Why should Joko and Klaas have said that they also sexually abused women?
Artists Joko and Klaas drew attention to sexual violence and harassment in a video. But once they did exactly that, they did not address this in their contribution. Why is that a mistake?
On Wednesday night, Joko and Klaas redeemed the 15 minutes of airtime they earned in their dueling show against Prosieben. Moderator Klaas Heufer-Umlauf announced on Twitter that these would be the 15 most special minutes they had broadcast.
German journalist Sophie Passmann greeted viewers on the live broadcast. It will be difficult, it will be bitter, but we have to go through that together now. Welcome to the exhibition ‹Worlds of men». First, actress and presenter Palina Rojinski shows off her “collection” of Dickpics, to which she is constantly being shipped. Passman takes 15 minutes to read stories of women who have been victims of sexual harassment, violence, and rape.
The action gets under your skin. The video is spreading like a forest fire on social media, and the hashtag # men’s world is on Twitter. Everyone agrees: the contribution is correct and important. In the comment column on YouTube, someone writes: “I love the fact that Joko and Klaas have decided not to appear in this video on this particular topic. It also shows how sensitive they are to this. “
But that’s exactly where the problem lies.
Because the two artists once did exactly what they let women report to them for 15 minutes: in 2012, Klaas commissioned the “neoParadise” show at the ZDF to briefly touch his friend Joko, a fair hostess on the “mops and rear. ” ». Whatever he did, in front of the camera. The woman was visibly uncomfortable, trying to smile and shrugging. Klaas, laughing, says to Joko: «God, but that was so uncomfortable that she just stood there and really felt very degraded. He goes home once in a while he will cry in the shower.
The protest continued promptly. The two moderators publicly apologized on Twitter. “We confuse funny nonsense with negligent and insulting nonsense.”
Given this story, the Pro-Sieben-Post on Wednesday night leaves a pale aftertaste. It is suddenly hard to believe that Joko and Klaas take sexist and sexualized violence against women seriously.
They should have made it clear that they were part of the problem. They could have conveyed what they learned after the show back then and why they are now at a different point. Because what is urgently needed to eliminate sexual harassment and assault on women are self-critical men who can reflect on their own actions. Men who intervene when their friends behave sexually, who have the courage to stand up and say that they no longer feel like laughing and are no longer complicit.
Joko and Klaas could have shown true greatness. Your action would have received the importance it deserves. Because the last thing women need in this discussion is the alleged opportunism of two men who want to present themselves as feminist benefactors.
