From this distance, issues and feelings can be seen from different angles. And there is so much going on in our world today. The world-wide struggles of women is one. A virus going viral is another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, the day I write this is March 8, International Women\u2019s Day. A day that, more than a celebration, is a commemoration of a long struggle for gender, economic and social justice for women, something that has eluded them, the world over. Never mind that they number way over 50 percent of the population of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Mexico, a big march is taking place in Mexico City. One of the central issues is the protest against gender violence, resulting in an obscene number of femicides. In 2019, close to 4,000 women were murdered in Mexico, many of them by relatives, partners or men they actually knew. Those large numbers are the official numbers\u2026and we all know that \u201cofficial\u201d and \u201ctrue\u201d are generally quite different concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All over the American continent, women are gathering in a spirited example of international unity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1514\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=2000%2C1514&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?w=2000&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=330%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=768%2C581&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=600%2C454&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=370%2C280&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=800%2C606&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=20%2C15&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=185%2C140&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=740%2C560&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=1110%2C840&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=400%2C303&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=1600%2C1211&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/JuanLudd_Feminismo_edited_web.jpg?resize=63%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 63w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Illustration: JuanLudd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I checked social media and saw the amazing number of women that occupied many cities all over Chile. In Santiago, the capital, the organizers declared that the participants reached almost 2,000,000 people, mostly women. The videos and photographs seem to back that assertion, which would be a new mark in the long political history of that country. Regardless, the \u201cofficial\u201d count was slightly over 110,000 people. A number put forth by the \u201cCarabineros,\u201d that is the Police forces of Chile. The \u201ccarabineros\u201d are a heavily armed institution, whose job seems \u201cto serve and protect\u201d some people above others. They respond, first, to those who are indeed above everyone else in the country. The historical owners of all hold power over them. They are not going to let go of their power very easily. And the cops faithfully obey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women\u2019s march, which has been loud yet peaceful, was followed by a call for a National Strike, also led by women. I bet that, on March 9, \u201ccarabineros\u201d were doing more than just miscounting the numbers of participants and that their repression was violent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Veracruz, Mexico,&nbsp; accompanied by Azucena (my partner) we attended a few events that focused on the struggle of women of Mexico. We were lucky to catch a \u201cconversatorio\u201d (a public conversation and discussion) that featured five women: a poet, a theater director, a photographer and two representatives of a beautiful cultural center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, it was interesting to observe how there is a reluctancy to embrace the term \u201cfeminist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the participants were clear examples of awesome artistry and most of their work exhibited a clear interest to represent females, but only one of them\u2014the youngest one\u2014declared herself a feminist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seemed to me, (and I raised that inquiry in the aftermath of the event) that in Mexico, as it also happens in Chile\u2014and even in San Francisco\u2014the weight of an unfair and untrue equivalency between \u201cmachismo\u201d and \u201cfeminism\u201d still holds a lot of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as the younger moderator\u2014the one who embraced the term \u201cfeminist\u201d\u2014expressed at the end of the \u201cconversatorio\u201d: \u201cEvery woman has her own path, marked by her own generation. Our self-definition belongs to us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, it is clear that the massive response against patriarchal neoliberalism, all over the world, is being led, Hallelujah, by younger women\u2026and men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>******************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the Coronavirus is concerned, as we check social media, around the world, including the news from the San Francisco Bay Area, Mexico seems a far more relaxed space to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand-shaking still prevails, people gather in large numbers and they dance and kiss with abandonment, health officials are actually allowed to address the masses, unlike what goes on in the Empire up north, where official petulance seem to plant fear and panic in the population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I have been more worried about that old curse, popularly known as \u201cMoctezuma\u2019s revenge,\u201d which has indeed caused havoc with the soft intestines of so many visitors from \u201cthe Land of the Free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I cannot keep from mentioning another event, which also happened in Chile. In the middle of last week, two famous and beloved theater artists died. They were Alejandro Sieveking\u2014a writer and actor\u2014and B\u00e9lgica Castro, a beloved actress. They had been married for over 60 years and they met when Alejandro was a 22-year old student in B\u00e9lgica\u2019s acting class, when she was 36. He had written many plays with her in mind and they had collaborated with V\u00edctor Jara, the singer and theater artist, in a company called \u201cTeatro del Angel.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were perhaps the best known couple in the history of the Chilean theater.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 5, Alejandro died first. He was 85. On March 6, as if determined by the writer of their shared love story, B\u00e9lgica followed him. She was 99 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life, death, struggle, love, always intermingling, as I end sharing my view from next door.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAye!
