Off-topic: Women don't lose your Dignity.

 Still from "Breaking the girls" (2013)


I just want to say a thing to all the women out there: I don't care if you drink the entire bar and get drunk when you go out, it's up to you. But I just have a little request. Please, please don't lose your dignity. 

I'm a 19-year-old woman and unfortunately I saw many girls that have my same age getting totally drunk and losing control, bitching around, twerking on guys' faces or kissing randomly boys and girls. Saying these things, I don't mean that girls can't have one-night stands with more than a guy. Everyone is free to do whatever they want because we fortunately live in a free country, but please do it with consciousness. It's so sad seeing girls after they had sex with boys (that they don't even know) that don't remember a single thing about what happened. 

Still from "Lizzie Borden's Revenge" (2014)


I don't know why certain girls act like that. They lose their dignity just for a bit of attention by the male audience and then regret everything. Years fighting to have our freedom and our emancipation wasted just in one night. 

I proudly say that I'm a feminist and I believe in equality between sexes but this behavior sounds like submission to me. An unconscious submission, and many men seems to appreciate this thing. If we don't learn how to respect our own body, how can we pretend to be respected by other people?

Italy's 'Tangentopoli' Scandal - 1992.

Image
“1992”.  For many of you it’s just a number, or more likely, a year. What happened? Probably you’re thinking about the separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, or that John Major was Prime Minister, or even Britain’s infamous currency crash. But during 1992, in another EU nation, a crisis was brewing - the year when Italy became aware of the corruption inside her political world and, moreover, the year when the biggest political scandal in history came to light. On the left: Antonio Di Pietro, Gherardo Colombo and Francesco Saverio Borrelli. “ Mani Pulite ” (literally “clean hands”), better known as Tangentopoli, was an investigation that, before it was over, would see many influential members of Italy’s political and industrial spheres imprisoned for the first (and not the last) time.  Everything started on the 17th of February, when Antonio Di Pietro, the prosecutor who started the investigations, arrested Mario Chiesa, a member of the PSI (Italian Socialist

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop.

The Hobbit: The End of an Era.

(Please, read this post listening to this song . Thanks.) It always happen. It's inevitable. Everything has a beginning and an end. I will not ever get used to it. I will never be ready to the end of a saga. But here I am. Talking about the last chapter of " The Hobbit ".  I admit I was really skeptical when I watched for the first time " The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ". I thought it was a way to make more money and make happy the "Lord of The Rings" fans. But then I changed my mind.  I totally loved these films: I loved Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey, Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarfs. I loved how they popped up at Baggins' house. I loved how Bilbo changed through the movies.  I even loved Thranduil. I pitied Legolas because of his love for Tauriel. And I cried for the impossible love between Tauriel and Kìli (I know it's not in the book but I want to thank Peter Jackson for that).  I'm sad for Smaug. People talked a lot about
