Since the early years of school, many initiatives have been organized to attract women to science. It gives visibility to those we have not yet been able to see so that Marie Curie is not the only name we know. And how well, I think, it's important that women are also in science.
But I think we'll have to start doing something to bring men closer to the letters. For example, we're seeing new writing furnaces. And some have won awards, some have received recognition, others probably not enough. There are also, without a doubt, resistances, often semi-hidden, sometimes even emerge.
"What really worries me is that young men hardly want to write. And what does this hide?"
One (or two) constancy: I've just turned 35, and it's very rare for male writers to be younger than me. And if it had been that the new generations of men have taken a step back, they have renounced the privilege of their centuries for other voices to hear more, they are writing but only to share them among friends, without great pretensions, or simply for their personal enjoyment… I would rejoice. I think it unfortunately responds to something else.
Irati Jiménez has acknowledged in his book "Eyes open" that he is ashamed of some things he has written, but is glad that he did not start publishing too soon. At 28, he published his first fictional book! The truth is, it gives me a little pity that a 25-year-old man can barely read what he has in his head and what is lying on white paper. I am more concerned that there are no references for children and adolescents among young men. But what really worries me is that young men hardly want to write. And what it hides behind. Because, to the extent that the writer is, or should, primarily reader, I fear that young men of letters, or polleros, are also rare, if you prefer. You might think literature doesn't attract. They're probably in more important things. And this text does not want to be a criticism of these young men at all.
Maialen Lujanbio said in a raw radio column about the distribution of household chores: “Fortunately, girls have left this responsibility for housework, girls have left it and boys have not done it.” In this case women have taken the pen, or the keyboard, fortunately, but unfortunately men have left it.

In 2011, the powerful 15-M movement broke out, which put the Catalan Govern in a hurry. Among other things, on that occasion the Police ran into the indignant camp of the Plaza Cataluña de Barcelona and besieged the Parlament on the day that the activists had to approve the... [+]
On the Internet comes the title of a movie that I still saw when I was growing up looking for the word Willow. In this fantasy film, the protagonist, a small man named Willow, transformed the world by liberating its inhabitants from an oppressive kingdom. Google just launched a... [+]
Irene Coulon’s talk about sleeping beauty and the image of incineration has been the main theme of this year’s Feministaldia. He has torn apart the cultural ideas of sleep, making it clear that we also have masculinized sleep. Many of the (cultural) lessons of sleep are... [+]
Araia told me to write to you. He told me that before I leave them (I will do this this year), they want to take you a text of mine, which I have never taken you, and that you deserve, that you will be proud of me. Such an opportunity cannot be missed. I don't know what I can... [+]

Entrepreneurship is fashionable. The concept has gained strength and has spread far beyond economic vocabulary. Just do it: do it no more. But let us not forget: the slogan comes from the propaganda world. Is the disguise of the word being active buyers? Today's entrepreneurs are... [+]
We're in chaos. That has been said to us by the French media, which Parliament has brought down the government on 4 December. The fear that political, institutional, social, economic chaos will rage us all in the horde of hell comes to our veins. What comedy we're going to play... [+]
Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
