En eso llega una compa\u00f1era <em>Insurgenta<\/em> y dice sin m\u00e1s: <em>\u201cva a haber partido de f\u00fatbol. Nos retaron a las mujeres\u201d<\/em>.

Dejen les digo que en ese cuartel las mujeres insurgentes doblan en n\u00famero a los varones insurgentes. Sobre esto hay dos versiones: la oficial es que la mayor parte de los insurgentes nos encontramos realizando trabajos de alta especializaci\u00f3n, donde s\u00f3lo los varones podemos desempe\u00f1arnos con garbo y gracia; la real es que de por s\u00ed son m\u00e1s las compa\u00f1eras que los compa\u00f1eros. Por supuesto que est\u00e1 prohibido publicar la versi\u00f3n real, por lo que se ha distribuido entre los Tercios Compas s\u00f3lo la versi\u00f3n oficial.<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de esa realidad, que era evidente a simple vista, a uno de los insurgentes se le ocurri\u00f3, al terminar el desayuno, decir: <em>\u201ccomo hoy es 8 de marzo, entonces los hombres retamos a las mujeres a un partido de f\u00fatbol\u201d<\/em>. El oficial al mando se dio cuenta casi inmediatamente del error, pero el mal estaba hecho. Una oficial del servicio de sanidad insurgente respondi\u00f3: <em>\u201cva pues\u201d<\/em>. Los varones se arremolinaron en torno al ingenuo del reto para reconvenirlo. Al conocer la raz\u00f3n de la desaz\u00f3n que cund\u00eda en las filas masculinas, el insurgente quiso aclarar: <em>\u201cpero equipos igual de jugadores\u201d<\/em>. \u201c<em>Ni madres<\/em>\u201d, dijeron las mujeres, \u201c<em>dijiste hombres retan a mujeres, as\u00ed que es todos los insurgentes contra todas las insurgentas<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El cielo empez\u00f3 a nublarse y un viento fuerte presagiaba una desgracia.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de la comida (el men\u00fa fue de licuado de tamales y caf\u00e9 con chile), pas\u00f3 una <em>insurgenta<\/em> a decirnos que ya iba a empezar el partido y que si \u00edbamos. El subcomandante insurgente Mois\u00e9s no pod\u00eda, pues ten\u00eda que revisar la lista de registrados para el festival. Yo me abstuve, intuyendo que no habr\u00eda ambiente propicio para la inequidad de g\u00e9nero. As\u00ed que no fuimos ninguno de los dos.<\/p>\n<p>Ya pardeaba el horizonte cuando regresaron.

Resultado: insurgentes-7, insurgentas- 3<\/em>\u201d. El Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s, vocero del ezetalene, a nombre de todos los hombres, mujeres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos zapatistas, exclam\u00f3: \u201c<em>\u00a1Ganamos los hombres!<\/em>\u201d.

Pero el horizonte distaba de ser claro.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1s noche, cuando brind\u00e1bamos con caf\u00e9 por la supremac\u00eda masculina, el Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s me explicaba: \u201c<em>Mira, lo que pasa es que de los hombres s\u00f3lo dos saben jugar bien f\u00fatbol y los dos estaban de guardia, entonces en el primer tiempo los insurgentes ten\u00edan dos menos y las insurgentas pues de por s\u00ed son m\u00e1s.

Place: EZLN Headquarters. Document obtained from the diary of someone calling himself \u201csupgaleano,\u201d thanks to the Trojan malware called \u201c<i>finders keepers, losers weepers<\/i>\u201d version 6.9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s and the present writer were here discussing the upcoming <i>CompArte<\/i> festival and how the Zapatista communities are organizing to participate. While we were talking a<i> compa\u00f1era insurgenta<\/i> came in and said simply: \u201c<i>there is going to be a soccer game. We women were challenged to a game<\/i>.\u201d I knew the motivation behind this, because it was not the first time that it had happened. Let me tell you that in this barracks, the insurgent women <i>[insurgentas<\/i>] outnumbered the insurgent men [<i>insurgentes<\/i>] two to one. To explain this difference in numbers, there are two different stories: the official version is that it is because the majority of the <i>insurgentes<\/i> are doing highly specialized work which only men can carry out with panache and grace; the real version is that there are in fact more <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> than <i>compa\u00f1eros<\/i>. Publishing the real version is of course prohibited, so only the official version has been distributed to the <i>Tercios Compas<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Despite this reality, obvious from a simple glance, it occurred to one of the <i>insurgentes<\/i> to say as he finished breakfast: \u201c<i>since today is March 8, we men challenge the women to a game of soccer<\/i>.\u201d The commanding officer realized the error almost immediately, but the deed had been done. A female official from the insurgent health service responded: \u201c<i>it\u2019s on<\/i>.\u201d The men crowded around the na\u00efve challenger to scold him. Realizing the reason for the frustration that was spreading through the masculine ranks, the <i>insurgente<\/i> tried to clarify, \u201c<i>but with an equal number of players on each team.\u201d \u201cNo way,\u201d <\/i>said the women, \u201c<i>you said that the men challenged the women, and so it is all of the <\/i>insurgentes <i>against all of the <\/i>insurgentas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Clouds began forming in the sky and a strong wind foreshadowed misfortune.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">After lunch (the menu was tamale shakes and coffee with chili pepper), an <i>insurgent<\/i>a came by to let us know that the game was about to start and asked if we were going. Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s couldn\u2019t go because he had to review the registration list for the festival. I abstained, intuiting that the environment would not be a propitious one for gender inequity. So neither of us went.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The horizon was already darkening when they returned. On earth and in the sky the storm is lady and mistress of everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The <i>insurgenta<\/i> arrived to report in. I asked her how the game had gone and she responded, \u201c<i>we tied<\/i>.\u201d \u201c<i>How many to how many<\/i>?\u201d I asked. \u201c<i>I don\u2019t remember<\/i>\u201d she said, \u201c<i>but we won a game and then we changed sides on the field and they won, so we tied: one each<\/i>.\u201d She said it with such self-confidence that she seemed like the president of the National Electoral Institute reporting the official results of any election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Something smelled fishy to me, and so I went to see the commanding officer and asked about the results: \u201cWe won 7 to 3\u201d he responded tersely. <i>\u201cBut the Health <\/i>insurgenta<i> said that you tied because they won one game and you all the other?<\/i>\u201d I asked. The official smiled and clarified: \u201c<i>no sup, we only played one game; what happened was that in the first half they were winning 3 to 2, and in the second half, after switching sides on the field, we made 5 goals. The result: <\/i>insurgentes<i> \u2013 7, <\/i>insurgentas<i> \u2013 3<\/i>.\u201d Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s, spokesperson of the eezeeelen, in the name of all of the Zapatista men, women, children and elders exclaimed: \u201c<i>We men won<\/i>!\u201d Another <i>insurgenta<\/i> who was walking by admonished \u201c<i>what is this about \u2018we men won,\u2019 ha! you two didn\u2019t even go<\/i>.\u201d \u201c<i>It doesn\u2019t matter<\/i>,\u201d said the official spokesperson of the eezeeelen, \u201c<i>we men won<\/i>.\u201d The storm appeared to diminish and the wind and water settled down. But the horizon was far from clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Later that night, when as we toasted masculine supremacy with our coffee, Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s explained to me: \u201c<i>Look, what happened is that among the men, only two of them really know how to play soccer and both of them were on guard duty, so in the first half the <\/i>insurgentes<i> were down two players and the <\/i>insurgentas<i>, well, there\u2019s already more of them. In the second half, those two guys finished their shift and they were incorporated into the game and well, the men won<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I asked if the <i>insurgentas<\/i> knew how to play soccer: \u201c<i>they do<\/i>,\u201d he said, \u201c<i>but they also have one player who is young and runs up and down the field and everywhere; she is the team\u2019s real strategist and tactician because when she gets tired of running she just yells, \u201cball, ball\u201d and all of the <\/i>insurgentas<i> run and surround the guy who has the ball and they all kick and since there is only one ball, well, a whole lot of kicks get the <\/i>compa\u00f1ero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">We raise our cold cups of coffee and toast the new triumph of gender even in adverse conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In the mountains, the wind and rain had already drunk of the nocturnal force. It was not yet morning when they subsided, with even more force if that is possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">But (there\u2019s always a \u201cbut\u201d), the next day at breakfast one of the men, with ill intentions, asked how the soccer game had gone, \u201c<i>We tied<\/i>,\u201d an <i>insurgenta<\/i> rushed to say before the little <i>machos<\/i> managed to respond, and she turned to the other women around her: <i>\u201cRight compa\u00f1eras?\u201d \u201cYeessss!<\/i>\u201d they all shouted and, well, since they are the majority, well\u2026anyway, the risks of democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">That is how the <i>insurgentas<\/i> converted a sports defeat into a triumph and won\u2026with a tie. Final score: <i>insurgentes<\/i> \u2013 1, <i>insurgentas<\/i> \u2013 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">But the <i>machos<\/i> didn\u2019t give up so quickly, they asked for a re-match. \u201c<i>Sure<\/i>\u201d said the <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> \u201c<i>but next year<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Desperate, the <i>insurgentes<\/i> looked to the person who best encapsulates the highest values of machismo-zapatismo, which is to say, me. They asked me when \u201cmen\u2019s day\u201d was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>What<\/i>?\u201d I asked them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>Yes<\/i>,\u201d they said, \u201c<i>if there is a woman\u2019s day, then there must also be a man\u2019s day<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>Ah<\/i>\u201d I agreed, understanding: \u201d<i>yes indeed there is one<\/i>.\u201d And I showed them what, with concise wisdom, one tiger had tweeted: \u201c<i>Men\u2019s day\u201d (when you celebrate the slavery of the woman to the work of rearing children) already exists. It is May 10.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I think that they didn\u2019t understand what you might call my sarcastic tone because they went away saying, \u201c<i>Ah, ok well then it\u2019s still a little while off<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Reading comprehension questions:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">1.-Is the health <i>insurgenta<\/i> who subverted the semantics in FIFA\u2019s rules a <i>feminazi<\/i>, a <i>lesboterrorist,<\/i> or someone who does away with the rules, destroying imposed [gender] roles and damaging masculine sensibility?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">2.- Is the person who summarized with such grace what happened on this fateful March 8, 2016, in a Zapatista barracks: heteropatriarchal, Eurocentric, species-ist, ableist, classist and etceterist, one more victim of the system (well look at that, it sounds like the name of a music group), or does he not celebrate May 10 because he lacks the above listed attributes?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">3.-As the women that we are, should we give a rematch to those damned men who, well, you know, you give them an inch and they want a mile?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> Send your responses to the concierge of the Little School.
