Pink Chemical shocked the stage of the Festival of Sanremo 2023 con the kiss he gave to Fedez. The politics arose, threatening to change the top management Rai, but no one (except the public via social media) focused on a more serious problem: Was the kiss consensual?
We don't know if it really is one skit organized, but what we have seen is a Fedez rather puzzled who suddenly received a kiss from an artist who suddenly took his face. Yes, subsequently Fedez played along and did not reject the singer with disdain. But if Fedez had been a woman?
We are constantly talking about consent, the cases of MeToo they have depopulated, rightly, all over the world. Yet, when it comes to a possible abuse suffered by a man, the story changes dramatically and everything becomes simply "a game". We do not exclude that it may have actually been an act goliardic and that Fedez have none resentful, but we can't help but report the opinion of users and many influencers who have asked themselves this question.
The only thing that should make us think about that #kiss much criticized is the fundamental question of “consensus”. Whether it's a man or a woman, the #consensus is critical. #RosaChemical #Fedez # Sanremo2023

Machismo still exists, but it is not feminist
Talking about feminism activism is not done just to protect women, to allow them to be on a par with men, but also of the latter which finally can be free by many stereotypes imposed by a past society.
If in Fedez's place there had been a woman, probably today everyone would have talked about complaints and violence. Men, as such, on the other hand cannot obviously be hurt by such gestures since they do not fall within "the fairer sex". And here, therefore, we speak again of discrimination against women, but indirectly also against men.
