El Estado mexicano tiene una deuda enorme con las mujeres.
En abril del 2010, jueces de Chihuahua liberaron al feminicida de Rubí Frayre, hija de Marisela Escobedo.
Ocho meses después, Marisela fue asesinada frente al Palacio de Gobierno.
No las olvidamos.

Soon we’ll have a whole generation of grandfathers who can’t change a diaper, cook a meal, or name their own medications without help, but nobody writes think-pieces about their failure to whittle, hunt, or die heroically in wars they never fought.
“Skills” only become sacred when women stop performing unpaid nostalgia. Knitting and baking were never genetic gifts. They were survival labor assigned to women who weren’t allowed choices, money, or autonomy. Tattoos, fillers, and breast implants are evidence of something far more unsettling to critics - women spending time, money, and agency on themselves rather than servicing tradition.
Also, plenty of tattooed women bake. Plenty of soft-lipped women knit. Plenty of grandmothers will do neither and still be wise, warm, capable, and loved. Domestic skills don’t define moral worth. Bodies decorated by choice aren’t cultural failures.
What’s actually driving the panic isn’t concern for grandmothers. It’s grief over losing a version of womanhood that existed to be useful, modest, and quietly grateful.
That world is gone. And the sky, tragically for some, did not fall. Cope.
