Thank you for sharing so personally all of this with me. This is exactly the kind of reflection that I was hoping for, but also I’m aware that all of this can be painful and so please make sure to practice self-care and to let me know if you need support at any point. I hope it will not be innappropriate to say that I find that you have a very healthy mix of empathy, self-reflection, and anger in your posts. It is interesting to see the ways in which the material speaks to you personally and frankly quite inspiring to see some of your responses. In terms of the film Zona sur that you comment on, it is understandable that you would be confused, the issue here is that there are contradictions in Bolivian society. Does the privilege of being a man, even Aymara working as domestic service, trump the power of being a white-mestizo woman, for example in the scene which is almost of domestic abuse? Does Wilson use the mother’s creams and shower as a way of getting access to privilege that he is denied despite living in the house? Is he feminised in some way, precisely because of his position within the house in part? They are complex questions but I think the film in general is fairly sensitive in their treatment of them (but I’m happy to hear from you if you disagree). I’ll just say again that I’ve written on this and happy to share it with you if you would like to read more on the film. Please keep sharing and do not feel that what you have shared so far is in any way inappropriate, it is not!
