Good morning Director Feltri, I am a young woman, just graduated in political science, I have no idols, I have no myths, but I admire our prime minister very much. I think she is a model of a free, emancipated, independent woman who does not need to have a powerful man next to her to be and become who she is. She walked alone. Feminists should draw inspiration, as I do, from Meloni, but instead they fight her, insult her, offend her. Even the latest recognition obtained by Giorgia, crowned the most powerful person in Europe, was another opportunity to attack her. Why? I really don’t understand these anti-Meloni feminists.
Erica Ruffini
Dear Erica, the question you ask is interesting.
In short, you ask for what logical reason women who proclaim themselves and consider themselves “feminists” should hate one of them who makes it, the first woman in Italy to hold the role of Prime Minister, an important achievement not only for Giorgia Meloni , which broke the famous glass ceiling, but for your entire genre. Well, I, who don’t pretend to be right, believe that Meloni is hated partly out of envy, because she has succeeded in what no one before her has managed, partly because recognizing the results and the ability to Meloni as a woman and as a politician and statesman necessarily implies slipping into some contradiction and some short circuit. Which? First of all, the rhetoric on patriarchy should be demolished, given that, if patriarchy existed in Italy, ladies would be prohibited from carrying out leading roles and tasks both within and outside of institutions. Therefore, the male could no longer be indicted, blamed, accused of any type of atrocity, such as that of preventing women from progressing. Secondly, the narrative, dear to the left, of the existence of an alleged fascist danger, also characterized by sexism and embodied by Meloni himself, would disappear. How could such an emancipated woman be against gender emancipation and equality? Therefore, we must insist, rage against the one who, by never espousing progressive victimism, has marked a historic step forward for all of you and has done so without a father, anything other than patriarchy, and without a husband behind her. That is, without useless patronage, useless because it was she, Meloni, who made it useless, convincing girls like you to have faith in themselves and to pursue their goals with strength, tenacity and firmness, coherence and respect towards others.
Giorgia is the bearer not only of the values of the conservative and moderate right but also of these values here, freedom above all.
And I am happy to learn, reading your letter, that there are young people who, rather than being inspired by influencers or top models, dream of reaching where Giorgia has reached, of conquering and achieving what she, our first, even only one, has achieved. but not least, female prime minister.
