At some point it was due to open the ban to slap mothers and I have not heard. I do not know if it was that I was not attentive or that they notified him in a voice but it is true that I did not hear it although I am realizing that yes, it is evident that the closure has been opened.
Come and hit with your prose, with your good intentions and better ways! And let him raise his hand who has decided that mothers are to blame for everything lately! ... for thanking him, of course. And if it was you, dear Carmen, at what time have you decided that we mothers are practically to blame for everything?
But it is also true that ... where they give them, they take them and some of us have tired of the pimpampún in which it seems that this has become of motherhood. That we all have our neuros and our anguishes but I do not come to vent with the mothers that we already have enough with ours.
And on top of a woman, on the other hand, thankfully it's a woman! because as she says
"If this article had been written by a man, right now they would be crucifying those same feminists who advocate free bleeding and breastfeeding until three years."
Yes, with that climax Carmen Posadas ended her column a few days ago, a column in which the ode to the Macedonian was served, so, all together, all mixed, all muddled and without much sense, but let's go for parts that the Crucifixion in the 21st century remains anachronistic. Some of us prefer a quiet coffee and a talk without the obligation to agree only with the premise of mutual respect, almost nothing Carmen!
I really like it, I have to say, that in the pages of an economic and financial website such as finance.com, there is room for a woman to “talk about her things” sure that this has been the exception and normally the column of Carmen Posadas entitled “Small Infamies” talks about economics, financial engineering, personal income tax, fiscal policy of the different parties, public debt, IBEX 35, fiscal aminist. The things that men talk about in this same medium because talking about cakes and end-of-course parties in this medium is as if in Babies and more we would talk about alloy wheels or ABS brakes and on the other hand and After reading it, it is sad that a woman considers the reality of other women.
The fact is that she decides that women are getting carried away by the fashion of the natural and ecological and we are leading “Certain more ancestral and retrograde female roles”.
Keep in mind that in the environment in which she moves, two-year-old children speak as professors and their mothers “Young, very beautiful and with university studies” breastfeeds before a surprised, perhaps uncomfortable and slightly loaded with prejudices, Carmen Posadas who in a display of modernity and tolerance points out that
"I will not be the one who is scalping the hair before mothers who claim their right to feed their children how and when they please, there each with his particular desire for prominence not to say exhibitionism."
Demolishing the concept of an exhibitionist mother or eagerness for exacerbated prominence that breastfeeds her two-year-old son as advised by the World Health Organization; devastating the column of this lady in what respect, prejudice and tolerance refers to the thousands of people, some women and many mothers who do not think like her, as devastating the manipulation that shows mixing information and omitting another as when He talks about the proposals of the CUP in Catalonia:
“They want health centers to promote" alternative methods of collecting menstrual bleeding "to expensive and inexpensive tampons and compresses. For this they advocate free bleeding (sic) and the use of sea sponges (sic too). ”
Casually Carmen, you forget to mention that also and to a greater extent, they mentioned menstrual cups, a method as hygienic and comfortable as tampons and compresses but much cheaper for users and infinitely more ecological than compresses and tampons hey, what a shame that you will just forget this and you will stay with the anecdote that best serves to ridicule them! because what is absolutely clear is that you care about the environment between nothing and less than nothing
"Am I a bad mother because I do not make homemade cakes and buy the child's costume in a Chinese instead of sewing it with my hands? What if I do not breastfeed until I have teeth? And if I do not stop with pain? And if I spoil the environment with my tampons and compresses? "
Come on, let's mix it all up, it is not going to be perfectly understood what you mean!
No Carmen, of course it is not compatible to breastfeed children at that age or with six months if you want to have a professional life and you do not have logistic support at home beyond your partner and sometimes, hopefully.
No Carmen, that you can not mean that you do not want to continue with "The post of glare and the splendid salary" and if you hurry me with the position even if I don't have so much glare and the salary only serves to reach the end of the month without throats, that in many houses that is already a triumph.
What happens is that value judgments like the one you mark in your "Little infamies" it does not help anything for the equality of women or for the reconciliation of family and personal life.
Of course we give up personal plots when we are mothers, maybe you when you had your daughters back in the seventies you were not forced to give up anything, maybe your job at that time allowed you to perfectly match your work and family life but the fact is that hundreds of thousands of women in this country cannot and it is not that they do not want, nor that we believe "The great trickster of these new neomujerile behaviors".
You don't believe me the same, Carmen, but in truth, in general, it is not that we are more stupid than mothers of previous generations or smarter, don't believe it, we have our things but we try to do our best with the pressure they exert. examples of policies that decide not to take maternity leave to which the law obliges them or with infamous articles like yours, I follow it by the title of your column, obviously.
What we agree on is that
"Falling into old tics thanks to new pseudoprogressive fashions is completely stupid"
As stupid as it is to think that the situation of women in this country right now is due to a matter of pseudo-progressive fashions with which women voluntarily relegate to leave the labor market and abandon their intentions of having a profession (the the broken leg is that it deserves no mention ...)
And I don't even tell you if you add to all the above the trauma of gender violence of sexist crimes, it is true it is completely stupid and the worst is tremendously cruel but you do it without putting your hair in your "little infamies" .
Paraphrasing the work of Vargas Llosa of 1969, one of his best novels, one of the most difficult to correct and one of the proudest he feels, "Conversations in the Cathedral" and thus placing us, leaning on the bar of that bar which gives title to the novel Carmen, I would tell you and Zavala that feminism got screwed when people like you insisted on sticking the wheel that took us all to a better place. But no problem, we will take longer, we will arrive tired but we will arrive, it is what life has to leave in the Carmen effort, without crucifixions but also without genuflections.
