Overview

  • In his July 20 Instagram video, the 37-year-old Chivas striker asserted that women are ‘failing’ society by eradicating masculinity and urged them to embrace nurturing and homemaking roles
  • He also chastised men for ‘failing in commitment,’ calling on them to prioritize their partners and cultivate habits that make them admirable
  • Hernández presented his comments as a call for personal and collective growth rather than an attack on women, but social media reaction has been overwhelmingly critical
  • Prominent commentators such as David Faitelson and Joanna Vega-Biestro publicly condemned his stance as regressive and misogynistic
  • Chivas de Guadalajara has issued no response to the controversy and Hernández has not offered further clarification beyond his Instagram post
