A good speech from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

People really have the most bizarre ideas, few more so than this 'movement':

A surprisingly crass and sexist cartoon in the French newspaper l'Humanite, pertaining to show ex-rider turned TV presenter/commentator Marion Rousse and Julian Alaphilippe;

From what I can gather, it has, rightly, had repercussions and Antoine Vayer, @festinaboy on Twitter, has deleted that account for his role in this.

Bizarre. It seems to be prompted by her being a journalist covering the Tour and Alaphilippe riding it.
I can see the point of caricaturing that, but as commentators on that Tw*tter thread note, it's not even funny.

It appears those two are an item, but it still doesn't explain how the cartoon is anything other than sexist

The 'Proud Boys':
Despite LaRosa’s vocal support for the Proud Boys and their far-right ideology, the group has not been as eager to embrace the fighter. While some enjoyed being affiliated with an MMA fighter, others singled her out for being a woman and targeted her with misogynistic comments online. This became particularly noticeable after LaRosa reportedly founded a Proud Girls offshoot of the male-only group.
Except it appears the Proud Boys do not want women alongside them. “Women … we love you but you cannot be in Proud Boys,” the Proud Boys wrote on several of their encrypted social media channels. “Proud Boy’s Girls or Proud Girls are both ridiculous ideas. Fuck that. Don’t ride our coattails. Want to support us? Get married, have babies, and take care of your family.”

I mean, she sounds like a nasty piece of work ...
Shortly after Veteran’s Day in 2019, LaRosa made headlines when she pinned an anti-Trump demonstrator to the ground. The incident occurred during a right-wing protest on a Portland overpass, where an unidentified woman was being attacked by several right-wing protesters. LaRosa, who has since claimed she did not witness the start of the fight, subdued the unidentified woman and held her down until the police arrived on scene. When the pinned woman gasped “I can’t breathe,” LaRosa replied by saying: “I don’t care.” No arrests were reported in response to the incident.
... but the sexism still stood out more for me.

The kind of person that thinks taking those kind of photos is acceptable is probably not going to be nice to be called out on it.
You did the right thing by telling the woman, but not sure what else you could have done without endangering yourself or your child.
