Her body was mutilated, but with the spirit of the goddesses her YPJ sisters will avenge her - The Region: But when did this dialogue amongst men begin? When the first man felt entitled to his bounty, he was glancing at prey. “She is beautiful, man!”, denoted that which ought to be hunted, a “fat” source of nutrition. We can imagine the scenario as thus: one hunter tells his fellow hunter that “This game is worth hunting, she is beautiful and fat.” The other would reply “Yes, and there is another one!” The competition amongst men would begin, each hunter would brag about their strength, and each one would demonstrate it by making their prey submit. A dialogue short in words but deep in historical content, this is the origin of the dialogue amongst men. It wasn’t, however, until the establishment of patriarchy that the prey would become the other half of society, the very source of life itself, the woman.
