A Brazilian man received a justified beating when a Brazilian MMA fighter discovered he was masturbating to her photoshoot, according to MMA Mania’s Ryan Harkness.
On a picturesque Rio De Janerio beach thirteen days ago, Brazilian amateur MMA fighter Joyce Vieira was participating in a photoshoot for a swimwear company, according to The Sun. Vieira noticed a man awkwardly standing off to the side of her and her photographer; she looked down and noticed the man was visibly erect and making animalistic noises, according to Deadspin.
Vieira approached the man and asked him to stop; the man allegedly said to Vieira, “Why, you don’t like it? Come here,” according to Deadspin. It was at this moment that this depraved creep knew he had messed with the wrong woman. Vieira threw a vicious strait right at the man’s face and began raining down punches on the masturbating creep, according to MMA Mania.
The man went a step further into the land of the wretched when he decided to throw a weak, soft jab at Vieira. This punch had no effect on her and she responded with a swift head-kick using her right shin bone to stagger the man, according to Deadspin.
“The punch made me even angrier. I wanted to kill him,”

As the fight continued, the commotion caused a few citizens to come and see what was happening. This caused the man to retreat and flee the scene of the crime, according to MMA Mania. The man was arrested hours later after a police report was filed, according to MMA Mania.
While the man may have been arrested and briefly put in jail, he is now out roaming the streets of Brazil, according to The Sun. Incidents like this can cause tremendous harm for the victim and can have lingering effects on the person who was degraded. Unfortunately for women today, these incidents are common and the punishments–in some cases–are less than severe.
I feel that men–like myself– need to have more accountability for our actions and attitudes. We need to recognize that some of the harmful behaviors and rhetoric that men exhibit may in fact lead to men thinking that what they are doing is normal or that the woman “Wants it,” like this degenerate allegedly said to Vieira. In my opinion, incidents like this make all men look bad. Even worse, it has affected Vieira’s life immensely.
“We feel powerless. It’s very strange because he’s going to be in the same city as me, and who knows he might be in the same places.”

Vieira should never have to feel frightened or anxious to walk around her own city. She should never have to get into a physical altercation with another human being because of their sexual deviancy. Men need to stop viewing women as objects placed on this planet for their twisted desires. I feel that we are slowly moving in the right direction in our treatment of women, but incidents like this demonstrate how much further we still need to come as a community.
Do you think punishments should be more severe for crimes like this? Let me know in the comments.
