Just remember to turn on the light

Stereotypes and gender roles are discussion topics at the national level, and more than talking about what each one is about, I want to tell you a personal experience. I think I told them in a publication that I practiced basketball, there came a time when I was called to tests in the national team, but to go to them I had to miss classes, so together with my mom we went to ask for permission to the direction of my school, to avoid future problems, and his response was unusual:  "we can not give permission to go, only men have permission, women are not trained to practice sports professionally, if you want to do it you don´t have our support".   At that time I realized the large number of stereotypes that exist, clearly presented myself equally for the tests, no matter what they told me. How can we ask for a more just, egalitarian and equitable society, if from education we are not capable of demolishing stereotypes? That is why the latest mobilizations seem...
