I am a feminist because I am a socialist

We have naturally assumed the story of these heroes of the feminist movement in words, that they are the only ones who defend women. We have convinced ourselves that we are completely sexist not only because we do not participate in batukada or speak an inclusive language, but also … Simply because we don’t vote for them. Feminism, as a contemporary ideological weapon, does not belong to us. They have been able to make it a registered trademark that is considered an integral part of the affiliation, and is advertised as authentic. Or in other words, it is a patent and an acquired right, which simultaneously excuses any misogynistic behavior through the card. As if by simply belonging to the party one could obtain complete leniency in this matter. Hence the slogan of former Minister Abalos, tattooed with fire on the arguments of every parrot aide in the Socialist Workers Party: “I am a feminist because I am a socialist.”

This champion of women’s respect, the leader’s right-hand man since the beginning of Sanchismo, could not be considered sexist while surrounded by acronyms. His colleagues’ discontent was open once the scandal broke. Before, there was applause with the bench standing. give up. Because no one knew about his adventures with Ariatna, the new Colombian, Anaïs (who hid the hard drive in her underwear during the search) or Carlotta (“It’s a Big Deal”). No one could have known, let alone his Peugeot colleague Pedro Sánchez (“Ábalos was very strange to me”), that the PSOE regulatory secretary had appointed one of his “friends” to a public company like Ineco. Since no one from Somar or Podemos could suspect the slightest of Errejón’s alleged sexual interests.

Empirical proof that the PSOE’s feminism is just a theoretical slogan is Sánchez’s actions with Paco Salazar. The fall of Abalos and Cerdan would have strengthened this plumber to the president since his political resurrection had begun in Dos Hermanas. But friendly fire dashed his promotion. Two party colleagues filed complaints about alleged sexual assaults, without providing any evidence other than their testimony. The assumption of women’s honesty is the name of this practice defended by the socialism against which it is turned. However, these demands through the party’s internal channel disappeared at the same time that Salazar submitted his request to withdraw from his membership. At the precise moment the President rescued him as outside counsel for the final stretch of the legislature. Paco “the pig”, as Viggo called him, was pardoned. At least until the content of the complaints is known. Since then, he has become another great player unknown to Pedro.
