Francoise Eaubonne feminist writer (1920 - 2005) published his book in 1974 two plagues threaten all humanity, she said, the overcrowding and resource depletion .
"We are compelled to note that in appropriating the total fertility rate (women) and fertility (soil) are men and patriarchal society that we have completed this double disaster. Eaubonne Francoise d's' pressed his knowledge of femaleness (ie the misfortune of being a woman in a society governed by men) to rise to the highest level, that the salvation of the human species threatened with extinction by mistakes and the system of his masters "- Excerpt from the fourth coverage.
The femaleness or radical subjectivity
The bad fortune of being a woman and live in a world of men, misogyny, material world where we must live and which separates us.
"Everywhere reign of oppression, oppression and repression that is internalized" the woman essential, the eternal feminine, the woman separated of humanity by non woman returned its radical otherness.
Francoise Eaubonne rejects essentialism, this "place of our oppression," which we are reduced to a minority as we are the majority of humanity. She writes: "We can no longer believe in the essentiality or substantial sexual; metaphysics became a ghost. We know that there is no woman more" essential "that predisposed to the proletarian being, or "born criminal" ...". The sub-races are fables, such as pre-logical mentality.
Tools for demolition: the curse on Eve
gynophobe ideology runs through the whole literature, philosophy, arts, religions, here are the "Voices of humanity who have built the world we live in" (excerpts E-F takes four full pages! ):
"Who relies on women, rely on thieves" Hesiod.
"The woman can not teach or testify, nor compromise, nor judge." Augustine.
"Sovereign plague that woman" John Chrysostom.
"I want women to be held in silence women, be submissive to your husbands." Paul, the founder of Christianity. (For these last three Fd'E Saint wrote but do not count on me to append the label to these holy men hate ).
"You should always go in mourning and in rags for have lost the human race. "Tertullian
" Ugly tapeworm which has its headquarters in the heart of man, the girl lying outpost of hell "John of Damascus ( It recognizes that hate to wear women fathers of the church, worshipers of a male god! )
But the Koran is no exception:
Islam gives the woman the man "as a field to plow." of Metaphor ' operator agricultural .
Hebrew religion: "Thank God for not making me a woman", the first Jewish prayer of the morning watching. "Thank God for having made according to your will, "said echoing the Jewish woman practitioner.
" When I say woman, I say one sex as fragile as a variable, so changeable, so fickle and imperfect ... "Rabelais.
" It floats, it hesitates, In a word, she is a woman. "Racine.
" Man is the master and the woman obeys. "Proudhon, the socialist author of" Property is theft "and finds a woman knows always enough to "make or housewife harlot." It must be said that this was particularly hard gynophobe illustrates, we found "ugly and venomous beasts."
Scientists are prominently in the gospel misogynist :
"The woman most spiritual and most refined equivalent ultimately to a man so high, only with much more pretension." Auguste Comte in a letter announcing her engagement to a friend!
For Freud, we missed all men, jealous as a child's penis our little brother!
And his sentence: "Destiny is Anatomy", it connects us to our reproductive destiny.
Montaigne, more informed but is mistaken: "Women are not wrong when they refuse the rules prevailing in the world, especially since it is the men who made no them. "Without them, this is not enough to say is they need AGAINST says Francoise Eaubonne.
All cultures and all geographies are affected by sexism. Wisdom of Nations:
Hungary: "Women thy name is silence", "Money is a good beginning and wife beating", Poland: "The good woman down, horses are better off the car" and the (soft) France: Bats your wife as you beat your wheat, you'll have good wheat, you'll have good children! "[....]
in to assume the neutral, non woman was assigned the universal, human, and we have separated ! (While most current discoveries of biologists are consistent in showing that the wife is here, and that man differs from it far more than it differs from human P-73). They are
we learned what we were, she wrote: sinners irreducible of backward and treacherous fools and sluts, whores or maids, we lost the world killed Christ, brought death on earth, we corrupting souls, we exhaust the purses, we were chatting instead of listening, we sometimes bloody Fate of the Sphinx, sometimes the poor
Bobonne; wholesale, we infested the planet. We were much burned in the Middle Ages, like the Jews, but we were still there. "(It is well recognized the soil of asphyxiating anthems of all commercial advertising intended to sell us anything and everything! )
Work - Prostitution - Rape
" I was casting a hollow and I had to be punished .
in 1974 as the beginning of this century, though the numbers have changed, these differences are still gaping! wage differential minus 20 to minus 50% over 80% of half-time are occupied by women. The half-time were encouraged in the 60s of last century to make available an industrial support staff for clipping the peaks of activity in a period of full employment where we were going to look for migrant workers, women could provide cheap labor and undemanding. Today, half is used in areas of under-employment and it is always for women. "It allows employers to substitute a blessed any increase in salary or promotion opportunities and an escape to other claims Women in labor "wrote Fd'E.
F E is also concerned that instead of increasing the number of nurseries or kindergartens, preferred lengthen maternity leave, give the young mother quit his job a year without layoffs, and advance his retirement at age 55. All these reforms were intended to discourage actual employers to pick up women, and encourage them to return to their homes. (I believe that Elisabeth Badinter not find anything wrong with that today! )
LORD additional income, she can be reminded that if it does "not make enough," she can always rent a meter from the sidewalk and do business of his body, it can grow capital by selling "either one (in marriage) or the male community (the sidewalk)
[and it] is one of the toughest mental structures of our society "wrote E F. In other words, if [his body] is not sold wholesale in the institution of marriage, you have to be detailed in the prostitution. Even "if the vast majority of women die without having experienced this decline, there is none that does is reminded of throughout his life or at certain times, it could fall into it. "Whore" is the first insult that comes to the mouth of a man in conflict with a woman then, shots are better justified.
Rape can be used as a weapon as an instrument of torture, for political writing Fd'E.
Under this threat, for men, a wife is first someone "who does the housework and all that mess, for man, marriage is a simplification, for Women's ramparts. Every society constructs its complicity by the fatal mechanism that leads to this impoverished conception. Women: which saves a man chores and masturbation. The man that saved the woman's rape
all others! Exploitation of women's bodies in human reproduction has only to put in place.
"... this touching and idealistic solution to which are attached in turn Stalinist and backward Catholics ignored, like everything that is produced by this kind of politicians, many reasons that may have a wife to refuse motherhood beyond those that it always puts forward: the lack of housing, poor health, physical discomfort. A can almost as if women were a herd whose only right valid, the only claim allowed, it would still have a good pasture, a barn airy and clean, shiny hair and a veterinary attention. Whereby, by what perversion would they refuse the farmer as many calves that can provide their flanks and their generous vulvas still hot? ". This text was written some months before the law authorizing the election of Weil does not lead pregnancy to term (1975) and is contemporaneous with the Neuwirth law on contraception which French have waited 4 years decrees. My readers Western, who have less than 50 years ago today, that act as if contraception had always existed, do not know not motherhood has long been a misfortune for a majority of women harassed by repeated pregnancies and in numbers of developing countries today is still the case: "married woman, pet, spouse, farmer, wife battering, battery hen "said Carol Adams J! (Married woman, domesticated animals, husband and husbandmen, Battered Women, battery chicks!).
Revolutions Revolutions: French 1789, 1917 Bolshevik Russia, refusing to consider the particular case of women by classifying workers as the workers in their husbands, denying their oppression in marriage and work free at home, failed to establish a better situation of women in France, they were not included in the franchise yet said universal, and the USSR, if they were the majority to practice medicine to name a single example, this occupation was totally discredited there and poorly paid. Two women saw that women were the losers of the revolutionaries of their era: Olympe de Gouge France and Kollontai USSR. During the war Independence of Algeria, where they fought and suffered secretly like men torture reserved for the independence activists, after the Evian agreements they are asked to return to their "kitchen" without manners! Worse, today, a family code degrades their independence and freedom in marriage and family. The Chinese have been so imposing totalitarian policy of one child and no more there than here, we have recognized their particular oppression: the mule to do anything for free within the family. The class struggle will recognize that the working proletariat, not the wife productive in the home, in imitation of the capitalist system and he's noted that these two systems to destroy the same resources and deplete irreplaceable nature. " Conclusion: whether reformers or revolutionaries, communist or leftist revisionists, the most rebellious men taken together are always male, chauvinistic and macho .
