"The project is called Casa AB. The house is a house in Basque. And as I've always been told, in Euskal Herria, women stay in the kitchen." These are statements by Philippe Tayebe, president of the rugby team Aviron Bayonnais, during the inauguration of the AB Campus training centre on 30 May. The journalist asked about the low presence of women and answered it.
Both the members of the sports team and the elected officials and agents involved in the construction of the space, the inauguration was a meeting between men. Again, only the men on the front line and in the photo. Tuesday was an open and public presentation of the vocational rugby training centre and there was no room for women.
When men were more masculinized, well-known politician Jean-Jacques Lasserre also released sexist statements. Kazeta.eus has collected the following: "[Rugby shoes] are very clean crampons. My wife should be taught how to clean their shoes."
Although one present journalist stressed the seriousness of these statements, they continued in the same way, without giving any forgiveness or feeling of inconvenience.
