We love Almeida when he becomes the transcript of Austin Powers. The one who hits balls in the face and the one who jumps on trampolines in San Blas to land in a sea of foam and comes out waving with that “calm down, I'm fine” tone. The one who, rebounding and with a stroke of the pen, leaves masculinity on the ground, no longer alpha, but Powers's beta.
Almeida does it unintentionally, but breaking stereotypes is the responsibility of everyone. No gender distinction. Women lead a feminist movement that has to do justice to all the discrimination they have suffered for centuries. "With the birth of women, machismo arose," says the satirical El Mundo Today in a video. “For most of history, 'Anonymous' was a woman,” Virginia Woolf put it much more gravely.
What role do men have to play? At the very least, not reflecting on the testicular accommodation of the Huevos de oro poster and not staying anchored in the Jesús Gil of the jacuzzi or in the joke? to expand the kitchen to give more freedom to women. They are past, but they endure today.
A reflection of this occurred on Tuesday following the announcement by the Conselleria d'Igualtat i Feminismes to provide free menstrual products to women and "all non-binary people and menstruating trans men". The news was accompanied on Twitter by comments like these: "Charocracy" (pejorative term to designate middle-aged feminist women); "Wallapop will burn"; "And the diapers?" If there are still those who wonder if it is worth claiming, read these and many other niceties.
Next door, feminisms out of the ordinary. Or difficult to understand. Pacma published yesterday a poster with the slogan "For a feminism without distinction of species" with the faces of a girl and a cow. Photojournalist Emilio Morenatti denounced that on Tuesday he was attacked with kicks and punches "by a group of more than 10 enraged women" for trying to photograph them. Anecdotes, but they do a disservice to feminism.
It is impossible, but full equality would have to gobble up spring and autumn and arrive overnight, go directly from winter to summer, from the jacket and wool cap of March 7 to the short sleeve and hat of the day 9. The feminist movement should not stop until the macho has no other place to hold on than his golden eggs, not to show off, but to avoid falling to the ground. Until fees are unnecessary. Until women stop being treated like color notes.
