Assignment: Spain, the kiss and the culture war
When Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso after her team\u2019s world cup victory last summer, it set a match to Spanish gender relations. On every chat show, on every campus, in every couple\u2019s bedroom, arguments started - does a kiss count as sexual violence? What is consent? Has feminism gone too far? 53% of Spaniards think it has, and that it is discriminating against men. Now, Rubiales is facing criminal trial. \u201cSe acab\xf3\u201d (it\u2019s over) trended after the kiss, but this battle is far from over. For Assignment, Sofia Bettiza travels to Madrid to hear how the Rubiales case tapped into a rift in Spanish society that has been splitting further apart for decades.
