Now that the lights have returned, I see on television that a music festival is "back," Tetafest, as it's called, featuring concerts by female artists. In the advertisement, a playful, bubbly voice says something like, "Oh! And don't forget to bring your boobs." So, with the name, they're using the part (the breasts) as a vindictive synecdoche. They're mistaking the part (the breasts) for the whole (the woman). Tits, in short, it is a colloquial word in Spanish. Ours is, or was, goals. I loved hearing the expression "make a goal." In Lleida, it's the sterns. I suppose, to put it properly, I might have to say that in each wash We lose a sheet.
I think it's essential that women be seen (I swore never to say "made visible") everywhere. In business, in the arts, and also in bars and on the streets (I always say we're in the business world but not so much in leisure). But I don't think it's essential for us to be women, but because there are good ones among us. I like the artists on the Tetafest lineup, but I don't see why you can't have a festival called Pit and Collons, for example, where there are men and women who make good music. I won't go to a festival where there are only women; I like music too much to be able to choose politicians. I don't listen, read, or eat or nibble for gender equality reasons, but rather for matters of taste. I have the same reservations, for example, with the Women of Wine. In this extraordinary group, I have friends, because the women winemakers make extraordinary, very good wines. But what would be truly fantastic was that there was a group called Gente del Vino (as I dream, the name is in Catalan) and that in this group, naturally, there were all these women, extraordinary artists. Among my favorite classical singers are women. Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse. But there are also men like Bowie, Brassens, or the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I'll go see El Último de la Fila in concert because I love them. But I wouldn't go if they were performing at a festival called Titafest.
