RE: Art explained by a writer  - Evil Mothers - A Story

in Venezolanos Steem4 months ago

I can't find the right words to describe how amazing your speech was. Using art in therapy to challenge such personal issues, such as Segantini's paintings of slightly less angelic mothers, has left me... well, let's say that I find feminism enlightening, in the sense that finally someone has turned on the light in the basement of our social conventions.

We talk about motherhood, expectations, labels as tight as period corsets and the recognition of women's daily challenges, both in the family and in society. All this makes me reflect on how we are still chained to dogmas with roots as deep as the trees in those paintings, which seem to prevent female figures from taking flight.

And then there is the therapist, who with all her human frailty, manages to do what no superhero has ever done: break these dogmas with the subtle strength of those who know how to listen. Yes, because sometimes an “Ah, I understand” is really enough to bring down centuries-old walls. Who would have thought that the kryptonite of prejudice was simply a little humanity? And so, in an ending worthy of a Bong Joon-ho film, we discover that weakness, sometimes, has more strength than a thousand speeches.🫣

Sort:  

I had a religion teacher who thought it was a great idea to let student choose one out of the pictures he placed on the floor. The idea was to take one that spoke to you. Well none ever did, can be it was because I was never the first plus he pushed us to decide within a minute.

This contest does a better job. We have time to think and study it. Once I come to writing I always take another one as planned. This time too many picked the one with the angel.

I don't consider myself a feminist justban independent woman but I am fine with man delivering babies but if in a natural way, no c-section and all the luxury and pampering, no 10 days in bed but immediately at work, preferable without moodswings and all the drama. 😉

The average client will not buy 'i understand' but it makes a huge difference if the therapist says: i try to understand you or 'I can imagine that hurts' what is wanted most is to know you are heard. No doodling therapist watching the clock. The knowledge that someone gets paid to sit in a room with you is already bad enough.

I don't think the opinions stereotypes about gender will ever change. Some try hard thesebdays but the harder you try the more people turn their back on you. Inalways wonder why some say they wanted be treated like everyone else (as if that's a great example) but in the meantime they behave abnormal. You can't have it both.
