Do you know what "ponce" means? It means an effeminate man.

So a woman who might be wanting to start a family has the audacity to bring insect repellent with her to Brazil, and she deserves to be harassed by thousands of soccer fans (and mocked by a HN user)?

I would say that "bring insect repellent...to Brazil" is a very friendly way of characterizing the photos in my link.
