"I feminist? Absolutely not, I am heterosexual, I like a man and then I shave! Now we have the equality !" How many times have we heard a friend or colleague to pronounce these words? Always present two other variations on the theme: "You are feminist? But if you're so sweet (cute / funny / etc.) !" or " Look, if you think certain things do not get married (you can not find a boyfriend / die with the dog as his only companion / etc.) !"
Some clichés die hard. The first, perhaps the most obnoxious feminists want to mirror the one with the sexism and misandry. The center of everything appear to be the infamous SCUM (Society For Cutting Up Men) manifesto by Valerie Solanas a pamphlet in which she criticizes the male-dominated society and American hopes the advent of a world without men. The script would probably be passed by a simple satire of the male universe if Solanas, mentally disturbed, had not confused with the practical scope of the ironic, shooting Andy Warhol. Ironic phrases like " The Y gene is an incomplete X, then the men women are incomplete " or " The man is a machine, a walking vimbratore " the light of subsequent events take a look disturbing.
The ultimate gesture of Solanas does not justify the association between feminism and misandry. The feminist theories are many and varied, influenced by the culture and the historical context in which they were formed. They live under the same label theories on equality between men and women, on the exaltation of the differences between men and women and the promotion of the individual irrespective of sex (as in utopia cybernetics Donna Haraway). The supporters of female superiority are a distinct minority in this framework. Why then is the injury?
We have equal rights, but in the popular imagination sexist stereotypes die hard. Internet is also a tool that if misused creates some real ghettos where resentment, ignorance and misogyny can have fun freely. So sites and anti-feminist forum, spread the idea that women never misleading. Women are described as being superficial, ungrateful and wicked, who do their best to ruin the lives of poor people, mentally and sexually frustrated, and ridiculed, or simply remain indifferent. Then the feminists hate men and envy (Freud docet ). Women are victims when they complain about discrimination at work, if they dispute the hypocritical media objectification of their bodies lying when they accuse men harassment, exaggerated when it comes to stalking . You can only love odiandole .
As a result of the spread of these ideas increase the phenomenon of stalking teen. Some girls are secretly photographed or filmed by their boyfriends, which threatens to spread the pictures to obtain sexual services or to resume the relationship in case of breakage. Others are threatened with violence and insulted incessantly if they ignore me or leave a boy. Personal information may also be transmitted (perhaps by stealing passwords) or put around gossip created a table to put pressure on the victim. This is not something that only involves certain neighborhoods or certain type of girls and boys, but a phenomenon cross. And sadly close.
