Rape survivor and activist Hazel Behan criticized former MMA fighter Conor McGregor's belief in his qualifications for the Irish presidency. She expressed that this reflects an alarming normalization and acceptance of sexual crimes against women in society. Behan emphasized that men who commit such offenses continue to receive societal praise, revealing deep-rooted issues in attitudes towards sexual violence. Her comments urge a re-examination of societal values and the accountability of individuals with histories of sexual crimes.
"The fact that he thinks he can run for the Áras shows just how accepted sexual crimes against women have become in our society."
"Men who commit these crimes are still applauded, and that reveals a serious issue in our attitudes toward sexual violence."
