I have two human nephews and the
nephews dogs two years ago in June
of 2015
not one of my nephews human sick and
spend some nights in the hospital
so I went to my brother’s house to
take care of my nephews dogs before the
10 on the night of June 18 I had
planned to go out and have something with my nephew
I already felt better and I’m going to go with my
friends to celebrate my birthday that
it had been a week before leaving
my brother’s house was alone
I opened my facebook message tray
and I discovered that I had many messages
new
There were approximately 100 messages that
They had arrived in less than an hour
all this week I had been
promoting a campaign with friends and
companions of various states of the
Mexican Republic to denounce a
case of criminalization and sexual torture
that two women lived in the north of
country one of them abortion the other was his
friend they were together the denounced the
they took to jail and suffered a
violation of human rights
my friends and I decided to show her her
support even out of the distance and in
social networks because it was the only thing that
we had
someone warned in a reactionary group
from facebook who were women
that we were doing this campaign
so there came a massive attack the
cyber attacks on feminists in
social networks are characterized by having
hate messages stolen accounts block
of profiles death threats and
rape threats
I remember that one of the messages said
how can you defend someone who
abortions and that’s like killing someone
I wish they killed you I did not understand your route
thought for good I said I’ll
ignore this type of messages
I had already received some messages
A) Yes
so it’s ignoring some and everything was
doing what any day of a
feminist is
until I received this one that said that I
I ‘ll take care of them because they’re going to give me a bullet in
head
immediately deactivate my account
I decided not to leave my brother’s house and
I started thinking if I told my
family members I decided not to do it until
know if the threat was real
I remembered that this week my friend link
in the transport from catec to city
university where he studied the
attacked
well in the illegal transport had
recognized by this campaign
all these aggressions were not done
while we were called violent and
radicals
the violent ones are us and good
that is the everyday life of any
feminist
There is something called Backlash Backlash
antifeminist is not a remake of
eyelashes is a concept developed by
their health and in 1991 they describe the
reactionary attacks on women
when we are fighting for our
rights
discourses that generate a climate of
social derision against women and they are
very common for example when
suffragists drew them as women
violent ones that they gave to huasos to the
policemen really and they just wanted
vote
thanks to them we already exhausted and
we have the same right as men
to politicians lie to us
but for who drew it the future was
this women who by voting
Will suddenly go out to give for huasos
this year we were drawn in this way
hooded with sticks chasing
journalists when in reality only
we had said today this part of the
march is for women the mixed part goes
After that is the daily life I tell them about
when you say that you are a feminist and I
I would like to ask you if you can imagine
how would the world be if every time a
woman point out an injustice society
Viennese injustice the need here
and now the world and not the need to
change that woman or let’s see it from
another perspective imagine think about
the historical character man who more
I have moved you that it has more
inspired to change the world someone
with innovations or that fought for its
town a man who remembers in a
historical character now imagine that
they were present in a speech
mighty of this man and that in the end
someone approached him and told him if
I like what he says is because this is
very angry I cited des beautiful when
you smile neither submission and devotee I love you
free cute and crazy and shaved a few times
that you want to change the world and another that
do not depilate you imagine
that ‘s what we have to live the
women every time we advertise
politically but contrary to what
what is believed
we feminists also laugh at
made laughter and feminism have
many things in common both are
necessary and liberating
there are multiple ways to make people laugh and there
multiple ways of doing feminism and
both laughter and feminism are
able to take the truth and pain
to transform them into something better
if truth and pain the raw material of the
comedy and feminism find
our truth is painful but this
pain can also generate
transformations changes and tensions that
when broken they can generate laughter and
pleasure
hence the search for truth we
make you think about how we do
world because we suffer and that so much of that
suffering can and should be
transformed into rights but also into
Laughter and pleasure
I understood it this day that I tell you
that after leaving with my friends I
I had a great time and I heard someone
is talking badly about feminists said
all feminists are bitter and
Hairy and cheerful I am a feminist and my
son but choose but not really I am
feminist that I did hair removal
final and I again grow
Hairs made him laugh because I’m talking
of a painful truth it is true that I am
feminist and it hurts a lot to wax but
there was a deeper painful truth and
is that I was announcing that by being
feminist are attributed to me
stereotyped features and it got me
submits to derision and rejected
we constantly have to understand that
one of the most essential bridges between
what we are and what we want to be like
society is to recognize the need for
change and the feminist comedy is a
great tool to do it
first because it can help us
announce our painful truth as
women and also because it’s a place
where to rest from this world that we
they constantly attack
we also have the right to live all
the states of our being and that includes
to anger in the same way as to laughter
because if not, there is no other
feminist announcement is powerful and
necessary in the arts in the sciences
in politics but also in the
jokes because we can reveal something
that has been hidden from us for centuries
which is that we really think the
women about the world how we perceive
the suffering in him one of the fallacies
of the bac the antifeminist is that
feminist women we can not laugh at
innocent chistecillos that we are these
embittered as if feminism was a
character defect and it is not true
this is a contradiction in my life
because I love to laugh makes me laugh
to the people I love and to whom I do not
I also want no way but also
I get angry very easily about everything
when he heard jokes about rape or
femicide
this joke is that they are not innocent
reproduce a violence that charges
life of seven women daily in this
country
It should be mentioned that they are not jokes
politically incorrect the
political incorrectness requires
sharpness and courage to point out the
taboo subjects put on the primitive side not
from the teacher side
that’s why I said enough
we need comedy feminist comedy
feminist who have already done some
women in the cabaret in the burlesque in
the clown in him being in such a medium
masculinized as comedy but not
only that we live comedy us
every day clinging to people
that makes us laugh at the people with whom
we get along well with the people that we
rest from all these aggressions
constant now defend laughter not
it means that we are going to be good
for time does not mean that the
next feminist march let’s say
oli silva left you knew I do not want
that accuse me finally bay
no it’s not about that it’s about
understand that we have the right to denounce
all the things that hurt us and that
we have right are angry for
to be able to laugh later and good in my
experience the hurry towards a
transformation tool on 31
May 2016
it occurred to me to name it alba
class I said I will not tell you backlash
I’ll say it nacho created a character
who took the form of
satire is nacho progre
nacho is a pun with macho
and progress refers to the guys who
believes that by being revolutionaries or saying
that are feminists no longer attack the
women and yet they have no qualms
in doing more tone auditing
playing or deliberately hurting their
compañeras I came up with the name and
she is carmina guarden gave her a
identity a face and since then
we work together
she draws it I do the script in the
page
There are many people who laugh with nacho
plays with him especially girls we
they write from many countries in america
Latina tell us about their experiences
terrifying with macho guys like
nachito and the most important thing for me is
They laugh not tell us I laughed
a lot and thank you and I also laugh a lot
when I write it
then what I want to do the day of
today is a direct provocation
we need women looking for their truth
painful
we need all of us to stick to the
Laughter as a place to rest from
this world that has attacked us so much and
also to announce us without laughter
there is feminism because without humor there is no
social transformation
thanks the works
