Sexismoa

In Bayonne, a sexist ad is denounced that equates sangrias with women

  • In the capital of Lapurdi, the Xingar fair is celebrated every year by law. The buildings in the centre of Bayonne are lined with posters that show the fair. This is how it was written in French: "In Bayonne, the gills (ugly girls) are also wonderful."

The sexist ad literally says: "À Bayonne même les boudins sont magnifiques". "Boudin" is a French word for bloody, but it is also a word used to refer to "ugly and/or fat woman". The denunciation comes within the framework of the sexist play of words: "In Bayonne, the gills (ugly women) are also wonderful."

The youth organization Aitzina denounces the announcement made on the occasion of the Xingarra Fair, which is being held until Sunday, and insists that it is made with the help of the City Council of Bayonne.

 

 

 

This is not the first time that the Xingar Fair’s advertisements have been the subject of controversy. In 2016, an announcement also provoked criticism: "Sans cochon, pas de civilisation", "without pigs there is no civilisation".

Do women also care at home about buying gifts?
Studies say that women are in charge of buying gifts. Immersed in the Durango Fair and close to Christmas, it seems a good topic to talk about the reality the surveys show, the excuses men put and the concept of "invisible mental load" women have.
