On gender, diversity, and feminism
By Veronica Fantini
Imagine for one second that you are the mother of a son. If you already have one, think of your own. Your lovely boy. You raise him with all the love and affection you could possibly give him. You teach him to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. You love him, and he loves you. But he also loves another woman. Yet you believe she is not the right fit for him.

‘Conversations with People I Love’ emerged as an idea, a proposition to use active listening as a method of feminist reflection and analysis. In times in which everything seems to be fast-paced, in which scrolling through 6-second-long videos is enough to keep us entertained and information is one click away, listening has become one of the hardest skills to master. Through this series of columns, my objective is to come to terms with my listening skills as part of my daily feminist practices and activism.
