What an ugly story.
"On International Woman’s Day, an American freelance journalist wearing a skirt was walking along a Mexico City street in broad daylight when a man ran up behind her, pulled down her underwear and ran off.
After three years of abuse from Mexican muggers — including a slashed chin, a broken nose and a scarred forehead — Andrea Noel wasn’t about to let this one go.
So after reporting the March 8 incident to police, she posted surveillance video of the attack on social media in the hopes that someone could help identify the culprit.
But what the 27-year-old got instead has left her “terrified” and in hiding.
Noel, from Los Angeles, said she’s been receiving a deluge of messages that not only blame her for the attack but also threaten to rape and kill her:
● “Don’t tempt me anymore, I dropped your skirt you filthy bitch, now I’m going to drop you six feet underground.”
● “I hope they rape you dyke.”
● “I wish they had raped you, you f***ing blonde bitch.”
● “F***ing bitch, women should be in their houses, looking after their children. If this guy did anything, it’s because you provoked it by wearing a short skirt. It’s your fault, and I hope the next time they rape you so you know your place. Bitch.”
● “Watch yourself, because we’re going to rape you for walking around with your ass out in beautiful Mexico, bitch.”

Noel said she’s planning to leave Mexico, a country she said is infected by a “disgusting machismo culture.”
“Mexico presents itself to the outside world as a progressive and forward-looking country, but scratch the surface and you see how ugly it really is,” she told the outlet. “A week before this incident a man followed me home while masturbating inside his trousers. When I got home the man shouted at me that I was a bitch, and strolled off.”
Noel said at the very least her efforts have brought awareness to “a serious cultural and systematic problem in Mexico.”
“I’ve had rape victims, women in abuse relationships, sex trafficking victims all get in touch with me pleading for me to help them,” she told the Daily Mail.
“It’s not something that’s going to change,” she added, “but at least people will know.”
