Well, this is a difficult topic to talk about. Maybe the word is not difficult but it is ver sad, when I think about this or when I know that there is another news about a murder, mistreatment, abuse or rape against women I feel sadness, I feel fury and impotence. And you can see this behavior everyday, even when you are in the metro station, when you walk in the streets, when you are embarrassed of your clothes or of your body because you can't stand anymore that men thing they can shout things to you like it was their right. Because our society works like this, we are living in a present that reproduce male chauvinist, that has never let go this culture even when we are in a modern time, when we are living progress like humanity. But that's not truth. And the thing that makes this more sad (like it wasn't enough) is that some people believe that this campaign that is trying to raise awareness is not includying everyone, like it was against iguality. But is not like that, the truth is that you can not pretend to talk about people universally when it doesn't exist iguality in our society. Women and men has never living under the same conditions or opportunitties, and women has always ending damage, so I don't understand why some people can't see that is urgent end with violence against women...
On the other hand, I went to the march this wednesday, it was my birthday too and at my home my family want me to get early but I wanted to go and support this, because I'm tired and we all are tired of living like this, we need a change. The march was very important, there was so many people and I hope that people can take this seriously not just that day but everyday.
I'm so agree with this sentence: "you can not pretend to talk about people universally when it doesn't exist iguality in our society". That's why this is a gender issue, and not only a vilence issue.
ResponderEliminarI'm agree with you!!! we need change this system that uses us!!
ResponderEliminarI agree, some people feel left aside when they hear the word "feminism" or "niunamenos". They think it's all about women not including men and they feel it is none of their business. Well, they should think about this: that's how lots of women have felt for many years and centirues, not included. Maybe if we think about this we could all understand the main issue: equality.
ResponderEliminarBy the way, that was a great way to celebrate your birthday!!!
Cheers!
