Me dibujaron así: Por qué el mundo odia la feminidad
From a very young age, Noemí López Trujillo learned that hyperfemininity was synonymous with frivolity, evil, or threat. Me dibujaron así is part of that early suspicion, serving to articulate a direct defense of everything that has been considered “too feminine” and, therefore, superficial or perverse. From Pamela Anderson and Britney Spears to Jessica Rabbit or La Veneno, the author revisits punished cultural icons and rereads them as figures of resistance, desire, and excess.
The book intertwines these pop images with her own story: a childhood as a Jehovah’s Witness, a turbulent adolescence, and motherhood shaped by expectations about what it means to be “a good mother.” Alongside media references appear biblical figures like Jezebel and Salome, harpies, sirens, and other “monstrous” women that tradition has constructed as warnings against dangerously seductive women. The result is a lucid and unapologetic defense of the femme in all its forms.
Halfway between cultural essay and autobiographical narrative, Me dibujaron así. Por qué el mundo odia la feminidad dismantles discourses that reduce femininity to submission and docility. In a context where there is endless theorizing about “new masculinities,” this book shifts the focus and considers how rape culture is precisely sustained by hatred of the feminine. It is also a celebration of everything labeled as “girly,” from bimbos and transvestites to chonis, whores, or gypsies, reclaiming femininity as a political identity, pleasure, and battleground.
