The Expresso da Manhã program featured a conversation between Paulo Baldaia and journalist Margarida Nogueira about the fight of women who want to be recognized as pauliteiras. The journalist wrote about this topic in Expresso magazine.
The title "War of the sexes" reflects the existing conflict surrounding female participation in this traditional Trás-os-Montes dance. Women who want to see themselves as pauliteiras encounter various resistances within this tradition.
According to the conversation, there are also supports in favor of including women in this cultural activity. However, the article ends incompletely, without it being possible to understand exactly what those supports are or the outcome of the debate.
