Black lands of the patriarchy, article by Emma Riverola

Where do you look? You, the one with the backpack. And you, the one with the helmets. Or you, the skater. You are not even 18 years old and your gaze has been lost in a past that we despised. And with what spirit we trample it. We dreamed that you no longer. That you would grow up otherwise. That the advanced steps had no return. We really believed it. wham! Broken the moorings of that bridge made of pain and struggle. Farewell to the black lands of yesterday. To the closed doors, to the women in the windows and the streets for them.

The latest report of gender violence of the National Institute of Statistics points out that teenagers they are the age group in which the number of denounced persons and victims has increased the most. A fact that is added to others that warn of the regression. Machismo wants to get entangled in the steps of adolescents, captivate their gaze. The bridge is still standing, and is now traversed in two directions. How have we failed to transmit the spirit to move forward? Congratulations to those ridicule feminist claims, to those who spread their hate speech, to those who question the rights acquired and fought for, to those who stigmatize the victims of patriarchy. Whatever they are. The black lands return.
