Children shouting from the balconies, how lazy are you. You add nothing from the protection of your rich chambers covered with heraldic shields filled with weapons and castles. Absolutely nothing. You repeat the same stereotypical slogans that your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents have been shouting for centuries in their pathetic efforts to never lose their privileges. Privileges over other men, women, animals and the planet. Privileges over everything and everyone. Pernada rights, on land, on water. Rights taken from others to live better, make more money, write laws and send them to the firing squad.
Children shouting from the balconies of a stinky boarding school, your voice does nothing. If you read more, watch the news more, consult a newspaper from time to time, you will realize that everything has changed. That everything has been in transformation for decades. For example, you know that your partner women who you forced out of their nest shouting “whores” have been out for a long time. But a long time ago.
At first we parted slowly, that’s true. The huge slab your parents and grandparents placed on our backs carried a heavy weight, making us invisible, humiliating and belittling our essential role in society. He weighed a whole history. We didn’t care about driving, getting divorced, joining the person we truly loved, not who we were playing with. We watched what had to be done and had children without even asking ourselves if this is what we wanted. We worked hard at home, but we worked hard, even though we didn’t touch the power outside either. All the decision-making places were led by your parents and grandparents, who put our mothers and grandmothers in just a community role, without votes and voices.
But the children shouting from the balconies, we gradually managed our sexuality, our freedom, our rights and took the place where we were thrown out again and again by going out, you know who, the floods. pedigree of trees with heraldry and castles. Fortunately, along the way – and they still accompany us on the road – we have found decent, respectful, generous men who are not afraid to share space and privileges, who can leave behind what should be done, do and say. do the opposite and apply common sense, which is as simple as applying justice in an area of inequality. That’s why every time you shout – that’s yes – from your cowardly nest, you are insulting not only women, but also millions of men who have nothing to do with you, but have absolutely nothing to do, and should do their best. The shame of sharing your gender with people like you.
Children shouting from the balconies of a luxury building, women are revolutionizing while you do it. They do this in Iran, where they are at the forefront of a society that cries out for its transformation, and with their own lives they are challenging the yoke and strings that your peers want to impose on them in their daily lives. And they do so in Afghanistan, where they take to the streets to shout that despite the constant torture and lynching they are subjected to, they exist and want a better life for themselves and their daughters than the Taliban like you. different clothes but same fur – they have reserved for them. While you are screaming, spoiled children, in packages or alone, laws that limit your sexual abuse are constantly being passed just because yes is yes, and units are formed in ministries, assemblies, general directorates, schools, hospitals. In the security forces specializing in promoting and honoring the unstoppable role of women in an increasingly violet society.
There is no home for us anymore, because we are everywhere. Where you are, we are there too. If you turn your back, you’ll see us. If you yell at us, we yell at you. If you push us, we push. Because we are no longer afraid. Shout whatever you want from your balcony, spoiled boy, because be disappointed, the street and the future are ours and we’d die for it.
