Vérino became aware of the inequalities between women and men when he realized that his relationship as a couple was more the exception than the norm.
"I have not lived times when I have been able to take advantage of my side as a dominant male, because I have always been in an equal relationship with the person with whom I live", explains. he.
"The moment I realized that in the rest of the world it wasn't, it shocked me."
A role of ally in other causes
Without trying to pass himself off as a model feminist or to speak for women, Vérino would like more men to join them in their fight and carry their message.
"If it is only the dominated who speaks, some have the impression that it is plaintive", he observes.
"When it is the dominant who speaks up and who says that there is a problem and that as men we are really too well placed, we are more listened to."
An ally strategy that he extends to other areas.
"I think it's super important that the dominant get involved and speak up. The same questions arise in racism, disability or other forms of discrimination," he recalls.
