Sexual freedom: a “political issue”.

For this reason, the politician agreed to participate in a photo shoot at Stephanie Renoma’s studio in the 16th district and to give an interview to the media. A talk whose theme was “women’s freedom and feminism”. “I am one of those people who believe that women’s sexual freedom is a very important thing, no offense to other backward people, women should be able to do exactly what they want,” he assured. If they want to dress as a nun and never meet men, that’s their choice and they should be supported. If they want to be photographed naked in the magazine. “The issue of sexual freedom is a political issue for me.”

Fight against violence

The minister therefore emphasized the importance of women feeling empowered to “express what they want”. “If we deny women the right to talk about sexuality, we are not helping them to say, “This is what I like, this is what makes me happy.” Marlene Schiappa also talked about violence against women, which is likely to hurt. this freedom. “When you’re harassed in public by men who don’t let you pass, when men touch you without your consent, these behaviors interfere with your ability to blossom in your sexual life because you’re living on the basis of that trauma. which carries being. attacked, he continued. Therefore, this issue of protecting women from violence is fundamental.”

Violence that Marlene Schiappa says she lived through without dwelling on the subject. “I obviously and like many women experienced inappropriate behavior and even aggression or violence from men,” she began. I never wanted to tell it in detail, because it concerns only me and because I don’t want to sacrifice (…). My driving force is that the next generation can be protected.” And to support the politician? “For me, feminism is about finding intolerable for other people’s daughters what we find intolerable for our own daughters.”

Men’s place

The Secretary of State, however, defended the benefit of involving men in the fight for feminism without generalizations. “I have also been married for 20 years to the father of my daughters, with whom I am extremely close, I also have some of my best friends who are men,” she emphasized. Every day I rely a lot on my advisers, former advisers, friends, my brother and also the President of the Republic. I truly believe that most men are good guys, and that’s important to say, too. He also asserted that the “harshest criticism” he ever received came from women.

Before proceeding. “It’s a big responsibility that has been placed on men’s shoulders, this pressure to provide for everyone’s needs, without emotion, without crying, without showing any anxiety or weakness (…) And feminism usually also liberates men.” Marlene Schiappa, however, deplores the inequalities between women and men, especially in relation to power. “It remains a taboo for women,” he said. Men have the right to say that they are ambitious and want to exercise power. When we say that a woman is ambitious, it is always tainted with negative connotations.

Presidential destiny.

He also lamented that “some men who have never exercised the least ministerial responsibility” want him to “teach them about life and lessons in his political life, when they have not a third of his experience. to the government.” When asked about a potential presidential destiny, Marlene Schiappa, however, rejected this suggestion. “God forbid! I don’t want to be the head of the army, can you imagine what weighs on your shoulders? You have to decide whether to start wars or not… You have to be ready for it, you have to be ready for it.” and to give a soul, one must desire. And this is not my case (…) I value my family life and my personal activities, such as writing books.

Erotic literature: “Pride”

An author of erotic novels, he claims to be “proud” of this activity. “When I received the prize for political revelations, it was mentioned in the award ceremony that I had written erotic literature,” he recalled. As if it is a shame. But I’m proud of it.” The minister believed that this type of literature is “an excellent way to eliminate some taboos”. “For example, I wrote a book called Dare the female orgasm to say that women should not only be a subject of desire or no desire, but a desiring subject, he said. I think it is important that the general erotic imagination is not only written by men, so that we can also take advantage of the erotic imagination of women. And the minister added: “I believe that talking about topics like sexuality should not be reserved for men only. Women should be able to grab it too if they want to.
