chauvinistic Notes on Female Pigs Operation Jaque
were not a few women and then men around the world embraced the feminist cause, as this promised an end to the oppression of women and creating more equitable and inclusive societies, which put an end the patriarchal legacy of modern societies. Different and even opposing perspectives and interests were the first to third wave feminism, which went from cries like "do not give votes to blacks dénoslos white women", held by the first wave feminism in their struggle for right to vote of women, passing by famous phrases such as Marilyn French, according to which "all men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws and codes. "However, these radical positions, will step into positions much more measured and consistent as the third wave, without abandoning what was at the base, fighting to end the oppression of women, works against practices of discrimination and exclusion that includes not only women but also to immigrants, indigenous and sexual minorities. With all of the above it should be emphasized that despite difficulties and internal contradictions of feminism, there were many achievements. With the slogan "the personal is political," feminism contributed to issues that had traditionally been seen as private issues were resolved within the home, such as domestic violence or food absence, they became political issues that required state intervention. No less important was education and legislation that became sexual harassment as a tool for de-objectification of women as sexual objects and contributed in no small degree to which these might reach positions of power that had previously been reserved exclusively for men. But things slowly began to change. The daughters of women who had devoted his life to which women were more than a sexual object, which was on equal opportunities with men, now roaming the streets with sexually explicit sweatshirts with logos like "juicy" or "do you want to ride "to refute the struggle of the previous generation. As if the flags of the struggle for women's rights had not made its transition from the generation preceding the current one, as if everything had been in vain. However, this return to the masculinist values \u200b\u200bwas not led by men who refused to retrograde freedom and free expression of women's personality. Or by the need to return to a traditional society in which women were at home and had to "engage the children and husband." This time it was women, who in the name of independence and the liberation of women, decided to relocate to women as sexual objects, that is, using the achievements of feminism, language and ideals he dealt a major blow, not by feminism as an attachment showing contradictory or unnecessary, but to create conditions objective of his absence from the inside of the feminism. This phenomenon, which has led to changes and changed the perception of women particularly in recent years, by Ariel Levy is referred to as "raunch culture". According to Levy "raunch culture" is the rule that all empowered women must be overly sexualized in public, and the only sign of sexuality we seem able to recognize is a direct allusion to red light entertainment. In that sense, what Levy refers to as female chauvinist, it's just women who have left their femininity to adopt values \u200b\u200band perspectives traditionally associated as masculine, in this perspective, stripping is so valued to improve the situation of women, such as improving education and support to victims of rape. In that sense, the fact that women have agreed to instances of economic and political power does not mean that the situation of women has improved, however, these women who have agreed to these instances of power promote visions of the Women are sex objects, and progress in life, either by force of intellect or hips and a well laid breasts are equally valid, because what matters is not how it progresses, if sleeping with the board of the company or climbing into a permanent position shows the capacity and skills. It is not about moralism, everyone can do with her body what she pleases, but do it in the name of feminism is as it seems questionable at best.
However, what it is in fact questionable is that this vision young women make career and look at your body the only way to open doors long as they do the same with your legs.
is not that women have returned to openly forced to join the society defined patterns, it is that they should follow these patterns, but not from open taxation in the name of religion, or tradition, subjects makes women objects of male desire, but from a process underground an unconscious level that makes it look as positive and desirable sexual objectification of women. That is why some women began to enroll in strip dancing and then at the porn stars as role model, not only in how sex should be practiced to the point that the book, "like making love as a Porn Star "by Jenna Jameson, became the biggest seller in the United States for several weeks. However it is not only the approach to sexuality that was changing. Slowly, perhaps without anyone noticing, more and more women wanted to look like porn stars, not in the traditional image of bleached hair, breasts disproportionate and platform shoes of twelve inches, but through surgical operations which continue to subject women to their vaginas look like those of porn stars, regardless of ample evidence to the effect that this kind of surgery can affect not only the sensitivity, but also the possibility of a natural birth. But the phenomenon goes beyond the pornizacion of everyday life because, as Levy points out, this is an approach to sexuality, according to which this is a currency, an object that is given or exchanged in return for social acceptance and belonging. Or at least that's how it is interpreted after interviews and analyzes girls eleven and twelve who agreed to have sex with young people from more advanced courses, not in search of hedonistic pleasure and the exploration of body, but as they are subject to change to be socially accepted in the groups that sexual partners have access. That is, is not pleasure, or curiosity, or desire to explore what drives these young people to have their first sexual experience, which in the words of these young women had not been pleasant, which leads to this is a need belonging, of being socially accepted, to show they have grown, however, in the background, which in reality this is a confusion between the desire for attention and desire sexual.
may or may not agree with Ariel Levy approaches, but what can not be overlooked is that the discussion about feminism, sexuality and objectification of women should be reconsidered and analyzed to see positive and negative have this vision of feminism amalgamated Levy calls "raunch culture" in the objective realities of women, the relationship with their environment and the implications for women's self-esteem.
