Darío Villanueva es catedrático, ha sido director de la Academia, generalmente usa corbata, pero en los saraos de antaño era el primero en salir a bailar tras las conferencias sobre el buen uso de la lengua. Para escribir este libro, Morderse la lengua. Corrección política y posverdad (Espasa), también se ha quitado la corbata, y naturalmente no se ha mordido la lengua, como militante “contra la forma posmoderna de la censura que se llama corrección política”. Si te muerdes la lengua te envenenas. Pasa en su propio oficio. Un profesor español en Princeton le espetó a un estudiante: “¡A ver si te pones a estudiar y dejas de tocarte los cojones!”. Acto seguido, el muchacho acudió a la autoridad para denunciar de acoso sexual verbal al maestro, este fue expulsado por la rectora y tiempo después se suicidó el profesor. Se ha sabido que el maestro francés degollado por un fanático fue atacado a raíz de una mentira de una alumna mahometana que no estaba en clase, pero le contó a su padre que el maestro mostró “de manera ofensiva los famosos dibujos contra Mahoma”. El padre fue a un imán con la historia, “lo contó en las redes y, al tiempo, lo degollaron”. La corrección política, dice Villanueva, la ejercía antes un poder político o religioso… “Ahora es parte de una nebulosa de la sociedad, donde un grupo, una tendencia, un género se considera autoridad para imponer lo que se puede y lo que no se puede decir. El que no se atenga a esas normas no escritas tiene que atenerse a las consecuencias”.
Quevedo warned, as the academic collects before starting the book: I have not to shut up for more than with the finger / already touching his mouth or already the forehead, / silence warning or threatens fear."The perverse thing is that we live in democracy, we know how the censorship of the dictatorship and that of the Church were, it seemed that we were vaccinated against it and now we know that it is not so".In the field of feminism, in the eighties the word Woman, woman in English, “was already rejected because in his second part he says man ... From that ideology of gender non -identification you can no longer say mother but pregnant person;And in the case of the word woman itself it is more correct to say menstruable person ... a lady sent us a letter to the academy demanding that she retired from the dictionary the word mostly because she made her cry her eyes.And two people signed the same letter saying that the rational adjective must be removed because it is offensive against irrational beings ”.Enid Blyton is accused of sexist and racist.And Mark Twain is persecuted for having written the word Nigger ... Darío Villanueva himself threatened him for having glessed in his American university lessons the part in which, in Lazarillo, Lázaro's mother is loved with a blackChild exclaims: "Black, coconut!"And how do we fight this mantle of political correction?"Not accepting it, not biting our tongue.I am 70 years old, and I refuse to accept that I am of the elderly.I am old".
By the way, and finally Quevedo did not silence?"He was an intelligent man, Machiavellian reader, said that of‘ Between the carnation and the rose the majesty of him chooses ’and thus got him not to put him in the trana ... but they put him".And you, do you bite your tongue?"By modesty, or courtesy.Never by political correction ".
