People have been fighting for two days over Amaral. If you are not on vacation on Mars, you will know that Eva Amaral, a stupendous vocalist who has come from rock to pop in a 25-year career, sang bare-chested this Saturday in Sonorama “for the freedom of women,” she explained.
In other words, the one from Zaragoza (51 years old) went topless with a message. Her boobs were accompanied by a speech according to which, left like this, loose and in the air for all to see, they combat the stinking reactionary breath released by the ultra-right in Spain.
Go ahead, I think it’s great that Amaral did that at a concert. That is called freedom, and may it last a thousand years. Nothing is superfluous when it comes to putting speakers to what should never be questioned as a right. However, do not overdo it with enthusiasm because doing so denotes a certain imposture.
Servidora wonders if uncovered breasts really maintain the claiming power that broad sectors of Spanish society attribute this time to those of Amaral. Modestly, I think not, even though he has taken offended and machos out of his lair.
This gesture is not a “revolution”, even if it is repeated a thousand times on social networks. Naked boobs are no longer scary. Ask them, if not, those of Femen, currently missing in action. If Amaral achieved anything this Saturday, it is that the uncovering of her caused a break of a few hours, a few days perhaps, in the exchange of reproaches between feminists.
Addressing the Aphrodite, that of Mazinger Z, the problems of women has a rather short journey. Yes, this Ferragosto from Puigdemont has relieved us a bit; little more.
I close with a note in the margin of the Amaral case. I don’t think that this summer young women are not going topless out of modesty, puritanism or whatever they will say. In fact, fashionable mini-bikinis involve combining a very simple top with panties with a lot of thongs, the more thongs, the better. Showing the buttocks and covering the nipples is also a sign of freedom. The freedom to choose: the true cause of feminism.
