CAT CALLING
CATCALLING: METAPHOR OR REALITY? By Marta Mancosu Catcalling: cat + calling = calling the cat. The article could end like this, actually. A single word and its literal meaning could answer every explanation and every story but, since this is a much discussed subject and one very close to me, I will try to open some old wounds with you. I wish the literal meaning of the word was also the concrete meaning of its use; maybe you were calling your cat or your own cat... maybe. Catcalling, as anyone knows by now (and if it isn't so, now is...

Menstruation – the Taboo
Menstruation – the Taboo Menstruation is a normal, natural thing and in theory there would be absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and instead still today in the 21st century we find ourselves using terms such as "redheads", "my things", "women's things" ” etc.. all terms that make us understand that after all there is still a big taboo surrounding what is the menstrual cycle. Even today many young women grow up with this shame of having their period, talking about it and asking questions about it. First of all, I perfectly remember the anxiety and embarrassment of having periods...

When a dress speaks more than me
When a dress speaks more than me By Marta Mancosu Can a garment make me a sex object? Can a short skirt label me “easy” along with the price tag? Can my uncovered piercing give free rein to indecent comments or half-open mouths ready to taste you in thoughts (if you're lucky)? Can a flirty boot make me feel slutty? Is it right to leave those fishnet stockings closed in the closet, in the company of that fuchsia lace top or with that short tank top that you have longed for and that is now sleeping in the dark because...

Menstruation: the forbidden word
Menstruation: the forbidden word By Marta Mancosu One word, a thousand reactions and few, very few actions. Having menstruation is physiological, it's normal, it's human, it's life; but then why is it so difficult to pronounce this word, why don't we talk about it in peace, why are we ashamed, why do we laugh? Why, then, do they take themselves so little seriously? Simple, because menstruation is still a taboo, a huge and absurd taboo. I still remember the tricks in class to pass the sanitary pad on, as if it were a good purchased on the black market... I...

Sexism, credibility and matte lipsticks
Sexism, credibility and matte lipsticks By Marta Mancosu Have you ever heard the phrase, “Women have to do everything twice as well as men to be judged half as good”? Unfortunately, that's right, we women often have to prove ourselves and we have to do it more than men. We have to assert ourselves and to do so, very often, we also happen to give up small things, the same ones that, in the long run, also make us lose ourselves a little. It can happen during a job interview, when we think that perhaps it would be better for...

"Women are the first enemies of women"
"Women are the first enemies of women" By Marta Mancosu It often happens to be envious or envious of what other people have or are. It often happens that envy ruins our state of mind and makes us mature within us that side of character that we really wanted to avoid. It happens when we are teenagers, it happens when we see our friend with that game that we like so much too but that we can't have. It happens when we see that girl dressed in those crazy jeans and wish we had them, or when that beautiful body...
