BarcelonaThese days of Rubigate the sorority springs up everywhere. It is exciting to note that the feminist struggle has served something, even if it is to make nervous those who have systematically discredited their female colleagues for not having a penis. Some have even had to pretend that they were very aware of the problems of the players when they had never spent even five minutes on them. They have not lacked space to pontificate in their large estate of talk shows and opinion columns. This time, however, there were women beyond the quotas, and the feeling of widespread empowerment was cathartic. You only have to see how an article by Gemma Herrero has been widely spread Jot Down in which he denounced the sexist practices endemic to sports journalism. All this is not just about one area: the revolt is collective.
The Spanish Federation’s negligent management of the days following the unconsented kiss has contributed to fueling a much-needed fire. Jenni Hermoso is already the symbol of an advanced 8-M that has been like an unexpected social explosion. Male violence is at the center of the debate with unprecedented vehemence in a country that criminalized Nevenka Fernández 22 years ago. This, my friends, is the unique and exclusive merit of those of us who took to the streets to raise our voices. It shows that together we can change consciousness and political tendencies. It is also true that having an enemy like Rubiales paves the way for many of those who ignore our proclamations every March to now have enough bull shame not to want to be on the same side as the slob of Motril. But we also know how to point out those who hide at our dinners.
Referee Alexia Putellas says the legacy they are looking for is that future generations of players can focus exclusively on soccer. Wow, what men do in all professional fields. What Alexia points out is no nonsense: equality will be achieved when none of us has to waste an ounce of energy thinking about whether she will be commented on how she is dressed, whether she will be paid the same as that man who does exactly the same work, whether he will be able to finish speaking in a meeting without being interrupted or whether, on the day he has a health problem, they will give him a good diagnosis despite the fact that medicine considers the male body as the universal body. Now it’s easier to think that yes, that the legacy that Alexia claims is possible to achieve. This is more important than winning the World Cup.
