Dear Deputy Mayor of Ferrara, Mr. Nicola Lodi,
Don't be afraid to tackle complex issues such as misogyny and violence against women, in whatever form it takes.
She demands an apology from those who, in her opinion, offended and denigrated Commander Rimondi based on statements reported by a local newspaper.
She has taken on the role of defender of the Commander, a legitimate choice, but what emerges is her total lack of condemnation of attitudes and behaviors aimed at demeaning the figure of women.
The issue isn't, or rather, shouldn't be, solely about whoever was attributed (whether true or false), but the merit itself. As a woman, I expect to be respected and, yes, even "defended" from any behavior that offends me as a person. It's a matter of civility; verbal abuse and the sometimes aggressive language of social media often serve as incubators for physical violence.
Listening with due attention to your Facebook live broadcast on Sunday 10 January, at minute 7.58 you state that "this administration has always supported and endured “women”: kindly find the time to read the definition of the term in the dictionary Support.
I ask: in the act of making pastry or handling an iron?
In the meantime, I'll give you a preview: To adapt, to resist without difficulty adverse or unpleasant conditions; to tolerate.
Communication has always been an art, and never before has it been used so wisely as a tool to approach and satisfy the bellies of "headboard lions", appropriately invited to share posts and videos.
He will take full responsibility for his decision to refuse to meet with the negotiating union delegation.
That said, I offer you my personal help, that of a woman who carries wounds on her body and soul that will never heal, to understand how wrong it can be not to react in the face of any form of violence. The courage to face fear is a mental exercise that requires constant training. I advise you to apply yourself with commitment.
I publicly thank all those who have expressed their outrage.
In respect of the institutional role that you hold, certain that you will want to "bear" this "trumpeting" of mine
I greet you fraternally.
Brown Barberis
General Secretary of CISL Ferrara
