At the “Non Una di Meno” demonstration against violence against women, hatred was disguised in pink. The parade of trans-feminist activists against harassment and femicide got off to a bad start before it even began and lost its noble cause. Nothing unexpected, considering the usual mess professionals prominent among the participants. This time with gender sauce. While they prepared for the procession, the advocates of respect relaunched a “story” in their social networks by which we can define the ideological fence on which the initiative itself was built. The “Zero alibi” collective has actually put up a slogan that reads: “-Femicides+Melonicides”. A true death hymn addressed to the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. Symptoms of failure to understand the true meaning of feminism. A terrible paradox, almost an involuntary admission: violence is unacceptable, unless the victims are politically unpopular. It doesn’t matter if the Prime Minister is a mother, a woman who has managed to assert herself from the ground up to reach a third role in the state.
After all, today’s demonstration is entitled “against war and patriarchy”. This is enough to understand how the national day against violence against women is another excuse to indoctrinate students and inflame hatred against the majority of executives. According to these little geniuses, “there is a continuum between patriarchal violence and genocide,” and this should legitimize their actions. There was no shortage of ProPal flags on the walk from Piazza della Repubblica to Porta San Giovanni. Wondering what this has to do with it is almost automatic, understanding it is almost a mystery. Although some protesters condemned the government’s “increasing normalization of patriarchal violence”, they were guilty of implementing “misogynistic and transphobic laws”. Here it also remains to be understood what is meant by experts from social and collective centers, who consider “the only prevention of patriarchal violence is transfeminist and intersectional sexual affective education”. Among the various signs displayed was also one that referred to the recently deceased Ornella Vanoni: “Give us back Vanoni in exchange for Meloni”, we read. Then there was room for protest against the Valditara law decisions and European rearmament policy. It is enough to forget the stated purpose of the procession, but apparently those who do not know the value of respect cannot teach it.
