"Citar" in spanish bull fight jargon, as a verb, means to call the bull to come close the bull fighter. Nowadays in Spain women are taking the initiative. Like in bull fighting Fiesta, as the bull fighter/torero calls the bull after immediately the animal come into the place, the liberate woman takes the initiative in the "fight" of love. The man, surprised as never, take a moment to think about in a refuge and meanwhile he remember the women of the past. The destiny is guided by the arrows of the new "Diane hunter" woman and the songs of the sirens. There is no way out. As ever the only solution is to go out and fight. Carlos Pardo
