International Women's Day all started 100 years ago in Europe in countries like Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and Austria. It seeks to recognize women as equal voting rights and employment nondiscrimination. At first it was called International Women's Day Workers.
Today many women feel proud to be happy and even make amnifestaciones marches and several public buildings and monuments are illuminated with light pink.
and women in Mexico City Cueta with preferences in public transport and in the metro during rush hour, morning and evening only they can use the front wagons. trucks are also roses "Artemis" and the pink taxis for women only.
Yesterday
Fine Arts hosted the opening of a congress of CONACULTA "The intellectual experience of women in the XXI century" but it is assumed that the entry is free, will be up on March 11, yesterday did not let anyone without a badge I stop by there for about 6 pm.
Congress see it better and inviting artists from around the world to discuss current achievements of women in culture.
I do not think that making it shine pink monuments and public transport division was achieved real change just to name examples.
I was born in 1992 and I have a different idea about the role of women in society, unlike many people older than me so as people my age. I find it stupid to make women less. Since childhood I uncomfortable saying "girl" to a child by way of offense but worse when they insult girls telling children "you girl."
common sight on the streets expressions like that and even more vile. To me uncomfortable surprise that kids my age and close friends say things like "do not be female" or "click weeping girl." I insist that the girls themselves and say this chavas. Everyday is something cultural. I see at school, with the team I coach the football in the street, etc..
women in Mexico has been slow steps towards true equality, barely got the vote in 1953.
Today it is common to see males that are excited when a woman earns more than them, there is domestic violence, and husbands and boyfriends treat them as objects of fun or sex toys. A pretty girl can not walk on the street in a skirt because it violated the walk almost everywhere, at least in the eyes and mind but lack the idiot who takes action. Today
inequality but I still see my parents and grandparents before me that was worse. Like when I read "The Battle in the Desert" by Jose Emilio Pacheco, which is located in the 50's in Mexico City remember much about the phrase "... a decent woman has its place only in the house ..."
In Mexico, the difference between man Mesoamerica and women was dictated by the natural order of things. In the outlook of man is attributed concepts such as fire, light, life, strength and perfume to say some women and water, darkness, death, weakness, and fetid respectively.
was all part of a cycle where the life would mature male and female, death is the germination and growth. Everything needed for its complement to maintaining the balance but in the case of men and women, if women have reached equality with men, was lost the order of the cycle. (I recommend the number 104, Arqueología Mexicana, September 2010)
But times change.
Today we know that women are weaker than men, we mean biologically. But today I think that better determines the ability of a person not their gender, but their preparation either physical or intellectual.
If we want gender equality must begin with our culture of everyday life, for education at school and at home.
overcoming stereotypes of "woman's place is at home alone."
Returning to public transport, not like the idea of \u200b\u200bcars and trucks for women only Why? is easy, there is no equality. Why do not some men? Once
was on the Bus, we were 3 men and four women but men we forgot that "the front is for women" but in the haste to reach the Bus not you look and all we were seated. Later
filled the truck and told a friend who was next to my "Let's give these ladies the place to" stop some women Iban 60. The truck was in the Revolution season and we see a policeman at the station in the rise of the wagons. He left the truck to move us more men with us to go to the back.
Something Completely a joke, we had heavy backpacks full of books and notebooks, almost fucking cop out and we were we all back. Worse because as he had left many women stick to one without accidentally push another and would have been much better if we had stayed in our place, with seats that had yielded to the ladies. But no egg poly sent us back.
hear comments of "fucking men, because they push, no education" etc.
I since before I was against the division of women's cars but that day convinced me more. And all because stupid people with no minimum education and ethical respects to the ladies in the carriage. the famous "shrimp Arrimónn."
After getting off all our friends told us they raised a relaxed ahead of Some ladies did not stop the mouth throw pests while a girl as 20 years, we defended. The women said that men are just brainless and orangutans are not many things more as the girl was saying it was not fair, why split the shipping? There was not equity or equality, we should all to live together respecting each other civilly echandole not entirely to blame all men for a few uneducated.
I did not see that girl but I'm pleased that we defend.
I invite readers of this blog to leave behind the insults and stupidity and a half of machismo, stop using words as an insult the female gender and women extremists, who I know has touched many, no use fighting for equality or superiority doing the same, do less and insulting to men, remains exactly the same problem.
respect one another to live civic education and tolerance, not only men but also women and people from thinking, preferences and origin different from ours.
