Dear students,
Today we will have a free topic. As we are
not together to decide on what it will be, it will be truly free.
As a woman, it is difficult not to
empathise with the sit-in in FACSO, LAW and INAP. Coming from an older
generation, it cannot but make me happy the fact that in 2018 young women can
say how they feel about being belittled and sexually harassed in an institution
which defines itself as tolerant in many ways, but also in many contexts
beyond studies or work. Today, I was
listening to a radio presenter saying that the reasons for these strikes (Law faculty in particular) were
absurd considering all the bigger problems that women face every day. I am
aware that, as women, we face issues from our childhood, firstly when we are
not offered the same opportunities as male boys and are dressed in colours that have
nothing to do with who we are or how we feel. However, I agree that abuse of power and sexual harassment need to stop, no matter the gender.
I thank a number of women and male and a number of writers who opened my eyes a while back.
There is a lot of room for discussion here but very few words.
To conclude, I would like to say that the chauvinism that upsets me the most is that of women. Examples are those of women belittling other women, or those who sing “reggaeton lyrics” demeaning to women in general. There are many examples of actions like these and the worst thing is that due to cultural factors, you may know better than myself, they don’t even realize they are doing it.

ReplyDeleteohh I really congratulate her teacher for wanting to support and understand the difficult situation that some women have, it's time to fight for something just and dignified such as being able to be calm in a place without being harassed by men.
The blog was very interesting, it's a really contingent topic and it's great that you treat it! It's very important that women can feel safe wherever we are.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very interesting post! really, sexism is something present in our whole life and the violence that women suffer in every scale is something that I consider undeniable. Despite being a man and privileged in this, I try not to be part of the problem

ReplyDeleteI think your blog is very interesting, the issue of the differences that exist for being a man or a woman are very big
I am very happy that you have written about a topic like this, it is a interesting post. Right now we are fighting to not normalize this type of practice and abuse.
