Those who don't want to see
The news of recent days has been the “lack” of statements offered by Alex Sardui and, by the way, the accumulation of reactions and contradictions that have emerged around some errors. Entering the realm of the beliefs and interests of each one is like falling into moving sands: it is not easy to get healthy. Everyone is right and no one is right in its substance or in its form.
From the point of view of the substance, it is clear that Sardui was wrong to say that there is no discrimination in music against women, because it exists, although only he can know whether or not he has seen it.
As far as the form is concerned, I think we have to bear in mind that these statements are in the context of an interview. Those with minimal empathy should understand spontaneously that these situations are unprepared responses. In the case of Sardui this seems; but better, listen to the original interview (audio in Basque from URL0), as I have at least noticed some differences between it and the written article published in Spanish. In any case, it cannot be deduced from his words that his intention was to commit an aggression against women.
And intention is fundamental.
Those who have decided to say something about this situation should also focus on the form and substance of their messages. Many have reacted with insults, condemning both the person himself and Sardui’s statements, or against the journalist who wrote the article. Among them, messages of different levels and reasoning can be found, but those that fall within the realm of humiliation and oppression lose all legitimacy, whatever the arguments they handle. And unlike the case of Sardui, these responses are thought out and prepared (or at least have had a chance).
I think we have to bear in mind that Sardui's statements are in the context of an interview. Anyone with minimal empathy should understand that these are responses that are given without preparing them.
Among these responses, the communiqué disseminated on social networks by women from the world of HD music should be highlighted. Despite the fact that in the background (in the music world there is discrimination) they are right, they make an interpretation of the words and the being of Sardui. A unitary interpretation, as if possible. I have been struck by the fact that more than 150 people agree with the assertions that “we have not heard our voice,” or “you have not seen anything, you have not heard anything, because you have not been interested in it,” when you know that some of them have collaborated with Sardui and perhaps they may also be. I would like to know if these people got in touch with him before signing the joint communiqué, they probably felt it in order to clarify their doubts of confidence and whether they did listen to Sardui's voice or did not interest them.
Along with this joint reaction, there have been few who have climbed the cart of the media lynching, and have proudly declared that they have enjoyed the reactions against Sardui and have said without shame that they are changing the face of shame and fear. I understand that these people can bring within them a rage based on some violence they have suffered, but it is not allowed to displace that rage to a head of Turkish that really is not worth it. These people should also know that the position that anonymity and collective organization place in front of the other is privileged and, therefore, they have a responsibility to exercise that power in a fair and proportionate way, because, reacting thus, they themselves are being aggressors.
I don't know Alex Sardui, I don't like Gatibu, but I don't like anyone's aggressive and violent attitudes, no word, no action, no omission. I believe that everyone has the right to be wrong and to be treated fairly and respectfully. I think we won nothing with visceral reactions that only lead us to get angry at each other in a vicious circle. If it makes no sense to try to suppress violence with more violence, less a belief (and a person) that cannot be presumed to be a bad intention.
Anyone who wants to be a feminist and progressive society is not interested in creating new sterile internal conflicts; I believe that with people who express predisposition, it is good to communicate the damage and indignation that has been felt as a result of their words and actions, but it is also necessary to try to resolve things in a friendly way.
Hoarseness won't get us closer. Nor is there any more blind thing in this than the one you don't want to see.
