Susanna Tamaro, author of bestsellers such as “Go Where Your Heart Takes You,” recently published two new books: “The Wind Blows Where It May” (Solferino) and “We All Have a Star.” In a recent interview with Verità, the famous writer explained her point of view on various current issues, from the dynamics in relationships between men and women to the education of children and the subject of patriarchy.
During the interview, Tamaro expressed his vision of the relationship between the two Men And WomenIt says: “Because things have changed dramatically since the 1960s and 1970s. The relationships and energetic dynamics between each other are out of balance masculine And female. I grew up in the 1970s, at the beginning of this change, and saw what was progressive Destruction of the male figure, a slow and precise work that found few critics. Now the girls are all alone, there are no exchange relationships because the diversity between men and women is now immense. Men in particular experience a loss of dialogue, words, self-knowledge and thus relationships with others, in this case with women. And that is the first big gap in male education.”
According to the author, the main responsibility for this is the family and the social environmentEducation of children, but today’s society has lost most of its values. “The boys are very weak at the moment and they are aggressive because they are weak. Education should come from the child’s family and social environment. But in a world that did that cancels every value, every effort, every sense of limits, it is impossible to believe that children can grow up healthy. Society served children “a dish of very poor quality,” consisting of “overprotective mothers and absentee fathers.” “A child needs challenges, it needs courage, it needs positive role models. And what models other than video games have we seen in the last thirty years? Only criminals, just watch the TV series. Have we set positive role models? So no, there’s no point in ripping off your clothes and doing it Educational courses “Even though we have been completely silent on this issue for thirty years.” What makes the least sense is to do it at the desks: “I think education and re-education courses are a bad idea because schools have to teach other things.”
On the subject PatriarchyTamaro explained: “In my opinion this is misleading because patriarchy exists in many parts of the world, but not in our world.” We are the luckiest women in the world because we have a situation of great freedom compared to others. “There is clearly violence, that’s what the news says. However, according to Tamaro, there is little to shout about, as transfeminists do today: “Of course the man is physically stronger, he tends to assert himself, he tends to overwhelm the woman when he has no words: that’s a problem, that will always be there.” . The problem, says Tamaro, comes when you go from a “protective” to a “possessive” attitude.
