Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run with Wolves. The myth of the Wild Woman
When discussing the emancipation of our common imagery brings to mind, among other things, the figure of the female and strenuous battles won in the time to ensure parity with the ball of the opposite sex, the male. Equality which had not yet been reached.
But what do we mean by empowerment today?
The figure of the woman must be freed so that it can not be more: *
judged by physical appearance
* subject to judge rather than individual judges
* Discrimination in the workplace
absent from the workplace * *
raped, beaten and thrown in the streets to prostitute
* insecure in their homes for unsafe road
* *
body reduced to a small silicone
* * * without consciousness in the dressing
burned, tortured, and to take stones, mutilated
* unable to reject inappropriate advances
* wife and devoted mother or whore
* ignored, not considered as representative half the population unable to
* fighter for his sacred rights of human being * unable to
not feel a sense of guilt after eating what she wanted to eat
* trapped in a perpetual sense of inadequacy
Now we try to see how the stereotype can be freed of the human figure, that is no longer
* a person in a position to judge the woman just for its looks
* limited in their ability to recognize an opportunity for the other sex * comparison
discriminatory reasons beyond the context examined
* present in the workplace because they have only a penis
* customer of prostitutes thrown on the street after being raped and beaten
* father, husband, uncle, friend, abusive, rapist, murderess (Home) *
unknown rapist maniac murderess (the streets) *
troglodyte who drools over the body of a woman
* drooling troglodyte on the silicon body of a woman
* not smart enough to recognize the woman from the same freedom in dressing
* not human enough to prevent burning, torture, Stone, mutilate a woman for alleged crimes when committed by a man just accepted routine
* marpione that in any event can not help but make advances to women to try to exploit conceal his manhood and his castration complex latent
* unable to consider the woman except as a wife and devoted mother to the family, who served and revered like a spoiled child, or a bitch to use and then throw a used tissue and * dirty
unable to compete with the other half of the population that is female *
unable to fight for the sacred rights of woman as a human being
* unable to avoid fitting models stereotyped sexualized and demeaning to both sexes
* trapped in a perpetual sense of inadequacy
There are many women who want to break away from the imaginary stereotype in our society. There
are some men who want to break away from the imaginary stereotype in our society.
Nowadays we can no longer talk about feminism, women's empowerment, women's issues.
E 'increasingly urgent to speak of emancipation, so that the spheres of female and male can overlap without prejudice.
If women no longer stuck in the stereotype of the devoted wife, mother, beautiful at any cost.
that man is no longer stuck in the stereotype of the macho without feelings.
For a society in which the woman is free to be a worker, an entrepreneur of itself, present in all social and political contexts.
For a society where a man can be free to be a bit 'Dad more, a little' more home, you have the freedom to cry if they want, without being mocked, not having to prove their manhood every time to be accepted.
As the woman should not always show his physical attractiveness to be accepted.
I think no one better than a man can express these feelings summarized briefly here. Men, we want to hear you too!
a social message in the hope that sexuality can be lived freely from both sexes, in dilaettica between male and female.
