It seems to me that we share many common ideas, and that’s good. That's a good starting for our implication as a fighting society. Not by HeForShe as Emma Watson suggests, but looking closer, maybe in our hometowns, for sure in Galiza, there are feminist initiatives working. Having a progressive opinion about abortion is nice, but going to the purple demonstrations is much better. I loved when Watson said that we shall perceive gender on a spectrum and not as two opposing sets of ideals. But it is a hard work, so agreeing with it is not enough. We have to stop gossiping when somebody dresses queerly. We have to stop criticizing when a woman has many relationships. We have to stop thinking if one person loves boys he/she can’t love girls at all. We have to stop accepting as normal that women tidy up the kitchen. I’d love us to try to break our mental stillness. It is a hard work, of course; it’s a work until the end of our days. But trying it is how we continue fighting. Every morning. Sat, 05 Mar 2016 11:19:13 -0500
