A group of Brazilian men harassing a woman in Russia, duping her to repeat offensive words in Portuguese (language unknown to her) has made headlines worldwide.
The news have not surprised me, though.
Brazil is one of the world's worst places for a woman. It is a deeply patriarchal society, although the vast majority of its men refuses to perform the duties allegedly expected from fathers - sobreity, hard work, support, commitment to the family. No: they see bringing home money as their only responsability and refuse to share domestic tasks with their partners, who, in their minds, must serve and obey them.
Brazilian men are also violent. In 2017, there were 4,473 cases of women murdered in Brazil. Despite being a State Party to the CEDAW - Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (NY, 1979), Brazil does not accomplish its obligations resulting thereof, like collecting data and reporting, so one cannot find any official data on domestic violence figures in Brazil.
Brazil deliberately hides how appalling are its rates on violence against women.
Brazilian law simply treats discrimination against women as if it did not matter at all. Act number 7.716/1989, which defines crimes resulting from discrimination based on race, colour, religion or origin, does not contemplate sex or gender, so sexist discrimination remains unpunished, even though the Constitution determines that the law punish every discriminatory behaviour that collides with constitutional principles (articles 3, IV, 5, I and XLI). There are even soit disant "jurists" that oppose sexism as a crime.
In Brazil, most women still insist on being called "senhorita" (miss) when such treatment has been abolished in Germany (1972) and France (2012) because it belows and discriminates unmarried women and so women as a whole, whereas it has no male correspondent. Once mothers, Brazilian women teach their sons and daughters to reproduce sexist behaviour.
In Brazil, manliness is associated with rudeness, loudness, sexism and violence.
My advice to you, foreign reader: if you are planning to visit Brazil, please think it over. There are far more beautiful and safer places in the world to visit. Besides, a country that trreats women badly does not deserve to be visited.

Brazil Hides Demographic Explosion
IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), a governmental agency in charge of census and surveys on matters like agriculture, entrepreneurship, social indicators, lies to the world when it claims that Brazilian fertility rate has dropped to 1,8 children per woman nowadays.
The evidence of what I say comes from public data as follows.
Brazilian population in 1996 amounted to 164,3 million people. In 2016, it reached 207,7 million inhabitants.
These data show that, in 20 years only, Brazilian population has suffered a 43 million people increase.
This corresponds to a little more than the entire population of Ukraine in 2017, of 42,418 million people.
Another comparison can be made with the population of Spain in 2016, of 46,698 million inhabitants. From 1996 to 2016, Brazilian population increased an entire Spain, minus 6,5217 percent of its residents.
In the base of the Brazilian social pyramid, women often have more than 5, five children. In the so called favelas (slams), and also amongst homeless people, drug addicts, isolated and rural communities. Brazilian authorities and scholars, driven by yet unidentified reasons, refuse to acknowledge the mere existence of this daunting reality, that, year after year, condemn an thousands or millions of babies to a miserable, unhealthy, unsafe and hopeless life.
People from all over the world that read me, please put pressure on Brazilian government to take action on this problem.

Brasil: Explosão demográfica
É mentira do IBGE que a fecundidade brasileira caiu para 1,8 filhos por mulher.
A prova disso são dados públicos:
Em 1996, a população brasileira era de 164,3 milhões de pessoas.
Em 2016, era de 207,7 milhões de pessoas.
Em apenas 20 anos (!), a população brasileira aumentou em 43 milhões de pessoas a mais.
Isso é praticamente TODA a população da Espanha.
Pensem nisso.
