abstractions?? please don't talk nonsense

For a long time, women could not take the stage in theaters. If I’m not mistaken, the history of Elizabethan theater did not include women on stage. In other eras, castrati played female roles that were not allowed for women. Is it possible that all these things do not make you doubt that for a long time, women had a well-defined role in society and that much was denied to them? Today, a lot has changed, but not everything. An important breaking phase was also brought by feminism, which did not simply mean setting fire to bandeau bras. Like all radical movements, it also carries contradictions and mistakes. However, it had a significant importance in breaking down a framework, an importance that is often denied today, often due to a lack of knowledge. Even today, feminism has its value in wanting to promote the concept of diversity, which is the exact opposite of the confusion between the sexes. Perhaps we should all reflect on the role of women in this society and realize that while progress has been made, much still needs to be done. Certain phrases, like the last one written by Frangipane, demonstrate that some clichés are difficult to eradicate and live on fully today in the minds of many. I honestly believe that the most suitable term for these phrases is "bullshit," and I apologize for the Frenchism.

Let's seek true and serious explanations for a context in the social and cultural history of the West. Looking back in history, one realizes that in past centuries these sectors were closed to women. I would like to remind you that in Italy women have been voting since the foundation of the Republic! They vote! Damn! Since 1945, sixty years... but what does that even mean? We are talking about one of the most important rights that women achieved much later than men, and not without struggle and obstacles (I remind you that, for example, Togliatti was against granting women the vote for fear it might favor the DC). And music and theater? Until not very long ago, women were not allowed to be part of the Wiener Philharmoniker, just to mention an important example since we are talking about simply the most important orchestra in the world, not just anything.

I completely disagree with some of the posts written on this page. I wish I had more time to respond, but right now I can dedicate very little to the discussion. Your reading - dear frangipane - seems very superficial to me and drenched in sexist clichés that I find unpleasant. However, I prefer not to dwell on these and to reflect on what you are saying. The fact that women are statistically less present in various fields, from music to science to politics, is true, although it is a bit too general a statement since this data varies from culture to culture. But let's go further. Without delving too deep, it would still be appropriate to ask why this situation exists (perhaps taking history as an example, setting aside personal experiences that can be irrelevant in an analysis, and here I also address Ezechiele).

What idleness in the tour of never returning to the dazed routine of light singing

Certo! Inviami pure il testo che vuoi tradurre.

"I don't think therefore you are, this captivates me, the artist is not me, I am his smoker." :)

I only heard a few tracks and while listening, I formed a different impression from yours: "It's still him," I kept telling myself. Said this way, it could be a strength or a weakness, depending on the perspective from which you look at things. To me, it seemed like a weakness, and the album didn't convince me ... for now. Hi Francesco and welcome.

On the record, I repeat what I already said in the sister review, namely that, in my opinion, it is too early to give a definitive judgment (positive or negative); however, my first impressions are not negative. Regarding the man/woman discourse, I believe many things could be said, but, with all the risks of generalization, I personally cannot deny the existence of a different sensitivity between the female and male universes. I would add, moving to a value judgment, "thankfully." This leads to a different approach to many things, thus also to music on various levels. As for the role of women in history, it is ontological that going back in time, it is at least difficult to find numerous notable female names in the fields of art, science, and politics (which, however, are equally present) compared to male names, but I believe the cause lies in the cultural structure of society. However, over the course of the twentieth century, this has changed and is still changing. In reality, we find ourselves in the midst of a very long process of cultural change. So, if there were not many names in the past, I do not rule out that there may be many in the future, given how society has changed in the last century.
