A day without women and / or A Veracruz Carnival without women *!

In order to reconstruct the subjectivity of the social to enable gender equality

"A day without women": It is a long time to realize that something and someone are missing, as soon as we lose sight of a loved one, we will surely realize that it counts, and that the numbers do not come out, that someone is missing, and that it is important that it is, if it counts and they are important, and if you want to notice their absence and certain importance if they are missing we will realize that they count and that they are missing, even if their absence is a second, the problem is not if they are missing, if you notice their absence, but we care and your presence is vital; and that is how important his absence hurts, and his presence becomes vital; even if it is enclosed in the body of a man, that is an infant, or a young woman, or an adult, or an old woman; All of them are important, and I repeat, even when they are locked in the body of a man, or a man is locked in the body of a woman, they all count and are important, and their absence hurts and their presence rejoices.

A debate is endless, how to write a human world with the hands of women? It seems a forced question after realizing that the written history of man was made with the hands of men, with the faces of men, even the Western Judeo-Christian God, the main promoter in the world of gender equality, becomes present in a masculine face, and it is more complicated to define what is a woman ?, because anyone can place themselves in that place, in that place, in that feeling, in that desire; conceptual territories overlap, more when we realize that this last question is not easy, it is essential to answer it to discuss the first question, more when we realize that roles and body are not enough, mainly because we touch the epistemic terrain of the subjectivity.

A man-made story, the woman excluded from writing, a public thing unable to reflect the ideal of equality between men and women. An incomplete discourse runs parallel, and it is accompanied by obsolete vindictive strategies unable to perceive the context of the decline of the Western world, where the problem of the feminine can only be considered as an absolute that allows women to write the public and think, charging accordingly, with the possibility of another failure of "man" to gain a conceptualization of the public that provides for the progressive experience of life in society.

But we insist on including the difference without canceling it, and if this is possible, redo the story written by man, build a story between equals, share a narrative among equals, to achieve full equality, to do justice, and the role of woman is fundamental; even as a story of the real, to think that someday men can claim justice for the misuse of the part of the story made by women.

But let's leave the conceptual conjecture, and be practical about the impossibility of remaking history and think how with the way we have constructed human history we can include the difference without canceling it, and make possible a world among equals, end the abuses of the the physical weakness of women, of crimes for this abuse of physical power accompanied by psychological power, of educating new generations about the need to become aware of the other as an equal, and that is necessary to enable the survival of the human species.

That is why it is important to point out that the problem is not with public policies with gender perspectives, but with making effective gender perspectives of public policies, since the history and the way in which human subjectivity has been constructed does not admit another reading or sensitivity, much less, another interpretation, because it is the masculine that has built this "idea of ​​man" that we have today, where the roles are fulfilled at a low table, despite the achievements of the emancipation of women , paradoxically and unfairly, we now charge women with our roles, apart from their own, they have to fulfill them religiously, what a gender justice! What a struggle, and the results of this struggle, apart from nurturing, labor from home, now he has to work and take responsibility for support, all for equality.

It is not easy to accept this paradigm shift, since we blindly believe that it is possible to reconstruct the subjectivity of the social, and teach men and introduce "gender perspective" into public institutions, and that we can incorporate differences without canceling them, myth that comes from the boast of logos and rationality, insistently, a face of the same coin, a soul and a body, impossible to conceive two souls and a body.

As simple as that, the history of man has been built by man, let's take the step of letting women configure the history of man in his public life; the Amazons ruling, with all the enigma of women, with their positioning in the face of structural failure, on the one hand, outside and on the other, capable of taking responsibility for life unrestrictedly, it is expected not the rebellion of slaves or of The ascetics, but of the women.

But first we must clean up an ominous pollution, paradoxically, the main demands, strong defenders of women, are "men locked in women's bodies", who else can cling to that defense at all costs but those who love them, even when in reality there is a lack. Even there the masculine is present, making every woman's vindictive discourse contradictory.

The struggle is in another place, not in the mechanical change of the forms and processes in which public life has been configured, excluding not women as such, but their perspective on the public thing, the change is in that subtle change of semantic order, "public policies with a gender perspective" for "gender perspective of public policies", not in its pathetic begging to share the history of man. The story is already written, and in response to biology the spirit was configured, the soul, it is not the soul enclosed in a body, it is the body enclosed in a soul, it is typical of language, of the symbolic structure that sustains our idea of world and of man, that is where the final debate is waged, where one goes from thinking to doing, to excess, to crime; In short, the clinic is the missing dimension in politics and in the quarterless war that is waged for equality between men and women, from which many victims can be saved, such as our Petima Fatima, and all Fatima.
