Abstract: We refer to the “Flynn effect” in order to reflect about the characteristics of our current society, which has provided our community with mental structures to help us to be much more empathic today and sensitive to inequalities of all kinds. Further on we stop to analyse some cases such as those occurred in Hollywood, through the “Me too” movement, the historical success of 8-M, and a subsequent ruling on the so-called “the pack”, which have managed to show a “latent” voice that begins to raise what is happening and demands actions by our society on a legal, health and educational level. A phenomenon that has been extended through social networks, practically viral, in form of news, series, movies, music, etc. showing a before and after in relation to gender unprecedented.

Key words: present, time, social, networks, emotion, gender, inequality
