Generally I avoid “Days” like the plague but sometimes is nice to make the odd exception. Here’s one. This is for all the mad, bad and dangerous to know brave girls wot will take to the streets tomorrow to tell rancid masculinity what is what. A las barricadas, quillas! Por la sangre derramada! Que se enteren los casposos! En la calle de los Muros han matado una paloma. Yo cortaré con mis manos las flores de su corona. Anda jaleo, jaleo: ya se acabó el alboroto y vamos al tiroteo. Federico García Lorca www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcexu5LSM_E And for the sheer hell of it.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDv2tmHip_E www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzF47R_LnEg

Transgression is the new law. Edgy is the new norm. Submission is the new rebellion. Internalized masochism rules supreme. The New Doormat is the new heroine. McSex is best.

A recent(ish) survey on relationships in Spain amongst the 15/29 year olds revealed that a staggering average of 35% of women saw as perfectly normal/legit to have their boyfriends control their phones and social media. The ration of young males was even higher. I have no reason to expect that the picture this exposes is much better in our “enlightened” latitudes. Make of this what you will. Meanwhile, as a pre-anti-Valentine card & rant, here’s a modest offering to all the women out there who still refuse to bow down to the new orthodoxies.

Pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen will be the least of your worries. elpais.com/politica/2015/01/27/actualidad/1422363044_535263.html elpais.com/diario/2008/06/16/sociedad/1213567206_850215.html www.girlguiding.org.uk/social-action-advocacy-and-campaigns/research/girls-attitudes-survey
