REPORT ABOUT WOMEN REINFORCES MYTH ABOUT "SEX PARADISE" IN SALVADOR
At march 31st 2002, the newspaper period from Bahia, A Tarde, published in its main book a report like so many others, the one that tries to keep desperately the "sex paradise" mythical image from the city of Salvador.
WITH
GIRLS LIKE THOSE, ALSO ARATACA CITY OFFERS -
"Beautiful and charming", according the A Tarde news
report, those girls at the picture above have so less beauty than
the periodic said, presenting, those girls, a suburbian look,
graceless pretty. Those girls are so disposable to love also in
cities with the major male population in Bahia, Arataca, placed
in the interior of this brazilian state.
Titled "Women are troubled for the lack of men" ("Mulheres reclamam da falta de homens"), the report, published in the section "Local", explored some clichés from this illuding marketing. First, the report "confirms" the very doubtful female hegemony in the capital of Bahia. Second, the report showed the bars and nightclubs as being "ideal places" to the lovelife search. And, in third, the report presented a girl group with less beauty, it means, not very attractive girls, in the report's picture.
The legend describes those girls - in a medium age of 21 years-old, age time not satisfying to comprove an authentic female hegemony, which requires an expressive contingent of single women with more than 30 years-old, the fact not watched in the Salvador reality - as "beautiful and charming", adjective not watched, in rigour, at the girls in the published picture. In true, they have the graceless beauty, not very attractive, typical from the suburbs in Brazil, and their beauty is very inferior than the Rede Globo's journalist Rosana Jatobá. To give a "scientific" accent to the report, beyond to describe the numbers of the "female hegemony (sic)", psychologists were interviewed.
The report also mention the interior city called Arataca, as the one with the most number of men in its population that, officially, the state of Bahia has. However, in cities like Arataca the situation is not so different than Salvador, the capital which, in praxis, is not the "sex paradise" so boasted by the tourism propaganda.
The one novelty observed is the population of Salvador, according to the brazilian Census 2000, reduced the different between women and men to the official proportion of "100 females to 89 males", although the tourism myth still preaches the "eight women to each one men" proportion (it means, "100 females to 12 males).
Is still doubtful the idea that Salvador is the city of Bahia with major male deficit (in true, the thesis is reverse, with big deficit of women, if not the major or near that), once that, between other things, the Census 2000 considered so much men (about 40% not credited in the sotheropolitan population) who live in Salvador as non-inhabitants of this city, taking into account the fact those men were born in the interior of Bahia. In the other side, a proportion esteemed in 10% of women whose hometown, attributed to Salvador, is really placed in the neighbour cities, like Lauro de Freitas, Camaçari and Simões Filho.
TRUE
BRUNETTE BEAUTY - The very beautiful brazilian
journalist Rosana Jatobá is a rare example of the seductive
brunette from Bahia. And do you know what it resulted? She went
out Salvador to live in São Paulo and work at the Rede Globo
there, reducing the so insufficient quantity of beautiful women
at the Salvador population.
In the following week, april 7th, other report was published showing the affective missing from the men, but not dismitifying the pretending female hegemony neither to discard the bars and nightclubs as supposed ideal places to the "searching of love". And, above all, without to mention the pretentious aspects (in special, for economic order) of the "love relactionship", principally in the part of women, because so much females are very exigent for the requisitions of partner's jobs, requiring men's "profesional experience" and "satisfying remuneration".
Curiously, the "Women are troubled for the lack of men" was published on a sunday, march 31st, an eve from the april 1st, the day traditionally associated to the lie practice. Maybe the newspaper A Tarde, running in front, even so without intention, predated and strenghtened all these lot of lies that Salvador, the capital of the famous "brazilian smartness" ("jeitinho brasileiro", in portuguese; sadly, a national passion), insists to keep this smartness for the richness of a few of privileged people. And who pays whit that is who wants to stand back this swindle, in this case the people who wants to make a love relactionship with seriousness, substance and without drunk tricks.
