Post: Sexism shown in a fiction character that i love

Sexism in "The Flintstones"

I remember that I saw “The Flintstones” for the first time when I was a girl, before I went to the elementary school.

My favorite character was Dino, the family pet, but I also liked Vilma Picapiedra, her family was economically stable, and she married without they permission, only for love. She is a nice woman, wife and a good mother, but I think that Vilma is much more important than the program shows, since is intelligent and responsible of make mature decisions in the house.

However, still they describe her how a housewife that she main interests shopping trips and that keep long conversations with her best friend Betty, only for listen to the gossip and wait the time she come back cooking. The worse is that Vilma holds this think, when she talks with her friends and as explain to daughter about proper behavior.

This is complicate, because most the girls saw this cartoon and we normalized these practices that now appears to be inadequate and denigrating, for example, when Pedro called "useless" to Vilma or "the place and role of woman is the house".

Post 5: The Story of a Picture

A good place

In this photo I am with my cousins, it was a weekend where in conjunction with family, we went camping to Cajón del Maipo, a place named “Termas Valle de Colina”.

After arriving and wandering all over the place, we finally decided with my uncles go to explore the hills. There we take multiple photos and they counted us stories and jokes.

when we came back to camp, we went through a wooden bridge and my uncle asked us to sit because he want took a pics. So, although we looked tired, I with my cousins we sat and my uncle tried take a good photo but resulted in images coming out shaky and others bad taken, although also we got one pic of my taste.

This was the first time in a long time that we did come out everyone one weekend, so it was important for me, i feel that we join more, after one year complicated.

Post 4: Childhood Series

31 minutos

When I was a girl, I various watched program on T.V like “Diego y Glot”, “Dragon Ball”, “Pinky y Cerebro”, “animaniacs” and many more.

When I was 9 years old, approx. I did begin to see “31 minutos” and I liked it a lot, it´s about a newscast where show reports, news, music and rankings, but entertaining manner to kids and where the protagonist were puppets.

I remember that I learned them by heart the songs, for example: “mi muñeca me habló”, “señora devuelvame el balon” and “mi equilibrio espiritual”. Sometimes too I betted with my cousin in the ranking of music and the prize was a candy.

My favorite characters were Juan Carlos Bodoque and Juanín, because they were very funny and reports of Bodoque were interesting, I learned a lot about the Araucaria, stray dog and desert of Atacama.

Post 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

The Cell Phone 

Cell phone is an object that can make calls, listen to music or radio, web surfing, take pictures, etc. I got the firs phone in Christmas when I had 13 years old, since that date I knew the facilities that deliver. I did begin to use phone for social media, but now, I prefer to use in take pictures, read books and news, listen to music and watch videos.

I spend much time in the phone, there I receive mails, task, information and I can record interviews, it makes the work easier and I like this. In my spare time, I am distracted with videos and social media.

I think that if there was no cell phone, it would complicate of long-distance communication or difficult get certain information about rest of the world, but there are other options available, so I haven’t problem.
