WOMAN

I am not a man, nor try to be one. I am female and feel very comfortable in my own skin.

Nowadays’ reality is that feminism has invaded all spaces, so much so that spaces, clearly misogynous see themselves compelled to use the color purple on the 8th of March.

That is good news because things seem to start to get moving.
But we also run a risk we must not ignore.

Patriarchy has taken over feminism. It has created a mainstream speech, empty of content and we have bought into it.

We don’t want to be like men, nor occupy the spaces of men, nor externalize the achievements like the ‘very successful men’.

We don’t want equality inside a system that has not been created by ourselves.
We want a structure that supports our wishes and needs.
A place where physiological and emotional processes are being prioritized.
A place where you have every right to be gestating, giving birth, nurturing… giving it the value and respect it deserves.

No woman should be put in the position of having to choose between a successful career or motherhood.

We need a new structure that protects infancy, that prioritizes an education based on the respect of both genders with all their respective strengths and weaknesses, and the family wellbeing.

We don’t want to be like men, in a society clearly designed by and for men.

We want to smash this up and create a new system.

A place where misogyny or hatred of men will be not tolerated.

A place where instead of dividing, we will be able to come together both genders and work as a team for a future without any sort of discrimination.

Let’s celebrate, enhance and respect one another every day of the year.
