Being a woman for many of us in the world is still an unhappy condition.
There are many situations and stories where to be born female is almost a curse.
We annually celebrate the woman and hang flakes against episodes of violence against women that is now a scourge.
Yet I wonder how we are really ready to face discrimination and prejudices in us?
Not to mention then to be accepted as normal and instead are actually terrifying and discriminating.
A couple of weeks ago, write a friend of mine on her facebook profile :
"Coming out in the country for a walk , I felt invested by a series of comments on my body and my physical life by group of men on the car or on the bycicle, i felt embarassed for this series of vulgar comments on my person, i just weared leggins and large sweater, i felt scared. I am at home now and still I feel myself on this bad sensation, there is no doubt that the degree of culture and progress of a country it is not enogh when a man feel free to commet a girl's body when she walk"
If you are girls, it will have happened to you too.
To me the last time happened two days ago, I felt that the temperatures were very warm, I had a black skirt combined with a pair of black sandals.
I leave the house with my bag directed to the bar where I have to make deliveries to a customer, not even the time to take a walk that comes the first sound of the horn and my middle finger raised in response.
But really in 2018 still you play and whistles for a pair of legs discovered?
Well yes, continuing my journey to the bar I caught very little furtive glances and a couple of comments a little vulgar on my backside by a group of passing men.
How did you make me feel?
Embarrassed initially, as if I had gone out naked with a sign on my head or worse still a beautiful scarlet letter.
Shortly after the embarrassment has taken the place of anger, because I have to be ashamed to put a skirt in a day warmest as a day of July?
Boys wear summer clothes why i can not wear my skirt?
Because there are still men who believe it is funny or flattering to verbally harass and offende verbally a girl, and yes I use the word " Harass" not for fun , because you can not walk without someone whistling, staring at you insistently or you shout brash words and not considerate it a heavy offence .
Then when people wonder why there is still need of feminism that's why, because we are still not free to leave the house without getting spurious comments, because there are still those who do not respect us, because for many it is not clear the border to be respected in the freedom of others.
Shouting a woman's street obscenity and fixing it so much that it makes her uncomfortable or do it with whistles, noises and trumpets is a border that should not be exceeded in a civilized country.
