1. "Why do we swear at men and women differently" by Valeska Zanello
Curses, the more offensive they are considered, the more they end up being guardians of certain taboos. They are prejudices that become invisible by force of habit.
Bad words are terms that are part of everyday speech, but they, like other words, carry meaning with them. Valeska conducted research on the worst insults and best compliments that can be attributed to women and men. The results it brings are a great incentive to rethink the way we use name calling, without reinforcing prejudice and stereotypes of beauty and behavior.

2. "Royal Motherhood", by Helen Ramos
"Is it important to dismantle motherhood so that a woman, at a job interview, can be honest and say she wants to have a child sometime, and yet she gets that job?"
Helen, owner of the HelMother channel, tells her story as a solo mom and her relationship to the society in which we live. Walking through the various meanings of being a mother, she demonstrates another side of motherhood and complexifies this relationship that is no longer that simple.
3. "Should We All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Adichie
"The problem with the sexes is that it determines how we should be rather than recognizing who we are."
