  • Overview

    «El machismo es la idealización de la violencia como medio, como fin, como instrumento educativo coercitivo; es una trampa que normaliza lo inaceptable.»

    Con estas palabras Lydia Cacho define el punto de partida de este libro imprescindible. #EllosHablan son testimonios de diversos hombres que hablan de su infancia y ponen en evidencia la violencia que vivieron en su entorno. Ellos nos dejan ver cómo en el ambiente hogareño y hostil, los niños normalizan aquello que más tarde detonará en relaciones verticales, violentas y discriminatorias que avalan un sistema de impunidad y paternalismo salvaje.

    Lydia Cacho va a contracorriente de nuevo; acompaña a los hombres a mirarse al espejo en busca de un diálogo abierto para entender los orígenes de la violencia. La autora nos invita a pensar desde otro lugar para desmenuzar esto que llamamos #el hombre normal#. Una investigación que busca replantear el liderazgo masculino; cuestionar la sumisión ante la violencia a fin de que niños y jóvenes tengan nuevos asideros para construir su identidad sin atavismos.
     
    «El machismo es como una prisión bajo tierra. Un lugar rabioso, sobrepoblado y solitario a la vez. En ese sitio, todo se trata de romper a otros o que te rompan. Y uno descubre que está allá abajo un día, que está desde niño. Y entonces, a veces, uno decide escalar, rasparse, golpearse, arañarse y alejarse todo lo posible. Porque si hay una mejor vida que esa, seguro que está en otro lado.» - Antonio Ortuño, escritor
     
    "Una mujer valiente e inteligente que sí sabe de qué habla." -Arturo Pérez-Reverte

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    “Male chauvinism is the idealization of violence... a trap that normalizes the unacceptable.”

    This is how Lydia Cacho defines the starting point in this must-read book. #MenSpeak are the testimonies of several men regarding their upbringing, showcasing the violence they experienced in their own environment. These testimonies let us know how in such a homely and hostile environment, children normalize that which will later detonate vertical, violent, and discriminatory relationships, supporting a system of impunity and savage paternalism. Lydia Cacho invites us to think from a different standpoint, to unravel what we call “the normal man.” An investigation that wants to reframe masculine leadership and question submission in the face of violence so that children and young people get a new hold to build their identity without atavisms.
     
    “Male chauvinism is like an underground prison. A rabid, over-crowded, lonely place. Here everything is about breaking others or getting broken. And one day you discover that you are down there, that you have been there since childhood. And then, sometimes, you decide to climb the wall, get scraped, beaten, scratched, and as far away as possible. Because if there is a better life than this, it is surely somewhere else.” —Antonio Ortuño, writer
