Let me try
to write a few words in English about #metoo, Women, or Feminism; just few
thoughts I share, without any intention further than that, just sharing what I
think. Which is not an official theory, nor a forever and ever precept, and for
sure not any imposition.
And a
little bit about this is where I want to start.
I am not
feminist if that means that as a Woman I have to think, act or behave in a
certain way that has been now established.
We, have,
to,? Because we, have, to, be, … # ?
It is quite
unbelievable that a group of French artists have shared their explained and
respectful opinion regarding the #metoo movement; and they have been widely criticized
or attacked by feminist movements themselves.
Think about
it.
Is this the
feminisim that fights for women freedom and empowerment? Are we serious?
What type
of freedom is that?
We, have, to,?
Feminism
asks for freedom from men but it doesn’t even respect it within women?
Again, do
you really think about it?
I am a
woman, I’m not a hashtag, and I don’t want other women to fight for a hashtag,
under a hashtag, blinded by a hashtag. The hashtag is a tool, a channel,
marketing. More or less useful; but for sure it is not a set of rules, or code
of “the super new women we have to become”.
If a group
of women are brave (or any other accurate adjective) enough to speak a
different opinion than the trending topic, they should be first of all
respected, then listened properly, understood and then maybe talk, discuss, or answer
wisely about their own opinion within women!
#enrich our f# shared wisdom?
I repeat,
what kind of feminism is that if it is imposing?
Sorry, I don’t buy it.
Let me be
very clear, I don’t expect everyone to understand, or agree with what I write,
just with few of you reading this is enough!
Abuses
(sexual, verbal, floral, from men, from other women…) are as present and as different as
the number of women affected, or living here.
Each story is different from the
other, different context, different circumstances, different people involved, different time passed by, and a different long etcetera.
It also
happens in different industries than cinema or fashion; from medicine to
technology, to any home of the World. And each case, each woman, each “hashtag”
should be treated with the specific matiz, hint, of each different story.
I’m kind of
scared with the tendency of movements so “trending topics”, they become
dangerously superficial or shouted so loudly, that they blind what hides
underneath.
Not only staying
at the surface, but tuning to a progressive depth.
And there,
in this ability of understanding each context, each situation or those matices, can lead the paths to the
future we wish to be built.
I don’t
think I’m saying such weird or rude things, am I?
I don’t
think we want women following a code of behaviors someone has decided for us,
and lying (or not ¿?) to us that it is for our best.
We can’t respect the transition of
changes?
We have to quickly grab the latest code of behaviors to follow?
Aren’t
we becoming more intelligent than that?
We are
making loud shouts against men abuses, but inside “women community” not every
opinion is permitted? Or permitted without being “hashtagged”?
Again, “allow
me” to say: what the fuck?
I don’t
want to write or create a “perfect description” of the woman picture I want for
the future, cause obviously I would be doing the same thing I’m complaining
about.
I shout what I don’t want.
And I don’t
want to future invest in victims, but in survivors.
Do you think victimhood helps? I want to hear you.
I don’t want “model followers”, but
variety of variety.
I don’t want, for example, to follow some woman accusing
sexual abuses from men; but wait what? After having benefit/played from/with the power/money
of those men? Then let me be sceptic, of course.
I’m pretty
sure sexual (or other abuses) all over this World are way more serious and way
less fancy than Hollywood situations.
Tag me as you wanc.
I’m not saying those Hollywood cases are not “wrong”, important,
or needed to be spoken, but I want to...I want to...¿open the variety of thinking? ¿Reasoning? ¿Simply being? ¿Open the umbrella that “trends” strategically pushes us under? ¿Develop our potential? oh.
We don’t
help each other telling each other what we have to do.
Obvious?
Evident?
We help
each other understanding a little bit better each other, with our little
package under our name, face or soul.
We don’t
help each other competing, judging, manipulating, showing off or easily
tagging.
But maybe, just maybe, appreciating our wide uniqueness.
¿Are we playing the intelligent for some things but not for others?
And those
are the words I wanc say for now.
