Let's start with the swearing and insults, to put any doubt to rest: sexism, patriarchy, macho culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, sex work, stereotypes, discrimination. No, not bad words, which is ugly for a girl or for a lady. Then take this: your amelias! Is it not written in capital? It even appears with an error sign and so on! But it is to become an insult. Suck it up! Now, far from swearing and insults, let's talk about the four women that appear here, four characters in search of life, which they do not have, because they are paper. Four non-existing women, each in her own way, who, while not existing, show more than what is to be a woman than any woman of flesh and blood. For this reason, because they are paper, because they are fictions, invented, without body, they say more about who was born with the "F" stamp than any woman would have the courage to say or to think about herself, where she came from and where she is going in life.
