A vacation notebook to review your feminism this summer!

Calculation exercises, tests, games, comics ... The Sorocité association has designed a feminist vacation notebook, where the seriousness of the themes addressed is not


"Not at all approved by the National Education because in inclusive writing".

It is the ironic vignette that stamps the feminist vacation notebook of the Sorocité association, scratching in the process the Minister of National Education who officially banned this use at school.

At a time when thousands of parents scour the shelves of bookstores to buy their children this summer essential, there is a notebook that does not offer to revise its mathematics but its feminism.

Although… the two are not mutually exclusive.

An example ?

“Nicolas and Juliette are a couple with two children.

Nicolas works full time and Juliette part time, 20 hours a week.

Knowing that a year has 52 weeks, and taking the national average, how many more hours, at the end of the year, will Juliette have worked on unpaid household tasks compared to Nicolas?

".

And there you have it, casually, a little exercise to raise awareness of the free work of women.

Before delving into this calculation, a text recalls the main figures of professional working time and that of domestic tasks according to gender.

Spoiler: the answer is 832 hours, that is to say 34.66 days of free work more for Juliette compared to Nicolas…

"Popularize these basic questions with a touch of humor"

And since you are in legs, you can continue with another calculation. The latter concerns the difference in amount between Jeanine's and Bernard's baskets after the purchase of consumer products and services (shampoo, shower gel, bicycle helmet, haircut at the hairdresser, etc.). Be careful, a "pink tax" has crept into the prices of these "for women". The pink tax is indeed a marketing strategy that aims to sell a few cents more (or even a few euros) of commodities targeted for the fairer sex. We learn in particular that a shirt in the dry cleaners, depending on whether it belongs to the lady or the gentleman, costs 4.50 euros and 4 euros respectively.

No need for a "bac + 12 in feminism" to read it, ironically Elsa Pereira, co-founder of Sorocité, which distributes a newsletter every two weeks.

“The idea is to popularize these basic questions with a touch of humor.

This fun holiday notebook, with this paper format reminiscent of childhood, speaks to everyone.

The idea is really that we share it by the pool, ”she explains.

In order to bring Sorocité to life (“soro” for sorority and “city” for discussion space), four journalists and an artistic director who take in their free time “to give voice to all women”.

Articles, summer tests, games and even a Soroscope

This "choral spirit which is the DNA of Sorocité", adds the co-founder, also a journalist at Inrocks, appears in the vacation book through the file "What is femininity?" »With its multitude of testimonies. Also on the program, an article on yoga to reconnect with your body after a sexual assault or alleviate the stress of cancer, "far from the perfect postures that flood Instagram", a comic book on the "little story of the clitoris", good plans for a feminist tour of France (the house of George Sand in Nohant-Vic, the Camille Claudel museum in Nogent-sur-Seine…), an anti-patriarchal lexicon…

We don't forget the fundamentals either: the summer tests!

"Which serial heroine are you?"

"(Rather Peggy Olson from Mad Men or Maeve Wiley from Sex Education?) Or" What macho said?

(Example: "A ministry for the status of women? Why not a knitting secretariat" *).

Reading tips, games such as crossword puzzles or even coloring for children “in the manner of Niki de Saint Phalle”, the artist and feminist activist who created the gigantic and colorful “Nanas”, are also available. menu, as well as a hilarious Soroscope.

Offered in pre-sale, the holiday book aroused the interest of 477 donors and 650 booklets were sold… before the promotional campaign was blocked on the association's Instagram account.

“We couldn't do anything more.

The cover of the notebook was problematic, then Insta accused us of "a political organ" ... There is a censorship against feminism.

Difficult to publicize the vacation book under these conditions, but we have stock and we can reprint it if necessary, ”warns Elsa Pereira.

5% of the profits will be donated to the MaMaMa association, which offers mothers and families in difficulty solidarity packages for children from 0 to 3 years old.
