The sexist and obsolete phrases of Raffaele Morelli
Yesterday, some controversial phrases uttered by the psychiatrist Raffaele Morelli caused quite a stir yesterday. The professor spoke during "No Stop News", an information program broadcast by the radio station RTL, in defense of the aphorism of the day, the subject of great controversy.
A distorted view of women
The unfortunate choice fell on a sentence by the French writer Françoise Sagan who recites the exact words "A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to want to take it off". Basically an incitement to rape. At this point, after the people of the web have predictably risen, judging the aphorism of vulgar and exaggerated sexism, Dr. Morelli has seen fit to increase the dose and throw more meat on the fire.
"If a woman leaves the house and men do not put their eyes on her, she must worry because it means that her feminine is not in the foreground". Knock, knock, it's 2020, Mr. Morelli, open and go back to the present. On the other hand, it is evident that this great gentleman remained still and immobile some geological era ago. The reality, in fact, is very different from how he tells it. Women cannot bear the intrusive gazes of unknown men who stare at them like a fasting lion would look at a gazelle for days, just as they do not tolerate, indeed fear vulgar appreciations shouted on the side of the road, ignoble horns and unwanted whistles. Morelli, on the other hand, is convinced of the opposite. He is convinced that a woman lives in function of a male recognition. Certainly that she makes herself beautiful not for herself, but for others, mainly men.

What matters is only and exclusively femininity
"You can be a lawyer or a magistrate and get all the success you want, but the feminine in a woman is the basis on which the process takes place. The feminine is the place that arouses desire. Women know this well, because if the woman does not feel comfortable in a dress, she goes back to the house to change it. The woman is the queen of the form. The woman arouses desire, woe if it were not so ”.
In practice, wanting to interpret the words of the professor, no matter how much a woman can be achieved, how many goals she has been able to achieve with her own strength and determination, what matters, in the end, is only her own. femininity. Apart from this, a woman has no sense of existing, as she reiterates again during another radio program, in which she was invited to explain and find a justification - if there is a justification - for these words.
The confrontation-clash with Michela Murgia
Michela Murgia, writer, radio speaker and convinced feminist, cornered Morelli, asking for clarification on what was previously stated, but the doctor seems anything but persuaded to review his positions and the confrontation soon turns into a clash. Man comes to affirm nonsense such as: "If the feminine is suffocated, a woman loses the possibility of realizing her identity" and that in order to maintain this femininity, girls have to play with dolls. To the disputes of the Murgia, Morelli does not find sensible answers and it is at this point that he attacks the presenter to the sound of "Shut up, shut up and listen", finally opting to close the phone in her face, beating in retreat with his tail between his legs.
I would say that this epilogue alone is enough to silence the nonsense of certain outings and to realize what this individual is made of. A fabric I would say, almost certainly, synthetic.
