I ask, in principle, sorry for the long absence. I have many excuses and they are all true, but I do not think anyone interested, so ... to the point. Continue, as it promised a couple of months, with sexism in the upbringing and education of niñxs vegan.
start from the conviction is widespread that the upbringing and education so sexist and that this is a situation that affects not only our children but also children. However, I am convinced also that it is in our children in whom sexism is devastating (and I would be exaggerating to use that word, but unfortunately, it is not). Many studies carried out by sociólogxs psicólogxs and have found that almost all girls show a noticeable drop in self-esteem and their self-confidence around 11 to 13 years. And there are few studies comparing the self-concept mismxs with the children, and found that theirs is invariably higher than theirs. An example: in one study were asked children how well they thought they were going out on a particular test of skill, all the kids thought we'd be better than the final out, while all the girls thought performance would be poorer than it finally was. In fact, not really much difference in the results obtained in children tested, but there was in the confidence that one and the other showed in their ability to perform. The point is that sexism in our society leads to our girls to become women passive, dependent, insecure, fearful, weak, helpless, unable to defend their opinions and convictions, concerned to please and please, and obsessed by their appearance. Although sexism also affects children, otherwise it does in this case, the pressure to meet expectations that may not be complete, as is expected of them pro, independence, security, courage, strength, ability to protect vegan weak (women, of course) are required to have an opinion on every issue important to know to defend, and, above all, are known to "get" a woman "beautiful" for "shall" . If women are prepared to be dominated, undervalued, oppressed, exploited, abused ... losers they must be those who dominate, oppress, exploit and abuse, to be considered, then, "winners."
When I talk about this, normally I am accused of "feminist" (for whom he says is an insult, of course), exaggerated, and not live in the XXI century. As there are doctors, lawyers, engineers and even presidents, sexism is considered by muchxs (especially by many men), a thing of the past. The worst thing is when other women tell me they have not experienced any discrimination and oppression because of their gender. Almost always, who says it is a woman who is so ostensibly the victim of sexism, which not notice it. The other day, for example, Janice, Gala and I went to a ceremony of the Hare Krishnas. (As part of their education, we like to expose Gala to a diversity of beliefs and cultural events.) Once the ceremony, one of the devout (about our age) came to talk with us. After a while of trying to indoctrinate the girl, Janice asked if there was sexism in their religion, if women were subordinate to men, if I had the same opportunities, etc. She said that women in their religion, had full equality and that was treated with the same respect and consideration than the man. Then came a Hare Krishna and addressed her as "mother." She replied, and called it "Prabu. When asked what these names meant, she told us that in their religion, all women were called "mother", because that is the role of women, "so that all were born," he said. And "Prabu", asked Janice. The girl replied that is the name given to all men and that means "my lord" ... No comments.
Generally, women who claim that there is no sexism are girls who are grateful for the crumbs that the system "generously" grants, to be able to play professionally and personally and call that "equal opportunities", and not even realize that the division of tasks in their "home" is not fair, and, of course, have never been asked why they have to undergo diets and treatments to stay "young and in-line", while his lovely wife are increasingly bald and paunchy and do nothing about it.
Anyway ... continue with this for the upbringing and education sexist (not sexist) in another post. I promise, now, writing regularly. Thanks for your patience.
