El machismo mata, desaparece, humilla, anula, somete y perpet?a la impunidad.

En las violencias de g?nero no son las mujeres las que tienen un problema que resolver, ni la responsabilidad de educarnos. No est?n en ellas las respuestas sobre los machismos, sus or?genes y efectos, sino en quienes se quieren deconstruir para dar paso a nuevas masculinidades. As? que habr? que ponernos creativos para dejar de ser machos, sin dejar de escucharlas hablar de nosotros y nuestras conductas. Este esfuerzo por reconciliarnos entre los g?neros, deconstruirnos y reeducarnos como personas capaces de conversar, amar y respetar las libertades de las mujeres ser? censurable para algunes, porque un hombre (yo, supuestamente hombre, je) escribe acerca de los feminismos. Esc?ndala! Qu? carajo tiene que hacer un cabr?n en terrenos feministas con el pretexto de conocer los or?genes del machismo y c?mo transformarse a s? mismo?

Ojal? en el camino vayamos juntes al mismo destino: respetar, de una vez por todas, las libertades de las mujeres y vivir en equidad. Al cambiar nosotros podremos exigir que los otros actores familiares, comunitarios e institucionales en (lo que queda de) M?xico lo hagan tambi?n.

C?mo dejar de ser un macho?

Es hora de escuchar, pensar y decidir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Machismo is the worst that can happen to women.

Machismo kills, disappears, humiliates, nullifies, subdues, and perpetuates impunity.

In gender violence, women are not the ones with a problem to solve nor with the responsibility to educate us. It is not up to them to find answers about machismo, its origins and repercussions; it is up to those who wish to deconstruct themselves to make way for new masculinities. Therefore, we must get creative to stop being machos, while we keep listening to them speak about us and our conduct. This effort to reconcile genders, to deconstruct and reeducate ourselves as people capable of conversing, loving, and respecting the liberties of women will be censurable to some, since a man (I, supposedly a man, ha) is writing about feminisms. Scandal! What the fuck is a motherfucker doing in feminist territory under the pretext of knowing the origins of machismo and how to transform oneself?

I hope we walk this path together towards the same destination: respecting, once and for all, the liberties of women, so we may live in equity. By changing ourselves we may then demand that other actors, in families, communities, and institutions in (what's left of) Mexico, do it too.

How to stop being a macho?

It is time to listen, think, and decide.
