    I didn’t like it

    And then…

    In comments later released by the Spanish football federation Hermoso - Spain’s all-time leading scorer - said the moment was a “natural gesture of affection”. “It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings,” the 31-year-old forward added.

            I get the sentiment but fuck… every time I see this type of comment it makes it seem as though women are meek powerless individuals it’s like backhanded feminism

        I don’t think either of you know how powerful a moment of elation like that can be. I think she gets it because she was there, living it too. Context, as always, is everything.
