I'm Brazilian and this week a torture and feminicide attempt case shocked the country. The article is in Portuguese, but you can translate it using Google (tap on the three dots in the right upper corner of your screen).
A woman was at a bar with her friend when an ex-fling spotted her. She was talking to another man and that somehow infuriated this psychopath. When she was walking down the street, he ran her over with his car and kept on driving for about a kilometer (0.62 mile).
The woman miraculously survived but she had to have both legs amputated. She's in the UTI (Our version of ICU) and is in critical condition.
UPDATE: The monster has been caught and shot (not fatally) by police. Given the cruelty of the case, he's probably gonna be executed in jail by other inmates when he's arrested. That is if things follow suit with Brazilian customs.
Welcome and thanks for posting on /r/whenwomenrefuse!
This is an intersectional feminist space centered towards women (ALL WOMEN). Men are tolerated, not welcome. Reports about women saying we don't know what men are dangerous will be promptly ignored. We look forward to your complaints about our policy of not centering men.

I’m rarely shocked anymore but holy shit that video was horrendous. That poor woman.
I’m so sorry for this woman. Dating is actually very dangerous. That horrible perpetrator has to face’s consequences. He should have been removed from society a long time ago. Violence like this surely has precedent. What a sad and pointless painful situation
This is why we choose the bear
I'm curious what you DMd to the mods to get your flair LMAO
This is actually so sad. She has to have her life permanently altered due to someone that could not move on with his life and healthily process emotions.
This video has enraged me so much that I can no longer sleep.
She survived! How does that happen? I hope they give her the option of retribution in this case. Just write it out if you like, your choice of who does it and how clean you want to watch it. Sound, no sound?
I have seen the uncensored aftermath and it’s amazing that she even survived. I’m so tired of men not being able to handle basic emotions without resorting to misogyny and violence.
I love Brazil. I loved living there. One thing that impressed me was how strong and independent the women are, despite some really chauvinistic men. It just infuriates me that this man felt so entitled to this woman that he thought nothing about attempting to kill her because he couldn’t have her. Why are men so far behind in emotional intelligence?
This makes me so angry! That poor woman
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It’s another example of a very public act of violence as well. There’s something especially disturbing about these violent male perpetrators acting publicly and openly (like the recent subway fire attack or others). The perpetrators are not behind closed doors and not shielding their identities. This horrific attack is beyond logic to anyone with any sense of decency but yet the criminals do have their own logic. I can’t help but wonder if they think they are right or they know there’s no heavy price to pay or they understand that the society sanctions these acts or if they just actually enjoy the sadism so much it’s an irresistible passion to a depraved human. It’s very noticeable that the male attackers are comfortable in the crowd generally and don’t expect to be stopped or feel any shame whatsoever. It says a lot about public spaces imho.
