Francisco Aguilar is a professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Lisbon and thinks that feminism is comparable to Nazism. It teaches students – and students, of course – that women, “dishonest people”, constitute themselves as a “victim tribe” and transform the “straight Christian white man” into a “scapegoat.” In the program of the chairs he teaches at the University, he included that “promotion called ‘gender’ or ‘domestic violence’ should be considered” not as a law but as “twisted against the family.”
The Law School, according to the newspapers, lived in peace with the existence of a program and a master’s degree whose frequency represents, in the words of the president of the Portuguese Association of Women Lawyers, “an act of humiliation for any student who is an offender their dignity ”. Jorge Duarte Pinheiro, former director of the Faculty, confesses that “a feeling of impunity reigns” in the institution, which stifles these cases when they are reported. More serious: according to the former director, this “is not an isolated product” in the Faculty, although – as the letter from the Portuguese Association of Women Lawyers points out – the content of the program in question violates “the Constitution of the Republic and International Law by discriminating directly and intensely the Human Rights of Women ”. Apparently, until the controversy broke out, the Faculty bodies were not alleged that such deception, when taught there, violently damages the prestige and scientific credibility of the teaching that takes place in the institution. However, the controversy was already on the pages of the newspapers, an investigation was announced.
Francisco Aguilar, who hates feminism, is also involved in a domestic violence case. According to the Public Ministry, which issued the indictment, the person with whom he had a relationship between 2015 and 2016, and with whom he would have a child, was treated by the professor of criminal law in these terms: “nymphomaniac”, “bitch” , “promiscuous.” “At least three times,” reports the Public Ministry, Francisco Aguilar expelled her from the house, in the early hours of the morning, “for inexplicable reasons”: either “because she was wearing tight dresses, or because she was put on mascara. ”The indictment refers to“ discussions in which he opened the car door and ordered her to go out next to a place where there was prostitution to join “the companions.”
If, in the field of discourse, the grotesque murders carried out in a program of a discipline could be blatantly justified by the author as an exercise of his “scientific freedom”, what happened to the practices of which he is accused?
The account of the trial, which is now over, is a hymn to machismo and a certain patriarchal country, miserably inclined to the “medical gentlemen” and willing to blame the victims. During court sessions, explains a newspaper, the judge used to ask if the “professor” wanted to say something, reassuring him with the guarantee that she, the judge, was not a “feminist” and considering that it was surprising that the woman who accused the professor did not want to comment. In the end, despite the Order of the Public Ministry on the aggressions and insults, the judge did not consider that “there had been an abuse of power in the conduct of Francisco Aguilar in relation to the plaintiff”, invoking, in defense of the acquittal of the “Mr. doctor ”, telephone messages in which, according to the judge, known for other sentences like that, it was made clear that“ the assistant was not afraid ”. Isn’t she, deep down, like the women judged by Neto de Moura, “even asking about them”?
Furthermore, the professor of criminal law seems to have wanted to make the trial a platform similar to the one on which he intended to transform his criminal law classes. “Death to all political commissioners of the Superior Council of the Judiciary!” He said at the trial. “Death to the choice of feminist professors for the CEJ admission interviews,” “Death to all feminists,” she snapped.
In the end, he was acquitted.
