Today I want to tell you my story, to make you understand how machismo and retrograde today's society is still.
For those of you who don't know, I am a girl who lives in Bari, CAPITAL of Puglia, a region of Southern Italy. I would like to point out that it is a capital because it is not a village but a real city that has 500,000 inhabitants. Well, in this city he still lives a lot of masculinism and bigotry and not only on the part of men.
If you look for me on Instagram as @coyotecutee you will see that my name is "La tifosa della Bari", this name has been attributed to me by the media since towards the middle of this September I became famous in my city because during a football match, I wanted to lower my pants as a sign of exultation. I posted the photo on my Instagram profile that within a few hours went viral on social media.
Under the Instagram and Facebook pages that had shared my shot I could read comments of all kinds, from those who appreciated to those who insulted, but the thing that broke my heart is that 99% of the insults came from women. Women who in order to give me on me started to give me a ‘Troia’, to tell me that I had shown my butt because my face was ugly and to insult my parents.
Thanks to the media I was able to have my say in some interviews but despite this these women continued with the same insults.
I wonder why in 2022 the most male chauvinist people remain women?
I would like you to sincerely express your opinion because I believe that this is the only safe environment in which I can express myself.
