Prejudice & Stereotypes

Is a statement of purpose a necessary condition for starting a blog? I do not think so.

For the last 4 days I have been sick. Generally speaking I am sick of many things but my point being is that I am ill in bed prescribing to myself antibiotics. This is quite unfortunate since I was looking forward to write something that it has been on my mind for a couple of months now. As always, all my new endeavours have a bright starting point.

But I have a back-up plan. I decided that I should contribute somehow to fighting stereotypes in contemporary societies. Yiayia will help me do that. Yiayia is the Greek word for grandmother. In Greek society yiayia is not just another member of the family but rather a particularly dominant and influential figure. So, here we go.

This is yiayia discussing fashion






A progressive view on parenting and sex/gender equality issues:




Last video is about the hidden implications of non-marital relationships




Not exactly a free spirit, eh?

Just for the record, i have no idea what Athenos is. Also hummus is not Greek food. Nor is popular in Greece. It originates from and is popular in the Middle East. That's al right. No hard feelings.
