Imagine that you're in the basement of the Donostia library along with some bertsolaris that you feel accomplices by presenting an infographic that visually explains the evolution of Bertsolaris from a gender perspective in the last four decades. Let us suppose that it has been five days since the beginning of Euskaraldia and that the presentation has been made entirely in Euskera, both you and all the members of your table, starting and ending, as they would on the eve of the initiative or the next day.

Suppose that at the end of the speech you have intentionally underlined that the process you want to count through the image cannot be explained alone and in isolation in Bertsolaris, and therefore you want to make a wink both to the Basque Country and to the feminist movement that has been the focus and direction of the process. They wanted to underline the synergies between these three areas, since they have been fellow travellers from the very beginning of the process and, in return, to those who have devoted the last word in the presentation.

Suppose a male journalist, sitting on the front line, who opened the space for questions and sat on the front line, has launched the petition in the form of a dardo, without any desire to be a question: to summarize what was said in Spanish, please. That they have said very interesting things but that he has a fairly low Basque level and that translating all that will cost him too much time to work. Let’s suppose that for a moment you don’t know how to burst out of laughter, cry or do both at once, you want to scream “forgive but you haven’t understood anything (and it’s not for language)” from the microphone in your mouth.

Suppose that what for some is the culmination of surrealism has not surprised you especially on this occasion. All those resourceful little men who don't ask in several feminist days or forums and who give their opinion with a happy voice before someone else takes the floor. “Forgive, but you have not understood anything either.”

Let us suppose that you reflect on the process of empowerment that you have recently carried out (and will still have to do) to begin to speak in public, to what extent you continue to question at all times the appropriateness of your words, how many you have remained silent or mentioned the interesting idea that you are thinking of yourself alone and in a low voice to your neighbor.

Suppose it's random who feels legitimized to say what. That power relations do not produce (also in this) asymmetry. That they have learned to silence as they have learned to take the floor. Suppose.
