Hello man, or how to save manhood without losing tenderness (as Che Guevara said).
Dear Nunzia De Girolamo, Your program is back on Raiuno late tonight and crowds of Alfa men are beginning to worry. Considering that in Ferreri’s 1978 film of the same name, the protagonist Depardieu was raped by feminists, there may be some concern. Or not?
«Our society is also somewhat male-dominated and reactionary because of the high average age. The interesting thing is to see the difference between the generations in civil law issues. Therefore, in the new issue of Hello Male, I would like to include a comparison between sixty and thirty year olds. Who have very different points of view because society has changed thanks to women who have now imposed on men an attitude of complete equality both in childcare and in housekeeping and work. The world has changed because, despite tradition, children are raised by mothers like us with strong and independent characters and not like their grandmothers.”
I’m worried, sorry.
“But the “alpha male” syndrome no longer exists, you don’t necessarily have to be tough without insecurities. And referring to your quote from the Ferreri film, I didn’t name the program that way to take female revenge, just to say hello to the men I want to welcome and with whom I don’t seek competition».
What do you say to those who see an exaggerated feminization of the masculine in gender theory? Maybe supported in Rai protected band (but what happened)?
“Any form of exaggeration is wrong. With children one must adopt a liberal attitude, politely explaining the new frontiers of sexuality. The problem is always the parents, who are over the top in one way or another. And as a mother, I explained to my daughter Gea the fluidity that she happens to see in the protected area scenes you mentioned. The world has changed: today they use Tinder to advertise. You can’t stop them.”
You’re not making me a communist?
“Absolutely! I’ve always been like this: a Catholic who confides in God but fights for communities of life and believes in the Magisterium of Pope Francis. And that invites Drusilla and the drag queens onto the show. If you’re familiar with ‘gender theory “Of course, feeling that because of the gender you currently perceive, you can feel like a man one minute and a woman the next, well, not like that. It also devalues the sacrifice made by those who have struggled for years on the painful journey of gender reassignment “Let’s understand each other. I’m for gay couple adoption, not surrogacy; once a prejudice was broken, a new one was created.”
You’re one of the few who haven’t suffered from the “Alberto Castagna Effect”: once you jump into the conversation, you can never go back. Instead, you will continue to be hosted by Formigli. how do you explain it
«Because I basically remain a politician in the common thinking. And it’s natural for me to talk about politics, while it’s unnatural for me to dance on TV. Even though in truth I had the Dancing with the Stars experience precisely because I wanted to show that I could change my life, even though I knew I couldn’t go back. I took a risk, it went well ».
Didn’t you at least have fun dancing?
“To death. I felt the need to detox. I got my smile back, I increased my popularity, I made peace with my femininity. Francesco (Boccia, her husband ex-minister, Pd deputy, ed .) told me: “You must learn to wait: what you have done is already a miracle”».
By the way. You complained that you were initially ghettoized by the entertainment world. But if you’ve managed to rebuild your life, don’t you owe it to your husband and the cultural environment that spawns many left-wing salons?
‘But go. Marrying Francesco didn’t help me or him professionally. You know when I was sometimes told, “We can’t, you’re the minister’s wife”? But I had done the minister before him, and no one who had done him underlined “but you are the minister’s husband”».
What happened when you left politics, that is, for no apparent reason?
“I felt cheated when the party took me out. And in five years I have not received a single call from colleagues who have held top positions in my former party. Only Berlusconi called me and said he was sorry that “it shouldn’t have happened” but I never saw him. Never. Well, I wish he’d said those things to me and looked me in the eye. I had fallen into a big blind but I never give up ».
Forza Italia has suffered several losses, time flies for everyone…
“The party has changed fundamentally. Berlusconi has changed fundamentally, it will be a question of age, I don’t know. And he did everything in order not to leave an heir and to see the party die with him. And no one there could take the lead like Meloni could ».
Speaking of determined women. You have an employment law degree, a doctorate in business law, but you keep saying you wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. Why did you leave the “dream” there at the end?
“As a practitioner, I had a case of a grandfather who raped his granddaughter. I was disgusted, realizing I could never be a good defender.
Imagine you were a pd voter who isn’t bocce ball. Who would you vote for in the primary?
“If I were a Democratic Party voter, I would probably return the card…”.
