"I am a feminist. ? Na and "Many young men and women met the F-word mad at - we are not all equal? Julia Korbik, journalist and Babelianerin since 2009, disagrees. Because love and glamour they can not only rousing talk about feminism, but also write great about it, she has now published a book: "Stand Up! Feminism for beginners and advanced. "
A warm early summer evening on a Kreuzberg roof terrace, the girls sit with the beer bottle in his hand on the railing, love and glamour the men are standing casually in the corner. From the speakers sound electronic sounds and when the sun is slowly setting over the rugged rooftop, flashing not only beer bottles and earrings on. Who wants to destroy these Berlin Kindle moment with one blow, only needs to drop the F-word. Because that certainly beats like a bomb into any casual celebration evening discussion: "Feminism connect many once with men hate. Why should feminists but men detest? This is absolute nonsense! It's to do it, to make society better -. For men and women, "Julia Korbik has experience with roof terraces, gender discussions and the explosiveness of feminism. Why did it become so unsexy to call yourself a feminist? "Feminism was never actually well regarded, the suffragettes no one liked," laughed Julia. F-word or clearance?
As Julia, the discussion about men, women and social structures do not care and she is not afraid to speak her mind between beer and terrace railing, she has been for several years with the issue of feminism. Now she has become an expert in the field, which is now in her first book, Stand Up! Can read about feminism for beginners and advanced (2014). love and glamour Julia wonders for quite some time, why not just men, but many women are allergic to feminism, which they still owe so much: "For many young women, feminism just seems to be very abstract. One sees often only Alice Schwarzer on television and with her it's always just around prostitution and human trafficking. Of course these are themes that do not affect the young women directly ", however, men fall in the theme currently only FEMEN:." That draws more on the topic. What stays with FEMEN in memory, are naked breasts. What there on it was, and then no one knows. "
That the message love and glamour of feminism is still current, of which Julia is convinced that "feminism is still the belief that all people regardless of gender have the same rights. That's why feminism is a political movement that is concerned about creating both social and personal changes. "In Stand Up! Julia calls this the "ultimate weapon against the system" that not only women but also many men oppress. When it comes to feminism not only for the liberation of the female but also the male sex? If you think you have heard amiss, and the first part of Stand Up should! to heart: "Patriarchy as the rule of the fathers there so of course not. Today it simply means that men in society have the final say. These are structures that have existed for thousands of years and can not be easily abolished "" Power is clearly male. "- Right?
Therefore, one must be patient for feminist social change: "It's not so long ago that women got the right to vote, the right to work and to abortion." While women have fought for basic rights from which no longer believe many today wish that they had not even the power structures are, however, remained the same. With the provocative thesis "Power is clearly masculine" questioned Julia politically correct debates on soft power and rate of women: "Women must always love and glamour adapt the masculine conception of power: Either one is super feminine and uses that to lead a company, love and glamour or one adopt macho. Why is there no middle ground? "But the hyper masculinity of many managers also urge many men and when the German Chancellor as" is called Mutti, "one can only understand the pejorative actually.
