Women and Power in 2007

I woke up this morning wondering, why oh why we have a man doing a woman's job. No, the real question is, why don't we have a woman doing Jorge Pavez' job...?

On december of 2006 he appeared on tv saying he was so glad that after 28 years the goverment finally acepted paying the teachers more for having a professional degree.

Wait a minute

28 years?

Men are not meant for dialogue, they were born for action - with one or two exceptions, of course - and wars, and...watching football matches while we cook!

When it comes to arguments, we are the best. We know how to get things done fast and nice, how to get rid of the bitch next door if we don't like her, how to manipulate things in our favour, how to fight dirty in high heels and still look gorgeous!

So we have this Jorge guy who resembles Homer Simpson ,with just a little more hair, trying to convince the goverment to give us more money. If I worked on the goverment I wouldn't give him a shit! If I were Jorge Pavez I would ask my *WIFE* how to get us a good deal. No, even better, I would put my WIFE to do my JOB and I bet she would get us decent salary once for all. If we continue like this, next time we recieve money we'll see Comet Halley up in the sky and maybe one or two flying saucers...who knows. Damn you Mr.Pavez.

Now that we are talking about *looks* I'd like to say something, Chilean *female* teachers dress like hell. No, really, they trully dress like hell.
With their long skirts/pants, the awful make up, the ridiculous piggy tails, the same jacket and shoes they use every day, Blah!. What the hell is going on?! Is it because of the bad salaries?, (Uh oh, Mr. Pavez you again?).

No, I know that we have bad salaries but not as bad as to dress like a scarecrow 24/7.

I remember when I did my professional practice, my students *awww memories* used to love all the clothes I wore, and my shoes, and my boots, because YES! I used to change my shoes and clothes all the time! OMG THE HERECY!.

The fossilised female teachers should understand that looking great is also a way of showing our students it's cool to be a teacher. That is cool to help forming people, and that we are as important as any other professional.

Wearing nice clothes also shows love for the role of the teacher, and I don't give a damn if I sound like miss *Plastic* Hilton. If you look great, the girls will want to be like you, and the boys will er...want to be with you (in the platonic sence of course), the parents will respect you for they'll realise a TEACHER is teaching their kids, *not* a beggar.

So teachers of Chile, lets change Homer Simpson for CEO Barbie and lets get things moving, or prepare yourself for misery, 20 years of bad taste and disgusting piggy tails.

But what do I now, after all I'm mad.
