[EN] “She needs to work on her image, and performance. Her lips were way too red, as if this was a joke.”- Portugal's far-right presidential candidate addressing his opponent, @mmatias_ 👇
The man who attacked Marisa Matias publicly denounces migrants, women, LGBTIQ* and socialism. As well as himself, his far right supporters make their bargain from social and economical inequalities👇
They want to win the hearts of people who suffer from these inequalities by creating enemies who they falsely make responsable for their sufferings.
They despise women or men who by their looks and actions question dominant manliness👇
Union, solidarity and equality are a threat to them.
Progressive political movements fighting for social justice, gender equality, and the end of capitalism become enemies👇
He also to divide women.
Red lipstick is commonly associated to the femme-fatale: Feminine as well as powerful and ingenious, she altogether fascinates and scares men.
To “ordinary” women the femme-fatale is a competitor👇
Red lipstick can be turned into a symbol of women’s emancipation - a symbol of fight against those who try to divide us.
A fight against gender stereotypes!

Ils méprisent les femmes et les hommes qui, en raison de leur apparence et de leur comportement, remettent en question la masculinité dominante.
L'unité, la solidarité et l'égalité constituent une menace pour eux👇
