In this country we know with greater precision what happens in the Big Brother house than what happens inside any regional Parliament.
Big Brother is the greatest example of impunity for machismo and gender violence. The eye that sees everything, looks the other way when a woman is raped.
The retransmission of other people's privacy has always been an entertainment channel.
This is just the showcase that shows a society gender violence "live" to later reproduce it in other homes. This society has settled down and prioritizes morbid entertainment, ignoring the struggles that are important. A country that prefers to watch gossip to nurture the life of entertainment focused on tearing down and attacking the dignity of other people's lives. A country that, instead of boycotting a platform that has allowed a live rape to take place, prefers the show to go on.
Because that's what "Telecirco" is all about, anything goes to feed the show.
What was evident is that after what happened, trash TV was not going to be up to the task. While everyone is filling their mouths in prime time with feminist campaigns and betting on real equality, they are able to record a live rape without flinching. However, those who are surprised that we have not been up to the task, are us, those who in some way, are complicit in shielding and strengthening this type of content. Record audience with more than 3,500,000 people attentive is the average of the last galas of its edition number "who knows".
The reality is that the only ones who have been up to the task in recent days have been the more than 50 companies that have withdrawn their sponsorships.
The country without big sisters lacks empathy and sisterhood.
And is an accomplice.
Because in the country without big sisters the most searched words in recent weeks on Google have been "Cayetano and his lover", "Eva González devastated", "video of Carlota's rape" and "audios of the victim of Arandina".
This patriarchal system disguised as a sweetened feminism feeds its morbid with machismo and rapes.
Feminism in the streets and a lot of machismo in the houses.
Trash TV feeds us the inhuman part, erases solidarity and empathy from our DNA and makes us more intrusive, critical and invaders of lives that are not ours.
The time spent on trash TV is dead time, it is the greatest expression of procrastination. And that lost time shouts at us;
Save me from television!
Because gossip is the "bread for today" of this country.
Encouraging that the lives of others become important, to postpone the importance of our own, is a real shame.
Carlota's rape will not go unpunished for justice, what will go unpunished is the mentality of this country, where when it needs more sisterhood than ever, Big Brothers appear with their audience peaks, and without traces of big sisters who unite to protect themselves from machismo.
Because it is not only worth shouting and going out on 8M and 25N. Sisters, we have to shout every day, until we run out of VOX and patriarchy in our entrails.
It is not enough to go out and fight in the streets on specific dates, the fight begins in the armchair of your house and in the choice you make when you turn on the TV, when you consume low cost made in exploitation for 3.99 euros.
The mirror of coherence is dark, it is.
Being a feminist and an ecologist is a real pain, it is a meticulous and hard work, it is being with the senses on 24/7 and being able to change habits that we take for granted, and that are macho. But it is a fight that must be conquered.
We have to shout until platforms that allow us to be raped "live" are eradicated. Only then, we can sit down to procrastinate. And enjoy what we have earned.
Only when in this country, we are "Big Sisters".
