Madrid Me Mata

Que han rectificado? Muy mal, las familias atómicas de bien de todalavidadedios tienen las tareas repartidas: el macho cazar, la hembra cuidar a la prole.

sorry to write in english. This may seem very sexist, but in fact it is socially very advanced. Traditionally, benefit cards were only given to the fathers, the only ones seen fit to handle money. When in Britain in the late ’60s they started writing the checks to the mothers, children’s welfare improved. Before then, the fathers would drink up the benefits.

Perhaps with the money being on a card and the card only being useable in specific venues, the becas could not be abused. But as a social commentary, it can be read both ways.
