Renunciation of our own existence

Antton Olariaga

A four-year-old girl recently explained to her mother her desire to be a child. Esm actually wants to be a firefighter. This story spread on the net and jumped to television on the occasion of the recording of a magnificent video for the child by the firemen of Bizkaia. The answers he received were immense from different places. Many women taught him the reality because, being erased from public and social representation, we do not seem to exist. The lack of referents, beyond the lack, is very serious due to the elimination of women.

But I do not want to look at that, but at a cunning phenomenon hidden in the words of the Esme. To say that he wants to be a boy, being a child and feeling the girl, means giving up his own personality, his fundamental essence. It's not the first, not the only one. It's more common than you think. And the denial of hatred is a really short step.

However, this thought, which puts the hairs on its head, makes us enter normally. Surely Esme's mother has also done so: the person who has been since childhood, once married, has refused and has become another person, because naming someone else's name is nothing more than that, denying our being and turning it into another person. If everyone who has a name has a being that doesn't have a name, it's actually not. We are disguised as love and tradition by hatred and betrayal of ourselves.

It is true that the Spanish State is outside this tradition. And that's one of the things that I've loved since I was young. That and, for the time being, the absence of first lady. So far. The one who is now President was now walking his wife before the people and those who want to be Presidents have also begun to do the same. Women as a fashion complement. I am sure that if she did not do so, Sánchez’s wife would not have been forced to leave her position. But he stopped being Begoña Gómez since he began to fill the empty and empty role of the First Lady. Once framed in it, this is the only public role possible. The patriarchate has forced him to pay the deliberate step back from his skin.

But let's go back to that, Esme probably already knows that the term girl not only serves to designate it, but also to insult everyone. Remember, if not, that the brand Always made the campaign announcement: doing things like a girl is doing wrong, weak and foolish, or at least so imagined by the girls who participated in the experiment, who were since very assimilated.

Before we know how we want to be, we begin to become aware of what we are. We collect self-awareness and discover the self: what we are and what we can do. This process begins when we have just over a year of life. We started working on self-definition and self-concept: referring to ourselves, valuing our skills and measuring our effectiveness. It's not a solitary process, because what the environment tells us about us is totally conditioning us, and we understand as "environment" all the messages and images that bombard us in 24 hours. No wonder that a recent study by the University of California found a self-confidence gap between one million women and men from 48 countries studied. Esm himself, who is only four years old, knows that being a child, in himself, is less.
