How to Tame a Wild Tongue

In the article “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” while reading the article I could connect with the author over everything because I’m a Latina and I understand what she is saying. So it was difficult for me to choose a quote to connect, but I have two quotes that I would like to talk about.

“Hocicona, repelona, chismosa, having a big mouth, questioning, carrying tales are all signs of being mal criada. In my culture they are all words that are derogatory if applied to women— I’ve never heard them applied to men.”

When I first read this qoute, I started agreeing with the author because it’s true what she’s saying. The women have a different role in the culture because for the male they can go out and have a girlfriend or even do things that women aren’t allowed. For the women they can’t go out, can’t have a boyfriend until 18 above, they are limited to do things because when they do something the ordinary they are considered mal criada. For example something that was the ordinary was when I started going out in the afternoon because I play volleyball from 7:15 pm through 11:30pm. At first my parents made a fuss about it but they realized that they can’t stop me what I enjoy to do. But for my family from my mother side would always comment that it’s not okay of me being out late, especially since I’m a women and what would other people thought about me. It upset me because I’m being proactive and it seems something “bad” for the other people because of my gender, if it was a man who was staying up late it’s okay for them but not a women. Women and man don’t have the same equality or they get criticized fast for their actions.

“ Pocho, cultural traitor, you’re speaking the oppressor’s language by speaking English, you’re ruining the Spanish language.”

The first time I ever heard the word Pocho was recently when I was Juarez visiting my step sister. I started talking with her in Spanish and then I used some words in English to finished my sentenced. She told me that I was those kind of people a Pocho, I asked what it meant because I never heard it before. She said speaking Spanish and English combine and yes I combine the both language because sometimes I couldn’t say a word in a language so I would say it the other language so the person who was with me they would understand what I was saying. But now reading that it’s cultural traitor, those two words kept bugging me the whole day because I don’t want to be a cultural traitor.

What Gloria Anzaldûa is trying to say about her relationship to identity and culture that the language she speaks it’s what identify herself. There is so many different ways that people speak Spanish but it’s the same thing. The language and the culture it’s what makes the people feel like home and it creates environment for the people.

SOY LATINA

En el tiempo de antes, el termino de raza se se consolidó gracias situaciones como la esclavitud impuesta por Europa hacia América y África. Al llegar a mi tierra los europeos pensaron que al ser nativos americanos éramos seres inferiores, no descendientes, casi animales sin alma y por lo tanto asumían que no éramos humanos (Curiel, 2014).

Una mujer una vez dijo “La población indígena ha sido considerada no sujeto, y al ser excluida de toda humanidad nuestros cuerpos, nuestras culturas, se asumían podían ser manipulados, medidos, domados, controlados, explotados por la razón instrumental” (Curiel, 2014). Y la verdad sí es así.

De esta manera es como sé que mis antepasados se sentían, indefensos reprimidos. Sin embargo, hoy en día no nos damos  cuenta que nosotros mismos nos excluimos y nos autodenominamos inferiores. 

La Imagen

Una mujer, indígena, desprotegida, sola, indefensa. Tirada en el suelo, y sin querer levantarse se siente impotente por que no puede defender a los suyos y ni siquiera a sí misma. Bañada por la intensa luz de la luna, luna azul, que siempre ha sido representada por la sensualidad y feminidad de la mujer. Incapaz de mirar hacia el frente porque sabe en el fondo de su ser que la autoridad no le pertenece, que no hace parte de lo que llaman lo mejor, del “estereotipo”. Que no encaja en la sociedad simplemente por que la sociedad misma la excluye a ella, por que sabe que cualquier movimiento el falso tendrá una correspondencia.

Al ser latina entiendo la innata necesidad de excluir y ser excluida, porque para poder ser lo que soy es necesario encerrar al otro y separarme de él.

Apologize for what?

It always baffles me how the oppressor expects the oppressed to apologize. “I oppress you but you are wrong”. Okay. Great. You make fun of my language, my people, and want me to apologize for, what? I’m sorry because I felt uncomfortable? I’m sorry because I felt targeted? Foreign? Like an outsider? Dehumanized? I apologize to myself for putting up with this.
