Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day, a key date that goes beyond purple logos, as it’s one more opportunity to demand equality. Since LOS40, in addition to recalling the claim of some feminist songs and some of the slogans that advocate equality, we wanted a review of feminist milestones that have taken place in recent months.
From Miley Cyrus and Rihanna to Berta Vázquez and Sara Sálamo, they’ve all defied stereotypes and made it clear that they’re making their own rules. We leave you here what have been the feminist milestones of this 2023 and which have taught us a new way of claiming equality.
1. flowers by Miley Cyrus
If years ago we had already seen how Aitana and Ana War made us vibrate under the motto “I decide when, where and with whom” during the demonstration on March 8; or Rigoberta Bandini herself with her feminist anthem Oh mama, now it’s Miley Cyrus’ turn. His latest release flowersare an ode to women and empowermentsince it invites us to love ourselves without waiting for a partner to do so, a message that we often tend to forget.
2. Sara Sálamo puts her principles before what they will say
Actress Sara Sálamo has shown that fame is a vehicle that opens doors, because it serves to give voice to other people who do not have it. Whenever he had the opportunity, he denounced all these unjust and sexist behaviors that relegated the female figure to the background. There are countless “saraos” in which he was put to the test, but in which he showed that feminism is more than a purple tide. The last without going any further, had to see his last appearance at the Goya Awards, an event he attended with a clean face and claiming naturalness. A message that invited us to reflect in order to accept ourselves as we are and without resorting to filters.
3. Berta Vázquez responds to those who criticize her for her physical change
Social networks sometimes become a source of hatred, but other times they show us a fine example of solidarity and on this occasion, of fraternity, like few others. This has been the case of Berta Vázquez who has had to endure waves of criticism on her own skin about her physical change in recent years. However, during the Goya Awards celebration that took place a few weeks ago, the speech changed pleasantly as many followers congratulated her.
4. Rihanna and her Super Bowl empowerment
the interpreter of Diamonds It showed that a woman is capable of accomplishing anything. During her show at the Super Bowl, she clarified that there is no obstacle that stands between success and being a mother, the two can go hand in hand, without having to choose. Also, another of the messages he gave us on his show is that you don’t have to show the body to be successful. Rihanna conquered the Super Bowl stage wearing a red jumpsuit and sporting a belly, and yes, she looked spectacular! Moreover, being pregnant did not prevent her from putting on a show, even at high altitude.
5. The motto that Shakira and Karol G left us THQ
Another of the great feminist milestones that left us in music in 2023 is given to us by Shakira and Karol G, who reflect in their song THQ the emancipation of women after having experienced a breakup, inviting us to free ourselves from guilt.
