faces, in their appearance, in their treatment."

Well, nothing more wrong.

It is only a discriminatory and class postulate.

The reality shows it.

There are femicides in countries and closed neighborhoods.

There are rapists and beaters in royalty.

There are abusers and abusers in the Churches.

How is the Lombrosian theory explained in the face of

the massive abuse of women, girls and boys by the military, doctors and volunteers

in contexts of wars and natural catastrophes?

How is it explained that 70% of the abuses against boys and girls are within the family?

And that 70% of femicides are couples or exes? 

Neither batterers nor rapists have caved-in skulls or crooked jaws.

They can be

the kind neighbors who open the elevator door and pay the expenses in a timely manner.

The "don't mess around" should definitely be buried next to the Lombrosian theory.
