March 8th, 2019 (international Day of the United Nations for the
basic rights of the woman)!
Absent from March 2nd to March 8th, it is on my return, and with
delay, that I express myself compared to this international day of March 8th!
After
my preceding contribution relative to the necessary revision of a philosophical
thought too often misogynist = that can I add for this international day of
March 8th? Moreover, this contribution was published by the group
teachers affiliated to the United Nations.
Since
UNO, made this date that of the celebration of the commitment for the basic
rights of the woman, the years passed. The risk: is that which this date
becomes a formal ritual of the calendar, but by losing its direction of
commitment for the contents.
Indeed,
still to the XXI E century, of the dramatic situations exist all over the world
where the basic rights of the woman are ignored, ridiculed, with sometimes of
physical and psychological maltreatments.
Without
speaking of the religious obscurantism all the more when it manages from there
to remove lives or to deteriorate the basic rights of the woman by imposing
standards which ridicule the respect of its dignity and its biological reality
psycho- like its evolution carried by scientific progresses and those relating
to the conscience.
However,
even in the developed countries and in particular those of the Western camp,
the combat for L ` equal rights, against discriminations remains with the
agenda.
In
spite of laws, regulations, company agreements and branches, national
agreements interprofessional, sometimes of the quotas imposed in certain
situations, the wages of the women and their access to certain responsibilities
remain complicated and often minimized the importance of.
Normally,
the law, the regulation and according to, have two specificities: that to
regularize sociétaux assets by fixing them in the law and the regulation, is:
it are used of authority, alarm or formal notice to compensate for an anomaly
or noted discriminations.
How to explain the persistence of this shift?
I
expressed it a few years ago in a contribution, even among large philosophers
and scientists, those which controlled the knowledge of their time, number of
them were misogynists.
Admittedly,
I am not a follower of the theory of the kind, that in his exacerbated version
which implies that the human being chooses its freedom of membership of a sex,
to decide, if he becomes man or woman. It is a Thesis explaining the
construction of the sexual identity starting from nonbiological factors.
By
clarifying this distinction between “nature” and “culture”, the theory of the
kind contributed to dismantle myths firmly rooted on the difference between the
sexes and the functions and the values allotted to each one of them; she
moreover, drew the attention of the historians to the way in which these images
and these representations were created.
However,
according to my approach of human construction:With the birth, there are the
biological conditions psycho- which are those of possibility, but then: the
being which becomes nobody builds by a biography which contributes to the
specific individuality, which is modelled by objective social reports in a
given historical situation.
As follows: there is not: either a nature, or a culture = but
both!
Nature
and culture: This, because the conditions psycho- biological with the birth are
conditions of possibility, and then:such or such in its singularity, is
modelled by its objective social reports during childhood and adolescence,
then, on the way at the adulthood constitutes a biography during the remainder
of its existence. This is why in its work the second sex Simone de Beauvoir
could declare: ” One is not born woman; it is become! “
The
reproduction in the mankind is sexed, i.e. it rests on the formation of an
cell-egg resulting from fecundation, i.e. of the fusion of a female
reproductive cell, the ovule, with a male reproductive cell, the spermatozoïde.
The main feature of the sexed reproduction is to give rise to descendants
genetically different between them and different from their parents. Only
identical twin (twin monozygotes) makes exception and is similar between them
on the genetic level because they result from the early separation of the
embryo in two identical parts.
Until
the years 1875, it was commonly allowed that the man was the only person in
charge of fecundation: the woman being only one receptacle:One needed the
scientific discoveries of the end of the 19th century to show what is explained
above.
This
alas, contributed to the thought which the man was higher, that it was to deal
with the activities external of representation and pecuniary and civic social
life of the couple, and that the woman was dedicated to maternity and the
domestic and interior activities. At present still, in some places all over the
world of the women are excised, forced with the marriage without freely being
able to choose unites to them, and sometimes lapidated .....
Admittedly,
there exist situations which, (and only in certain biological situations
psycho-), which makes that individuals are badly at ease in their sexual
membership and by the transformism, and medical science, evolve to the other
sex, but that remains minority situations and who correspond to certain
situations of possibilities and physical and psychological typical locations.
Indeed,
the reality of the surgical act without any antecedent in the history relates
to mainly the transsexualism for therapeutic reasons. The justifications of
this act can be different according to the patients, more especially as the
operational results do not offer the same results; the phalloplastie does not
have the esthetic and functional equivalent of the vaginoplastie). The surgery
of facial feminization can constitute a major stage for the people concerned.
In
the adult, it is done only on request of the patient. A careful psychological
evaluation is carried out in order to make sure of the solidity of the request.
In all the cases, a hormonal treatment is started a long time in advance
(intended to reveal certain secondary sexual characters) and the patient must
live as anybody of the sex opposed during a certain time, in order to
consolidate the request.
In
the child, a surgery can be proposed in certain cases of hermaphroditism.
In
practice medical current, a diagnosis is necessary to profit from the process
of sexual reallocation. In the international classification of the diseases,
the diagnosis is known under the name of transsexualism. The Handbook diagnoses
and statistical mental disorders names it dysphorie kind in the 5th version.
Although the diagnosis is required to determine the medical need for such an
intervention, certain diagnosed people do not have the wish to carry out totality,
or certain parts, of the process of sexual reassignation, in particular the
genital surgery; they cannot also be suitable candidates for such an
intervention.
In
the usual situations of the social determination of the characteristics of a
sex, rather than of the artificial separations suggested by remarks of the
type: stronger sex, weaker sex, or higher or lower sex, propagated to
perpetuate the male domination, there exists certainly: morphological and
psychological differences, which can support slopes freely authorized towards
such or such trade or sport….
Examples:
still today, even if the variation were reduced, the male performances for the
100 meters, the 5000,… the high jump, the launching of the weight, etc .....
are higher on average for similarly trained athletes. However, it would also be
necessary to announce research in order to in such country: when the women were
authorized to practice such discipline identical compared to the men: often, it
is well afterwards!
Parental
education, then school, contributed certainly to this artificial separation
themselves being inserted in a given state of objective social reports
corresponding to the ideologies and manners of the time for which the religious
designs and the cultural practices held a role.
During
a long time, for example, in the plays: the girls were dedicated to those of
the headstock and the hopscotch, and the boys them with those of the balls, the
ossicles and the battle. It is urgent that the school system as of the nursery
school has the human means and pedagogies to explain why if humanity with 2
components of female sex and masculine, it does not have domination of the one
there on the other but differentiation justifying for the respect and the equal
treatment of all mankind:the Homo sapiens!
At
present, one can note it: with the access to the digital one, where
technologies are used as of childhood and adolescence, one sees girls like boys
typing on a keyboard, if not, to have the tactile address on the cellphone.
Admittedly,
it is this report of trades more frequently female: cashiers, nurses, teaching
in the primary education… with often this characteristic of weak remunerations:
despite everything, more and more of the functions feminize themselves: driver
of bus or bus, engineer, Entrepreneur, doctor,….The women are majority in the
uses of the social security, in those of the accounts - postal checks, in the
banks, insurances… They excel in the trades of address and speed of the gesture
and the spirit. However, the robotization which will accelerate, will modify
certain organizations of work and of recruitment, and will pose in fact: the
question of the right place of the women in the social life, this, because they
are frequently in trades less better remunerated and précarisés.
In
certain sectors or a certain co-education is practiced, sometimes, success rate
with the examinations is higher female side than male. Then, the woman should
everywhere on our planet freely decide to be mother by giving the life, and if
such is the case, this characteristic: ” on average” made that the woman is
alleviated and less warlike than the man.
Of
course, and alas the access to the functions leading of large group, member of
Parliament or as Head of State (even if there are evolutions), remains more
difficult and does not correspond to the reality which humanity has 2
components of female sex and masculine.The undergone male domination remains!
However,
this still current report, results by no means from a male intellectual superiority,
but the enormous repetition of generation in favor of the access to the
knowledge and the power of male domination created like a kind of inheritance
to have and be able.
Indeed,
the access of the women to the public life, the elective responsibility was
blocked a long time by the inequality of the right of access to the vote and
the representation in the public sphere.
Then:
to transform that passes by a political will, strong acts, and especially by a
transformation of the consciences: however, not of excessive illusion! If the
women draw up themselves, take over the combat for the equality and against
discriminations, saved time will be higher than that of the belief in the
natural good will of the men of which much takes pleasure beyond the speeches
in the current situation.
Education
with this equality of rights and duties is done as of parental and school
education. Then, one will need for it acts strong and especially controlled in
their application by the professional public power and spheres.
Disciplines
like anthropology and the ethology should help with this combat of our time. In
the national accounting: the contribution of the female activity should be
quantified like contribution to the social life.
Yes:
as ARAGON and Jean FERRAT = I write and I sing “the woman am and remain the
future of the man. ”
For
my part, I specified this reality by this short poem:
“The
woman is that
For
which to be man
Is
an effort and a challenge
Without end….
In
tribute to woman 4 song SEN 4 different languages:
Besame
Mucho in language Castillan
The
concepts of so-called superiority of a sex justifying the inequalities, being
used as a basis for the theories sexists continue to feed the fashionable
chronicles.
However,
the social history of the men and the women, is never but that of their
individual development.
Also
of MARX in the manuscripts of 1844, in Simone de Beauvoir,… in Judith Butler
(To demolish the kind: editions of Amsterdam, 2006), it appears clearly, that
the question of the women, is primarily the question of the men. The Key of
femininity is in the historical relationship to the masculinity. Admittedly,
the long ones and painful combat of feminists accentuate the event of the
taking into account of their basic rights; however also, their emancipation
passes by the transformation of mentalities and male practices for a total
emancipation of mankind.
In
its book:“The Man” editions the Argument, 2008/2009, Lucien SEVE can write, I
quote: “by using the neological concept of juxta structure: although they are
functionally given by the whole of the social reports, the individuals, do not
emerge on this basis, but are to some extent geared laterally in it, without
having their source there even…”
Thus,
to say what the man or the woman “tireless questions, piégeuses questions,
because the Man with a large H does not exist, but exists the mankind homo
sapiens, always declined in world social and destinies individual, singular, in
their geographical, cultural realities .....
In connection with the topicality in 2019:
In
France, while being payées15,8% less than the men at equal station, in the same
way with a level of higher diploma, the women worked in fact free in 2017
starting from November 3rd at 11:44.
The
year 2016, the newsletter of association “the glorious ones” according to same
calculations of Eurostat, not to be penalized compared to their male
colleagues, they should have stopped working on Tuesday, November 7, 2016 at
16:34. The women perceive more small retirements.This because often they
subscribed with shorter careers which are explained by the time of maternities,
parental leave for education, etc
Since
the business of the American Hollywood producer who imposed a right of cuissage
to the women for their artistic course, the languages were untied, a kind of
revolution copernician of mentalities is in hand and is essential.
The
slogan “Balances your pig” reflected this release of the word of the attitudes.
A
contrario about women, whose certain known names like that of the actress
Catherine Deneuve, who in her time, signed celebrates it platform of the
bitches in Nouvel Observateur for the right to the abortion, worry about the
risk of drifts, transforming simple dredging or joke into war of the sexes.
Personally,
I am not astonished, nor surprised by this major evolution sociétale!That there
are some excesses in opposite direction: it is inevitable! After centuries, not
to say millenia of male domination which did not shock high society, at
present, there is this vast clamor of indignation which calls acts of
transformation.
One,
and certainly not the only means of regulating this kind of situation gradually
will be that of the respect of the professional equality to work and in the
public life. This one respected, of the attempts at male domination, sexist,
will be faded so concretely it does not have superiority or established
domination there impregnating the bodies and the spirits.
For
example, in the company or another occupation implying various actors, if a
woman has the conviction, best the certainty, that its wages are devalued for
the same activity as a colleague man, it and or its selected trade-union
organization should to see starting a right of alarm, which, itself, would
automatically start a round-table conference between the Management of the firm
or sector concerned and the medium or staff representatives concerned with
obligation of result.
After
the time of indignation that comes from the action! After the time
of indignation that comes from the action!
Admittedly,
these last years, of many laws were enacted but more or less applied fault of
control, and will and means of application. To cure tens of centuries of male
domination, it takes a sufficient time of organized constraints. The respect of
the civic and professional equality between the men and the women still needs
strong incentives, even of targeted political pressures because the social
injunctions and morals are not enough.
This
is why I approve the publication of the companies which do not respect this
equality as well as the penal sanctions accompanying these publications.
In
France:the budget granted to the secretariat of State Marlène Schiappa,
responsible for the equality between the women and the men remains tiny = 30
million euros!In spite of the charisma and the media representativeness and the
standpoint of its Secretary of State, it has too little to act effectively.
Admittedly,
these last years, of many laws were enacted but more or less applied fault of
control, and will and means of application. To cure tens of centuries of male
domination, it takes a sufficient time of organized constraints.
If
the entrepreneur or other did not modify the situation met, the person
concerned and her workers' representation, would seize the services by work for
the legal sasine of the obligation and penal sanctions. This procedure would be
longer, but would allow a control and a census of the situations. If it proved
that this recourse is too heavy, the person and the workers' representation
would seize the judge directly. If necessary, the means allocated with the
justice and the training of the judges on this kind of business should be
multiplied by ten worthy of this challenge sociétal.
Other
reflections: I am favorable to the development and the encouragement of the
leave paternity = one of the means being able to advance the professional
equality man/woman. It is necessary to define the conditions of them, to
envisage the budget consequently. It is advisable to analyze the first
experiments carried out by consulting the men and their employers who opened
this possibility. Also to consider the future after consultation of the
employers' organizations and trade-union of paid as well as specialized
psychologists and sociologists.
I
am not a partisan of the quotas: I prefer the conviction by the argumentation.
However, since centuries, we are vis-a-vis this reality that one of the two
components of the humanity of female sex does not know the equal rights.
To
accelerate the transformation of mentalities, the practices, by one
transitional period and on certain fields: strong incentives, even imposed are
needed. By way of an example: that perhaps for the place of the women in the
boards of directors of groups, on the electoral registers during certain
consultations, in the Ministries, etc
52%
of the women are victims of sexual harassment during their life. It is more
than 1 woman out of 2. In addition, 1 woman out of 5 states to undergo or have
undergone sexual harassment on its workplace.
However,
82% of the employers still did not set up preventive measures against the
sexual harassment. That can change. On March 7th, the government should present
its government bill on the equality. But no measurement will relate to
violences with work.
-
In each police station of cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants a cell of
reception specialized should be able to receive the lodges of a complaint for
blows, threats, insults… And to support as of the least small incident the
demounting of handrails being used as something to lean on with later
investigations. This will pass on 2 legislatures by adapted and formed
recruitments budgeted for.
-
The training and the recruitment of specialized magistrates will have to be
programmed over 10 years accelerating the decisions judicaires, the speed and
the treatment of the complaints.
-
An experimental initiative will be to realize in 2019:
-
In the large ones and medium businesses and by geographical sector by gathering
the small ones and TPE, meetings of paid should be held 2 times a year, each
one over one duration of 1:30, the subject with psychologists, judges, police
officers, representatives of qualified associations and a competent
representative of the City receiving this presentation/debate.
The
first meeting would treat principles and reasons of this kind of
information/debate.
The
second Would treat concrete cases and sentences delivered as well as social
reconversions.
I
will bring other precise details at the time of the international day of peace
on September 21st;however, the civil society (and within this framework of
representing qualified this one) should be represented within International
institutions of which the General Assembly of the United Nations.(personalities
qualified of the economy, justice, science and culture, trade unionism, sports
activities and artistic.
When
the broached subjects touch with the respect of the dignity of the life:peaces,
education, health, incidences of poverty ..... the representatives of the civil
society should profit from the deliberative voice.
