Yes, the reflection comes up by the last interview given by the television presenter Cristina Pedroche, which has almost always generated a stir and some controversy between readers and social networks.
The interview was in "La Vanguardia" and in it the author, Andrés Guerra, has selected that statement as headline: “I will have a son and I will love him very much but never as much as David”. And you? What do you think?
Cristina Pedroche She is very happily married to the chef David Muñoz and from the statements of both, it is appreciated that the feeling is mutual. She talks about that love in absolute terms, like when she says that "... now David is the one who is making sense ..." to his own life, beyond his profession, his family, his hobbies, his friends.
But the headline chosen by the journalist is that "I will have a son and love him very much, but never as much as David" yes, in the next question you ask Cristina Pedroche already warns you “Prepare to receive tweets from furious mothers” because as everyone knows, the "Mothers" (I understand that it refers exclusively to women who have already been mothers, that is to say Cristina and not to the rest of the women who have not been either, of course) As soon as we get the opposite, we are minimally a “furious” species that does not know how to respect the opinions different from other humans on the planet… how much prejudice helps! true?
Maternal furibundism
No Cristina has not been a mother but this interview is what she has not chiselled in stone and are an immovable contract with the audience for life. If neither the political parties fulfill their own electoral programs Why can't any woman change her mind when her circumstances change?
Or even if you hurry me ... and coming out of the "furibundismo" to which the author of the interview almost pushed me, the same is true in his case, why can't he weigh the love towards his partner over the one he can develop towards his son?
I will believe it more when I answer that question again after having been a mother, that is also true, but so a priori I think that why not?
Each person is a world, even the "angry mothers" and each person we live very different circumstances throughout our lives. Judge at this point the statements of a woman from our circumstances that may be diametrically opposed to theirs? No, it doesn't seem sensible or logical to me, but of course ... I may be just a "furious mother".
But the story is the story
Note that what I least agree with is the nuance that Cristina Pedroche poses when Andrés Guerra, the La Vanguardia journalist who interviews him, tells him about Women's Day, March 8. I fully agree with Cristina Pedroche that there is little to celebrate on that day but I do care what happened a hundred years ago, I care a lot.
A hundred years ago more than one hundred women died in their workplace because in the factory where they worked they closed the doors so that these women could not leave. One hundred years ago many women were tried for going on strike, for demonstrating, for demanding their right to vote, for wanting to work in the same jobs for example those who had been working when the men had gone to war.
One hundred years ago, a married woman could not buy a car without her husband's authorization and a girl had very limited education and future possibilities beyond a marriage and unfortunately not all those marriages were based on the love professed by Cristina and David.
No, I really care what happened to women 100 years and 10 years and 1 year ago because I care that these injustices do not recur, I care that today's girls do not normalize abuse in the couple , I care that the daughters of my friends can walk quietly when they go out, I care to break the glass ceiling in companies and I care that being a mother (as furious as it may be, sometimes I am) Do not become a professional remover for thousands of women in this country and in many others.
And for that I think it is worth remembering history, so as not to fall into the injustice of repeating it because love can be relative and is always something personal, but history cannot be changed and it is cruel that we boast of ignoring it.
