But there is no doubt that, at least among those who have read the literature a little, Alice Zeniter states that: “There is a huge problem of sexual inequality in the stories.” That is to say, and roughly speaking, male character, nor what to say has many protagonists, but there is much more literature in the stories than women. Since the beginnings of literature, it is understood, because Aristotle said in Poetics that, using the thick brush, is the story of a prominent man who makes a good story, things, preferably violent things. Ceniter: “A good story still today is often the story of a guy who does little things.”
Thus says in his book Je suis une fille sans histoire, and consequently, with the privilege of a type of history, other stories have been rejected throughout history, silenced. The first steps of the human species, for example, because you imagine that in prehistory, in the time of caves, they were all hunters. Ursula Le Guin asks how our hunter-gatherer civilization has become the time of reports that speak only of hunters, if meat only took a small part of the food (it is estimated that it was 65-80% of human food, not hunting, but gathering food). Zeniter: “By listening to the hunters’ stories, we have forgotten the collectors and elaborated a form of equations of living meat that is not at all the fruit of the nutritive value of food but of the seductive forms of the stories”.
“I can’t do more of the reports of hunters, of prominent men doing things.” I share. Not only hunters, but also gatherers, even hunter-gatherers, who neither were, or could not, silenced in some way. Everyone has room in the stories.

With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]

Sometimes you make a blessing, and say where you had to say it, for sure, and when you're done, you want to cry loudly. When everything was over, with the affection of the luggage, he gave you a long hug as if he were holding you.
You might once lie down with a colleague you... [+]
Five decades later, we seem to be leaving behind the Washington Consensus. The climate crisis and, above all, the rise of China have reinvented the interest in leadership and the active participation that the country should have in the economy. The former austerity managers,... [+]
Following the complaint against Iñigo Errejón for machista violence, it seems that some have realised that in parties, unions and leftist institutions, women are not free to receive violence from affiliated men. In addition, it has become clear that in these situations some... [+]
