The applauded reflection of Verónica Fumanal on the women who come to power and who sweeps the networks: “Structural machismo”

the journalist Veronica Fumanal is one of the regular analysts of the openthe space for political talks in Day by day in the SER Chain. One of the aspects discussed this Thursday has been the machismo that women suffer when they access positions of power, as is the case of jacinda ardernPrime Minister of New Zealand, who has announced that she is resigning due to a lack of “energy”.

“I have given my all to be Prime Minister, but it has also cost me a lot. I cannot and should not do the job unless I have a full tank plus a little in reserve for those unplanned and unexpected challenges that inevitably present themselves.” Ardem has confessed, who has wanted to make it clear that he is not leaving office “because it is hard”, but because “it entails a great responsibility: “I do not have enough energy to do it justice”. This fact has meant that a part of the New York press Zealand has described him as “crybaby” in a shameful exercise in machismo.

This. A thousand times this ??

Given this fact, Fumanal has been forceful in the microphones of Cadena SER: “In politics, and above all in public opinion, women suffer spectacular double standards. If a woman is determined, brave and daring, she is told that she is evil and demonic, that she is all for power. If a woman comes out with an empathetic vision of politics, of care, it is said that she is not made for the widgets of power, that she has to go home, “she expressed.

Next, the communicator has found the key: “Women never have the perfect level to be in places of responsibility because we are very daughters of bitches or very soft. And that is the problem, since men always have the leadership appropriate and special. If one has a testosteronic leadership, more like Aznar, it is because he has a pair of noses. And if he is a more empathetic, more transversal man, Zapatero type, it is because he has a very humane leadership”, he continued.

Finally, this is how the analyst ended her speech: “This is the structural machismo that women suffer in politics and in all places of responsibility. It happens to the directives“, he finished.
