If the two of you were invited to join a discussion about a few movies that will be shown earlier tomorrow, for example: “Letter from a stranger” (1948), Max Ophüls, based on a novel by Stefan Zweig; “Silent man” (1952), John Ford; “Rear window” (1954), Alfred Hitchcock; “The Prosecutor’s Witness” (1957) and “White skirts and being crazy” (1959), by Billy Wilder, true masterpieces of cinema should take the wise precaution of asking the colloquium’s rules beforehand or otherwise abiding by the consequences. Why? Why? First, because, depending on their age, it is very likely that the majority of the public have never seen any of these films before and do not even know their directors; and second, because if they apply the canon of political correctness, gender theology, and sexist analepsis in colloquium (flash back) will not come out as they entered. Come to the show room and watch.

Inside “Letter from a Stranger” protagonist femininely He’s in love with a frivolous musician, skull and liar (Louis Jourdan) who owns Joan Fontaine no matter what he does. patient love. In addition, out of jealousy of honor, she enters into a duel to the death with her husband, who is also a soldier. Inside “Silent man”, John Wayne drags his wife (Maureen O’Hara) by the arm across the field, deciding (he is not strong) to give her the marriage dowry that his brother didn’t give him. Also, Wayne gets out of bed and says, “Woman, where’s my tea?” he asks. Inside “rear window”Grace Kelly asked James Stewart, “What does a woman have to do to get her attention?” he asks. Stewart said, “If she’s beautiful, she doesn’t need to do anything. It just has to “have”. Inside “Witness for trial”Charles Laughton tells his nurse: “If you were a woman, Miss Plimsoll, I would hit you!”; and Marlene Dietrich, when she visits Laughton’s attorney’s office and is warned about the bad news, she replies, “I never faint because I’m not sure I’m going to fall gracefully.” Finally, “White skirts and being crazy”Tony Curtis asks Marilyn Monroe: – “What’s the name of the medicine you gave me? – “American kisses.” – “Okay, give me another teaspoon”; and when transgender Jack Lemmon angrily tells Joe E. Brown that he’s a man, Brown “Well, nobody is perfect,” he replies.

can you imagine the world wake up, national feminismthe orthodoxy of the regime and talibanism Have you been empowered from a gender perspective by participating in the colloquium of these films or other masterpieces with similar words and scenes? Can you imagine more than one minister or ministers without a portfolio who saw them come out of a movie theater where they were mirroring these curses? Can you imagine a movie where the Attorney General with a judge tells a police commissioner about another judge who would later become Home Secretary and is a faggot? can you imagine Torquemadas 30/40 talking to us and us privately? – “What did you give our daughters and sons for dinner, honey” – “Were you with them this afternoon? Wasn’t Elle absent? my darling” – “How many workers were in the supermarket, sweetie” – “Didn’t you think of seeing the misogynist Rubens in El Prado? He was a sorority-hating painter! – “By the way, mon petit coeurI burned in the fireplace in the guest house, on the other side of the chalet, like Vázquez Montalbán, your books about Plato, Aristotle, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, I can’t stand so much machismo wrapped in philosophical excuses. But Marx’s [que se beneficiaba a su sirvienta]Neruda [un maltratador de mujeres, que abandonó a su hija, nacida con hidrocefalia, y que confesó una violación] and the napkin with Picasso [pregunten a su primera esposa, Olga Khokhlova, por el machismo del pintor] I signed the restaurant bill to your grandfather, the waiter, and I forgave them.” can you imagine It’s hard for me, despite my efforts to swallow those images, appealing to Irene Montero’s benevolent understanding. Although its last representative, Pepín Bello, is harder to listen to, 27th generationTo say that Buñuel was an almost pathological chauvinist. Shall we burn Buñuel’s films? Why don’t we, in the name of gender memory law, remove the streets and avenues dedicated to Ms. Pablo Neruda, Spain’s Minister of Gender? What are we doing with Marx and Picasso? Or with homophobic Che Guevara and Fidel Castro?

All this comes from the story the Tales Government tells us about the philosophical education of Spanish students, a philosophy with a gender perspective without math. Some of the expressions of the draft texts they aimed to impose were as follows: “Female discrimination in the history of philosophy”; or “the misogyny of philosophers,” so that the student can denounce when philosophers think badly. Philosophical “machismo” goes back 25 centuries and fully reaches the deviations of Heraclitus, Anaximander, Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine or Machiavelli, which the philosopher Savater dismissed as absurd anachronisms. But this is what is hidden in the myth of the patriarchal cave (Plato), misogynistic thinking and macho attitudes. Woody Allen was crucified before any court convicted him; Placido Domingo, Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp… There is also talk of Cervantes and Shakespeare’s machismo; the misogynistic and unrepresentable nude in the painting; It’s about the withdrawal of children’s stories for violating the gender mystery. Perhaps because of the macho-spirited philosophers of the 5th century BC, a gender politician from the PSOE calls his opponent a “stupid dick,” but with no sexual connotation; or some state attorneys call a judge a faggot but it’s out of context; or a politician with a gender ponytail would whip a journalist until he bled, but as a joke. A few days ago, writer Milena Busquets said: “My son is taking lessons during his period… I don’t know if such in-depth knowledge is necessary.” Indeed, to know the rules of the Platonic cave, although there are not many rules, a deeper knowledge of philosophy is needed. One day we’ll look back and say, but did this really happen? For more.
