Morning' editorial.

For some reason, back in the days when I can't even mesmerize, i always had a love affair with books. Books with tiny little characters, books with huge images and no words, and my actual favorites, back then, were the ones about Medieval times and dinosaurs. Now, my readings interest have slightly (thank god) turned into more "adult stuff". Nevertheless, my teenagers days weren't really books-intellectual friendly, so i totally forgot how I use to write and read like probably no kids were doing. It's been a few years since I haven't touched books for anything else then school's reading. Some magazines, some essays, but books in general were kept aside, and traded by nights outs with pals, where my mind couldn't keep any information or knowledge, mostly because there was nothing to gain, nothing involving intellect, i guess.


I came across this one and even if it's a bit generic, it picked up my interest. Not only because she is a feminist, Jewish antisemitism activist, but also because she wrote a book about women hatred for other women. We are, women, quite familiar with all the books about men attitude toward feminism. But a women talking about the real deal, doubt there is much writers who did it. (Beside the "new age therapy" movement) Sure, you do not need a book to know that "every women think every women are crazy" & all that jazz. But being a woman, this is an experience we live every day of our live. Chesler's book cleverly approach the women hatred by dissecting how we manage to keep this circle of jealousy, gossip and insecurity through childhood, teenage years, adulthood and women's tactics used to coerce each others. The author writes about the illusion that women, after all these feminism battles, have the feeling of "womanhood" that the movement expected. Her answer, sadly, is a big no. The hostility that we keep in denial truly exists.

"Most women have a repertoire of techniques with which to weaken, disorient, humiliate or banish other female group members," Chesler writes.

Like Obama said: "It's time for changes".
