Gender and stereotypes

It's really hard to give my opinion about this kind of topic. I don't really have good English to express all my ideas, but! This is a good try:

I'm absolutely convinced that women and men are equal. Of course, our bodies are different, but our capacities to think or our strength are equal. For example, I have seen many school classmates with really better marks on maths (and many people say that mathematics is "masculine" science) or many women who have beaten me in football (and everyone says that men are better in sports).

Where is the reason for all this?

I must admit that I am not sure of the "only truth" about this problem, but I think that a big part of the problem is education. When we were kids, learned us many wrongs stereotypes about what it is like for boys and what it is for girls. The boys are forced to play sports, fight and aspire to be a policemans or politicians (powerful professions). The girls are forced to learn about home activities and aspire to be a housewifes or nurses (support professions).

I trink that if this changes, this problem would be less than today's.

New new wave

At the beginning of this year, I started a podcast about music called "The New-New Wave" with some friends. It airs on JGM Radio (a ICEI radio station) on Thursdays and Saturdays at 10 pm. If you cannot catch the live broadcast, you can also try to listen to it on Spotify, Itunes or Ivoox. We decided to create "La Nueva-Nueva Ola" because, last year, we participated in another program about rock music only, so we felt like talking about other genres. I must confess t hat it has been a big challenge. You need to do a great number of arduous tasks to bring a radio program to life ( and many of them we did not know how to do them properly). You have to manage social media sites, send and reply e-mails, setup sound systems and equipment, such as microphones, mixing consoles, etc. Despite the fact managing a radio show is a lot of work, I enjoy carrying it out. Also, it's a good way to understand how radio works and practice my "journalism skills...

Sweet youth (Post 5)

In the picture you can see a young Cristobal drinking vodka with passion. I remember the story: I was 16 years old (2013) and my mom gave me permission to celebrate a party in my building. I invited my whole class and many people of the school. We bought a lot of drinks and we put some good old reggaeton. Next to me, Javier, the only person in my class who was taller than me. Currently, he is in the navy. I do not see too much because he's the kind of person who forces you to drink alcohol without soda. It is really a bad practice, I felt very bad the next day. Apart from the alcohol, Javier was very intense and that intensified over time When looking for the photo for my publication, I felt a bit nostalgic for those moments. All my course separated after we finished school. I go out with many of them separately, but it's not the same. I hope that, in about 10 years, we can meet and talk about the school and its good or bad things.

Biography (or a try)

I was born in Santiago in 1997, 13th May. I´m a "normal" (hetero-cis-happy-healthy) child, who likes p laying with dirt, riding a bike and the like. (Nothing about reading something gloomy or staying in the shadows looking at the other kids playing) I went to a little school near to my house. When I moved to a new house, I went to other little school too. Where? Ñuñoa (ulala posh boy!) I t was there where I finished my high school studies. I don´t really want to tell you about my school days in depth because I hated going to school. I've lived with my mum all of my life. I used to live with my grandmother for the first 10 years. After that, She went to live in the south (and I started visiting her every summer). My hobbies are divided into 4 subjects: music, literature, sport and cuisine. I play the guitar and I listen to a lot of music. I cook my own food. I read some books and I try to go once or twice a week to the park and do some work out.
