Misogyny in the gym: how sports fashion makes women the object of ridicule

On October 10, Shane Gillis, a regular comedian on Saturday Night Live, said during his monologue that when he goes to the gym, he is surprised to see how women "dress like whores" because of their shorts.

The Gégender Violence Prevention Congress closed its fourth edition this Sunday in Avilés with a second day focused on femicides and vicarious violence.

Graciela Atencio, journalist and director of Feminicidio.net, gave a talk on feminicide due to prostitution during the closing of the contest.

"The oldest hate crime is misogyny," the speakers pointed out as the central axis of the debate held in Avilés between November 8 and 9.
