Sexism / Sexisme

Mon rapport envers le sexisme est négatif car il repose sur la supériorité des hommes. Les hommes discriminent souvent les femmes en diminuant leur dignité. Ils disent par exemple “tu conduis bien ta voiture, tout comme un homme !”. La femme au travail ou au foyer entend assez souvent “sois tranquille !” quand elle s’exprime avec passion. En même temps, on écoute les hommes avec attention et on les respecte. Les hommes se voient en droit d’enrager de jalousie ou d’imposer aux femmes un style de vêtements parce que c’est une manière de les contrôler. Très souvent, les hommes font “des compliments” humiliants aux femmes dans la rue. Parfois, les femmes sont considérées comme responsables de la violence perpétrée contre elles. Cela prouve l’insécurité physique des femmes. Tout cela est dégoûtant et choquant. J’espère que le mouvement féministe va régler ces défauts de la société.

mon rapport envers – my attitude toward

le sexisme repose sur – sexism is based on

diminuer – to decrease

sois tranquille! – be quiet!

s’exprimer – to speak out

se voir en droit – to feel entitled to

enrager de jalousie – to be enraged with jealousy

la violence perpétrée contre les femmes – violence against women

dégoûtant – disgusting

Women’s role in society

(Pensez–vous que la position de la femme est meilleure qu’avant?)

Il me semble que les femmes occupent une meilleure place dans la société que dans le passé. Grâce aux changements de la société et au mouvement féministe, la femme jouit de beaucoup de droits de nos jours. Les femmes ont le droit de voter, d’être propriétaires et de voyager seules. Elles participent à la vie industrielle, commerciale et culturelle. En plus, elles ont gagné le droit à salaire égal pour travail égal. Cela est normal. Pourtant, beaucoup de ces droits sont nouveaux et certains pays ne les reconnaissent pas. Dans beaucoup de pays, les femmes ne sont pas vraiment libres. Elles sont toujours soumises à leurs pères ou à leurs maris. Même l’éducation peut leur être refusée. Je trouve ça scandaleux. Il est important de parler à haute voix en faveur des femmes dont les droits ne sont pas respectés. Certains experts soutiennent que les femmes sont inégales aux hommes en ce qui concerne les salaires et la politique. À mon avis, on doit agir pour améliorer cette situation.

occuper une meilleure place – to have a better place

jouir de droits – to have rights

propriétaire – owner

le droit à salaire égal pour travail égal – right to equal salary (for same role)

être soumise à – to be under the authority of/to be dependent on

scandaleux – scandalous

à haute voix – loudly

soutenir – to maintain

l’inégalité salariale – salary inequality

Politics / Politique

(Vous intéressez-vous à la politique?)

• Oui, comme la plupart de mes amis et de mes proches, je m’intéresse à la politique. C’est un aspect très important de notre vie. On doit s’investir dans notre avenir. C’est à nous de le construire petit à petit. Je participe aux actions organisées par mes concitoyens pour changer les situations quand les droits sont violés ou quand les gens ont besoin d’améliorer leur conditions de vie ou de travail. Je crois que je pourrais défendre les intérêts des jeunes, des étudiants, des ouvriers et des retraités. Il s’agit non seulement de comprendre les situations personnelles mais aussi d’analyser les sujets d’actualité. Le monde d’aujourd’hui est plein d’injustice, de conflits entre les peuples et les religions et de divergences entre les riches et les pauvres. Je ne peux pas l’accepter tel qu’il est. J’aspire à un monde plus juste où l’humanité serait unie. J’étudie l’histoire depuis longtemps et j’espère prochainement obtenir des compétences juridiques et me rallier à un parti politique.

s’investir dans – to get involved in

C’est à nous de le construire – it is to be built by us

Je participe aux actions organisées par mes concitoyens – I take part in the initiatives organised by my fellow citizens

les droits sont violés – the rights are violated

avoir besoin d’améliorer leur conditions de vie – to need to improve their living conditions

les retraités – retired people

les sujets d’actualité – current issues

Le monde d’aujourd’hui est plein d’injustice – today’s world is full of injustice

où l’humanité serait unie – where humanity would be united

prochainement – soon

obtenir des compétences juridiques – to get knowledge of the law

rallier à un parti politique – to join a political party

• Non, je ne comprends pas trop la politique. C’est plein de problèmes socio-économiques compliqués que l’on doit analyser et j’ai du mal à comprendre qui a raison et qui a tort dans les débats politiques. Ce qui me confond le plus, c’est l’opinion d’un de mes amis. Il est sceptique et il se moque des gens qui manifestent dans les rues avec des pancartes, des affiches et des slogans. Je l’entends souvent dire que les manifestants sont des gens qui ne veulent pas travailler! La plupart de mes amis sont un peu nonchalants et lâches en ce qui concerne la politique. E moi, je n’ai pas d’opinion forte pour ou contre la politique.

comprendre qui a raison et qui a tort – to understand who is right and who is not

les débats politiques – political debates

confondre – to confuse

être sceptique – to be sceptical

se moquer – to mock

des gens qui manifestent dans les rues – people protesting in the streets

des pancartes – banners

des affiches – posters

les manifestants – protesters

avoir une opinion forte – to have a strong opinion

Olympics for french

So I have an answer on the benefits of the Olympics on normal people of Paris but I'm thinking I should a diary entry of like ' Hey I'm at the Olympics today I saw the running tomorrow I'm watching the gymnastics' something along those lines. And then I was think what if they ask you "The Olympics are happening in Paris this year what's your favourite sport ?" So i should write something about my favourite sport. As you can see I am really overthinking this but I'd love to hear what everyone else is doing.
