Juliano Cazarré is hit back on TV after spreading false data on gender violence
Comadre, you can't cover up! Actor Juliano Cazarré became the target of harsh criticism after participating in the GloboNews Debate on Tuesday night (12). When trying to defend his controversial event aimed at the male audience, he resorted to arguments without scientific basis and ended up taking a real class from the experts who shared the table with him.
The moment that made the internet revolt, comadre, was when Cazarré tried to relativize the data on violence in Brazil. He released the absurd claim that "more women killed men" than the opposite in the country, inventing numbers that there would be 2,500 murders committed by women against 1,500 femicides — all without presenting any source or official report to prove what he was saying.
The reaction was immediate, and equity consultant Ismael dos Anjos tried to deny the actor live. Ismael explained that the comparison, in addition to being inadequate, demonstrated a lack of knowledge about what femicide is (the murder of women motivated by gender) and that the real numbers of homicides in Brazil completely deny the actor's fanciful thesis.
Psychoanalyst Vera Iaconelli also gave Cazarré a reality check. She criticized the defensive and victimizing posture of many men who prefer to be offended than to listen to women's cry for security. "When women say 'stop killing us', they are not saying 'stop being men'. Be another type of man, rethink masculinity," the professional said, making it clear that the actor's crying was out of place.
Cazarré also tried to justify his stance by defending the event "The Lighthouse and the Forge", which mixes masculinity and Christianity, claiming that men and boys have become "victims" and have been "forgotten" by society in the last 20 years. A speech that, let's face it, completely ignores the real statistics of those who really suffer and die every day in our country.
In the end, it was ugly for the actor, who showed that he was more concerned with creating a discourse of male persecution than facing reality responsibly.
It's that story, bedpan... We even respect opinions, but lying data on television can't be swallowed, right? What did you think of his stance?
