Post 6: Sexism Shown in a Fiction Character that I Love

-
Today I will write about Tuca and Bertie, although rather of bertie. They are two pajaras, Tuca is a tucana and Bertie a thrush, and both are friends. If you have not seen this series yet, you should do it.
This series was created, written and produced by Lisa Hanawalt, who is one of the executive producers of BoJack Horseman. The main similarities to this animation is that they have a very similar aesthetic and the protagonists are animals. But the series I chose, has as protagonists two birds that represent thirty years and have daily problems in their modern lives.

Tuca is very outgoing, funny and crazy, she fills the story with adventures. Berty cares a lot about everything, she is intelligent but also shy. The series shows very feminist scenes, but there is also a very complex moment.
In chapter eight there is a very ugly and sad situation, when Bertie does not support her partner of work, she felt intimidated by the boss. This scene is a real example of gender violence. Fortunately Bertie reacts, stops being an accomplice and helps her.

They are ten chapters of 26 minutes each, and although the beginning is somewhat slow each chapter becomes better!

I am person very indesicive. My dream jobs dream when I was a girl was are a dancer, singer, actress or anchorwoman. But I'm sure what communication was the best decision. At school I liked language, history and the visual arts. At that stage, I still did not know what to study, however, I hoped to become a professional at the university. My family in this was very important, they believed in me and supported me to achieve my goal. Paradoxically, my options were studying journalism or architecture. Currently I am a student of Journalism at the University of Chile, where I'm in fourth year. A fun and exhausting experiencie, full of knowledge, challenges and with the company of great friends. It is almost time for me to do my practice and I would like to do it in an ONG or institution. In the future, I would like to work on this, as a journalist in some organization and be able to contribute there from the communications.

I feel a lot of anger and sadness for gender violence. Historically women have been inferiorized, in different times and different countries but all women in some way suffer violence just because they are not men. Women are verbally battered, physically assaulted and even raped and all of this is naturalized in Sexist speeches. Sometimes they call the exaggerated feminists, but how will they not do it if women are abused daily? I think it is very important and necessary to make this visible when, at day June 07, 2019, 26 femicides in Chile . It is not normal for women to live in fear and to get used to the fact that when they leave their homes, they do not know if they will return well. I worry about thinking about all the women who are in toxic relationships, with manipulative men and potential victimizers. According to what I have read, femicides are only explained because men believe that they must kill their partners because they are women. And this is a social constructi...
