The reflection, which was carried out three months before the Luis Rubiales controversy broke out, has sown controversy on social networks and has served as an example to show the eccentric attitude that many men present to change and social evolution.

''The gray hairs appear at the same speed as the doubts of what to do to be a man of this time. And here I thought that age made you wiser! But no, I ask for help. Questions about specific cases. Scope: work. I give good news to a girl for whom I am responsible. She is overjoyed, she wants to thank me with a kiss or a hug. Do I accept it, like all my life?'', the communicator began by saying.

''Place: a young woman's train car with a suitcase bigger than her, she can barely fit it, you know where. Shall I give you a hand, like all my life? (...) An award ceremony. It's a man, she shakes hands. It's a woman, do you give her two kisses, like you always do? My education, my training, my way of being, my age... (...) That's what I get, I haven't changed yet. If there is something that has done it, it is already different in me and in many others. Just a few years ago I would not have even asked myself these questions.
