Lorena Bernal: "I wish people wouldn't hate my sons for being men"
"I have three sons and I wish people wouldn't hate them for being men." The remark, made by Lorena Bernal, former Miss Spain and vvife of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, has peine the debate on hate speech against men within contemporary feminism. The statement, reported by El Mundo in an interview, was corrected by Bernal herself, who noted that the correct phrasing would have been "that people wouldn't hate them."
A slip of the tongue with ideological weight, corrected
The first comment in the thread pointed out a grammatical error that changes the meaning: the original headline omitted the passive construction, suggesting that she herself would hate her sons. Bernal clarified that her antiestéticar is that the world will hate them for being men. The linguistic precision is no trivial matter: it reveals the sensitivity surrounding a discourse that, according to some analyses, has turned into a systematic demonization of men.
Divided reactions: from mockery to support
The responses range from crude comments and personal attacks —"another fat woman, and she's a spiritual coach"— to critical support. One line of analysis argues that hatred of men is real and shows up in certain feminist currents, while another dismisses it as a meaningless anecdote. The mention of her sons aged 17, 14 and 11 adds concreteness to a mother's antiestéticar.
Who is speaking
Lorena Bernal, born in Argentina to Argentine parents, was Miss Spain in 1999. Her popularity as a model and her later marriage to an elite coach give her visibility. But hers is not the first statement by a public figure questioning certain excesses of feminism: actresses, writers and politicians have done so before. The difference is that she speaks as a mother of sons, not as a theorist.
What remains to be seen is whether this remark will have any lasting impact or will just be one more anecdote. What is certain is that, while mainstream feminism insists that hatred of men does not exist, a mother of three sons is asking that they not be hated precisely for being men. The fact needs no further interpretation.
