Michela Marzano, philosopher, essayist and politician, wrote about The print and also told on TV, his experience as a victim of violence, on the occasion of November 25, the day against violence against women, and he asks himself: “How could I not understand that it was only the beginning of a story mixed with violence? “.
“The first time my ex-husband slapped me, I didn’t react. I didn’t expect it, we were on the street, what could I have said or done? What would passers-by think? All the more so as a few hours later, when he explained to me that the way I had smiled at the bank clerk had been inappropriate, cheeky and suggestive, I agreed with him: I had to pay attention to how I behaved with other men, it was a question of respect for him “.

“Ordinary men, ‘normal’ men, fill the news in the newspapers for the brutal gestures with which they kill women at the rate of one every three days “, added the philosopher Giorgia Serughetti on Tomorrow, “the men they kill women because they think they are their ‘thing’“, so much so that” violence today feeds on aggressive victimization, an eloquent sign of the fact that the symbolic order that sustained male power is now largely shattered “also” today we are still immersed in public communication imbued with messages who justify the violent and blame the victims “but” the relationship of circular correspondence between law, common sense, education, politics which made men carry the weight of the crime with their heads held high “, which Serughetti defines:”Contradictory and destructive impulses agitate the masculine“and it is in the interregnum” between the old and the new that the most varied morbid phenomena occur. Among these is gender voilence. To counter it, new men are needed, committed to rethinking themselves and their place in the world “.
