“Per ogni sorella stuprata e offesa, siamo tutte parte lesa” 



One of the things I hate about womanhood
 is the trying extra hard 
for my ideas to be regarded as smart and not just the result of fruitful intuition, or sensitivity, or a sixth sense.


“a great invention” - it must be a man’s


I hate the way some guys ask you if “you know how to do it” while your male colleague is trying to unscrew a screw with a hammer

Yet nobody
tells him
anything


“he must now what he’s doing, he is a man". 
Only women have to prove it twice.

“I don't want you to get hurt”
"It just looks so heavy"



Some times I feel guilty for no reason. 
I blame myself for things that was I taught to shame. 

Things about being a woman. 

      As if Eve really carried any guilt. 

        One of the things I hate the most about womanhood is the hatred.
The being utterly annoyed when men are shallow

and politically lazy


Talking
Laughing
Judging

What do they know about fear?



I fucking hate stereotypes

(not that women don’t do stereotypes) - of course we do


Errar humano est and sex has nothing to do with being and asshole


But there’s just something about the way in which men do certain things 
that makes me frightened

Or anxous

Or angered

Or in the danger


Sometimes all of the above



It’s curious how all of my sisters can relate, 
while most of my brothers just get it but

it's all "too political
too emotional


It’s just too much"




We answer:

“How can my body not be political?

How can our feelings not be considered?
How can I be any less?

Are we not allowed to demand that our history is taken into account?



I cannot deny my womanwood

. I wouldn’t anyway

. Because I live in a body 
that deals with a lot of shit
 everyday 


and so did my mother

Her sister,
My grandmother,
My girlfriends

All the women that came that came before us

And all the women with whom we share the earth.



One of the things that I’ve learned to love 
about womanhood is acknowledging the collective wound
 that we all carry


and the thing that annoys me the most
 is the guys that say they get, that we are right

But still do nothing about it.
