Microhomophobia
The little gestures, comments or prejudices that we have very internalized are called micromachismos. We have them very internalized, and we don't consider them machismo. That is what he is often talking about today. Those of us who call ourselves anti-male also say/we do these things without realizing it. A micromachismo is, for example, for the husband to tell the woman to “help” her at home, as she consciously or unconsciously recognizes that the domestic tasks are for the woman. It would also be a male chauvinist to systematically ask women when they are going to be mothers and not men when they are going to be fathers.
By microhomophobia, you barely hear anything. And there are. It is a microhomophobia, for example, asking the girl if she has a boyfriend or if she has a girlfriend, without taking into account that the girl can have a girlfriend or boyfriend. This is something that is constantly happening. All those of the homosexual will, to put it in some way, have suffered that suffering at some time in life, to a greater or lesser extent. Microhomophobia is also called marriage to frivolity. Microhomophobia is that someone presumably heterosexual tells his friend what marica/maricón is whenever he says or does something that is not hard enough, cold, energetic or violent. Or that the father comes to his daughter’s girlfriend saying that “this is a friend of her.”
Evil is so widespread, that most of the time it goes so unnoticed that the press is not freed from sin. At the homophobia observatory, we occasionally receive complaints about this. For this reason, we have recently been in contact with those in charge of a newspaper to denounce that a regular columnist uses in his writings expressions or concepts that can be considered as microhomophobia, and what is even more serious, those that can be qualified with a clear homophobia without a micro prefix. At the very least, we asked them to publish the letter of denunciation or the article of opinion, reflecting on all this. Well, there has been no way. We have come across an insurmountable wall: in the name of diversity and freedom of expression, they say that they have the pages open to all mentalities. They do not find it indifferent that one such mentality could hurt many readers, even if it is contrary to the rules of coexistence that society itself has chosen. This brings us to another debate: Is the right to the expression of freedom above our right to dignity and respect for people? Is it censorship to act against hate speech?

Araia told me to write to you. He told me that before I leave them (I will do this this year), they want to take you a text of mine, which I have never taken you, and that you deserve, that you will be proud of me. Such an opportunity cannot be missed. I don't know what I can... [+]

Entrepreneurship is fashionable. The concept has gained strength and has spread far beyond economic vocabulary. Just do it: do it no more. But let us not forget: the slogan comes from the propaganda world. Is the disguise of the word being active buyers? Today's entrepreneurs are... [+]
We're in chaos. That has been said to us by the French media, which Parliament has brought down the government on 4 December. The fear that political, institutional, social, economic chaos will rage us all in the horde of hell comes to our veins. What comedy we're going to play... [+]

What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
