Making the invisible visible Updates
di Maria Serena Sapegno
La mobilitazione del 13 febbraio che chiama nelle piazze di almeno sessanta città di tutta Italia le donne di ogni età e provenienza, di diverse convinzioni politiche e collocazione sociale, e invita anche gli men who understand the meaning and complexity, is organized by a group of women are also very different. No 'principals' or puppeteers, as some s fear, and above all as a fundamental aim to impose respect for women. FOR ALL WOMEN.
This is a deeply political event, and who does not seek the mediation of political parties or groups, but is targeted directly to women, since men do not seem to have the political lucidity of being called into question by directly 'battered image and violent power fallocratico the more fragile the more arrogant. A power based on an old domain, that of one sex over, renovated now only superficially.
What we read in the past weeks not only be of a private scene hued pathetic and grotesque, as has been noted by many. It is first of all emerge with striking clarity of a pre-modern system of corruption, which provides for those who can enter the feudal court of the generous and give what the whim of the moment dictate, are not only Serbs and large unspecified gifts from jewelry, to large sums of money in real estate, careers fulminating on television, but even the possibility of access to public offices and institutions. It is also important that are invited to this court almost exclusively young women (even minors) and very beautiful, large groups, living representations of the projections of male desire which serve to confirm, reassuring him. Just in direct continuity with what is happening for several years on our television screens where there is no woman who is not an image of that craving that must be coaxed in mute assurance that these beautiful women who do not wish to provoke and please him then, not live for this.
There is a direct relationship between this representation and repetitive figures on the scandalous absence of women from decision-making roles, both public and private, unemployment Women on birth control, lack of childcare and the elderly, which put Italy in the lowest places of the international classifications. Yet, Italian women have come a long way, are much stronger and more aware, are spread throughout society with their talents.
The fact is that the look and voice of women on themselves and the world, conquest era of feminism, does not know quasi public space, the space occupied almost entirely by the outrageous monologue and just gaze of men. For this is a humiliating spectacle, and it is especially to the eyes of children and young people / and that they never saw each other and consider perciò naturale. Ma al di là del suo essere umiliante, stiamo parlando di una rappresentazione del rapporto tra i sessi e di modelli di genere che hanno una forte valenza politica: parlano di dominio e sottomissione, di cancellazione della differenza, di misoginia e omofobia, di violenza e disprezzo.
È necessario certo denunciare la tacita complicità degli uomini, il loro liquidare tali questioni come poco importanti, materia da barzellette, a meno che non ci sia un reato, l’assoluta incapacità di vederne la rilevanza politica, anzi l’insofferenza e il fastidio per chi lo faccia, che manifestano in realtà le implicazioni profonde. Ma anche notare quante siano le donne stesse che ostentano indifferenza e la belief that others are the real problems.
So we decided that we had already touched bottom and could not be put off: If not now when? It was necessary to make a strong gesture that had the ability to produce estrangement, to make that again 'see' what you do not see you because we are accustomed to as normal, something that not only affects us and touches others. Why do affects us all and all and has very deeply, even beyond our awareness, our civil society.
was needed for this? And what use is he?
We are convinced that the symbolic gesture of inviting women to take to the streets together, beyond each side and understanding the many differences that characterize us, first of all have a sense again of mutual recognition, and might be the great power of women as a political fact to be imposed ' public opinion and as the capital of which Italy has a great need.
Certainly not enough. Why is not the first time, and because the events are just a moment that must weigh in a much broader process. Not just for us and can not and should not be enough for many men in these days of politics that accepted our invitation to the public: it's OK to feel civilian and evolved for an afternoon, although very late but they will be called to give concrete evidence of their 'friendship' in politics, except lose the vote of women. And later here in the real underlying theme of male sexual identity, the willingness or unwillingness to take note of its deep crisis without dangerous nostalgia, what argues for years and even in these days, seemingly deaf ears, the group Maschileplurale: is problem of men and their credibility. I speak instead of the balance of power, space for women, particularly young women, in all places, I speak of laws, change of work and society, specifically to enable women to the practice of full citizenship .
As for us women, as has been pointed out, we never shut up, it comes to finding new and more effective ways collectively to make our voice heard in public space. Dinuovo The association, which gave the initial mobilization, then that is growing on its own to the intersection and overlap of many reasons, but especially for the great desire of many women to express their anger and the desire to change, the desire which no one had realized the vastness, was born on this very subject. To weigh the strength of women in public space. Expressing the lateral force and self-connecting the many realities of women's active and conscious of this country, open all women who are interested, involved young women who believed the promise of equal pay more than others and the fall of illusions.
We'll see who wants to engage, we will set the most appropriate forms and respectful of the great diversity and try to put together the wealth of experience and capacity, the extraordinary richness that characterizes the diverse reality of women, in order to increase the weight and ' impact, because it is in this direction, rather than in the endless effort to support the game of others, he has to go the real contribution of women to the growth of this country.
