Many public women continue to have to justify themselves for leading a life that does not obey traditional stereotypes.
In an interview with the magazine InStyle, the American actress Jennifer Aniston rejected the machista arguments that unfold some mass media. He put them in view, returning the aggressions with a little bit of sense and topicality. Are not those demands of the last century?
In the interview, published on Wednesday, one of the protagonists of Friends criticized the false information of the press. They say: that he can not keep any man next to him, and that he does not want to have children because he is selfish and only thinks about his career. "First of all, with all due respect, I do not have a broken heart, and second, this is imprudent speculation," he said.
Aniston separated early this year from actor Justin Theroux after two and a half years of marriage. "No one thinks that this issue can be sensitive for me and my partner, they do not know the medical and emotional process that I have gone through," he lamented.
"There is a pressure on women to be mothers ... Perhaps my purpose on this planet is not to procreate, there may be other things I want to do," he added. Would you say the same about a man? What is "an egoist" for not wanting to have children?
Last year, for example, Life & Style magazine released a super sensationalist cover in which it asks: "Why is it never going to be a mom?" The media speculated on hormonal treatments, unsuccessful inseminations and a supposed rent of the womb, without this being confirmed by the actress herself. On the contrary, he always stressed that a baby would not be the synonym of realization for her. Could it be that stereotypes weigh heavily? Can not bear the idea that a woman renounces this role in life?
"Most of the time I can take the ridiculous headlines with humor because they are becoming more absurd," he said. They seem to "satisfy a kind of public need, but I concentrate on my work, my friends, my animals and how to make the world a better place," he concluded.
