The Paysandú Police Headquarters promoted an activity to “discover the goddesses inside you” within the framework of the activities for Women’s Day, informed the activist Marina Morelli and confirmed to The Observer the police chief of the department, Eduar Álvez. As a result of the answers that the officials offered to the questionnaire, they would obtain the result of which “goddess” they correspond to.
“It was a talk to the women, personnel from the battalion, from the Prefecture were invited, the deputy (Cecilia) Bottino from the Broad Front came, several councilors from the department were there, a magistrate, prosecutors, local hospital staff…”, Alvez maintained. Bottino expressed himself in her account of Twitter in this regard: “I did not get the form. I attended for a while and the synthesis was: you are Aphrodite if you are a feminist and ‘go to the march’. The worst thing is that with the three that I heard they were ‘virgins’. July Zabaleta came back , I beg you!!!”.

The police chief stated that the questionnaire was formulated by the social psychologist Carla Manrique, whom he knew from the Canelones police station. It was “within the framework of doing a different activity for March 8, it seemed to me that it was necessary to support”. “I think that not all women should think in the same way, all women… If they fight so much for rights, what is the problem if they think differently? I do not see the problem“, he added.
Asked if other edges of the subject were touched on or the feminist march that took place in the department was mentioned, he replied: “No, they spoke on time of ‘the goddesses that we carry within'”. It was a talk “among women, by and for women”, in which he did not participate, he clarified.
The first question aims to identify what is the most important for each woman and the options are: “TO. Marriage, being successful in my life as a couple”, “B. Having children”, “C. Love and passion”, “D. My job, professional success”.
while number 4 warns about sexual life. The options were: “A. In the search for mutual pleasure. Each one gives and receives reciprocally. B. I make love to be pregnant. Sex attracts me little, I prefer tenderness. C. Easily aroused. I really like making love, intensely. D. Slow to start up. My thoughts take up all the space.”
