Talking about sexism

Sexism is a topic very handled in nowadays, and from very years ago have been important too. In general terms, men are located as “superior” gender above women, and that tradition is wrong. Maybe in the social organization are more men in high positions (any job, for example be the CEO of an enterprise), and that is not bad by itself; the problem is when maybe are women with more abilities for that job, (because that is VERY possible, there are not a difference linked to the gender) and she´s not considered to the job, because there is a man, and maybe he looks like a better choice, but just for be a “he”, and not a “she”. My point is that shouldn´t be differences in the society just for be a man or a woman, but it have to be for the good as the job is.

We can see on the TED talk made by Isabel Allende, some ideas from the feminine perspective of this topic, and mainly, her own vision. She speaks about the passionate hearts, and how it is sometimes forbidden to be for many women in the world. She talks her experience on the Winter Olympics in Italy of 2006 as one of the flag-bearers, with women who have fighted for their rights, and against the prostitution, child prostitution, and violence, and how she don´t invent characters like they in her books, because is just necessary look around to find them. I´m agree with her when she says that feminism nowadays in many cases is dated “for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor (…)”, I think that is a very powerful sentence, for understand what is done, and what we have to do, and keep working on that direction.
