The caricature of the discrepancies and divisions between parties or leftist institutions is made through the film The Life of Brian: The members of the Popular Front of Judea explain that they hate the members of the Popular Front of Judea more than the Romans. “Dissidents!”

As a young feminist, I have often heard nostalgic comments about the feminism of the 1980s: "What a time! Hundreds of women participated in women’s assemblies and organized mass demonstrations!” In the 1990s, with the partial decriminalization of abortion, the acceptance of divorce and the birth of institutions for equality, there was a certain demobilization. Those born in the 1980s grew in the “mirage of equality”, without seeing clear reasons for the struggle, while the patriarchy was transformed and renewed.

In 2007 I entered the feminist movement of the Basque Country: there were many groups and, due to the ideological discrepancies, the collaboration seemed insufficient and unpleasant. For some, the division of the movement was worrying. On the other hand, the Medeak or the young people of the similar movement claimed new structural models: networks formed by small “nodes” created between friends or by a single person and connected via the internet. When Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón promised to attack the abortion law, we understood that it was not the time to continue the internal debates, that the priority was to confront the attacks of the conservatives.

We got together on the platform for abortion rights, many feminists: young and old, Abertzales and immigrants, lesbians and queeras, and we did a good job together. In this process, we reinforce our knowledge and complicity. After Gallardón’s resignation, the goal must be to maintain network collaboration in favor of concrete goals to achieve new feminist victories. To do so, we do not need to agree on all the issues. That has been the skill of Pikara magazine, that is, to be clear that the ideological differences between us are not an obstacle to carrying out a joint project. So we've attracted a lot of readers.

I recently attended a statewide women's congress and observed a lot of distrust and disrespectful attitudes among adults and young people. Adults celebrated our freshness with paternalistic comments, but did not express the intention to listen and internalize our contributions, that is, to learn from our discourses. I have to admit that many times we young people say to them violently that their speeches are outdated. We use them as “classics,” “sacred cows,” or “dinosaurs.”

In Congress, I was photographed by Elisa McCausland and Susanna Martin from the Comic Book Authors' Association (AAC) and disseminated via Twitter. We received the following tweet: “You have to leave room for the new generations, who are very intelligent.” I really liked Susanna Martin's answer. “We better share the space to open it.” If we talk about relief, it doesn't surprise me that adults are enthusiastically defending their place, or seeing us as a threat. Feminism defends diversity, but then we find it difficult to understand that in our organization this diversity is enriching and to take advantage of it to learn. In these cases, it's always a good idea to check the scene of Brian's life.
