The escaping to bear the stigma of "being women."

Carol Zardetto

Sigmund Freud wrote the most important treaty on the human soul, however, the woman was for him the question that remained unanswered, the "black continent." Lacan was wondering if she exists. Einstein, one of the best minds that humanity has had restricted his wife serving coffee to the many women who visited him. The great American novelist Scott Fitzgerald, the literary talent of his wife, put her into insanity.
For many centuries, women were subjected to the absolute dependence and control of all branches of the family, society, the church. His only source of legitimacy was marriage. Was used as a womb to give birth to the sons of kings, oligarchs and aristocrats, and scorned when he failed to fulfill this function adequately.

He vetoed the right to work, to possession of property, education. In colonial times, a woman could not marry and that her parents did not wish to continue holding, had no choice but to run into a "house of mercy" which helpless. In the twentieth century, many countries did not recognize the right to vote to women. In the struggle to obtain, were insulted, imprisoned and even tortured.
The desire of women was vilified by the Church from its origins, placing it as a source of perversion of innocence male. Every woman who tried to transgress the narrow limits imposed on him was labeled standards of a bitch, witch or crazy.

During the wars, the woman's body is taken by force, as if it were an extension of enemy territory, her clitoris is amputated to ensure their loyalty and was killed when his behavior is challenging fantasies paranoid boyfriends, husbands or fathers. There are countless atrocities that happen to women daring to not bow to the straitjacket that served to coin the word "woman." Have things changed much? In the women's prison, most inmates are there because of a codependent relationship with her boyfriend or husband who involved in the crime. A few months ago, indigenous women in Chimaltenango pleaded for government support as their husbands are not allowed to use birth control. The murders of women are climbing and everything indicates that it is a matter of pure misogyny.

So, those who escape the macho machines are few. And even beyond to bear the stigma of "being women." Maybe this is why Julia Kristeva said building the concept of what being a woman is still a chore pending. Maybe he's right. So it's up to us strive on it, it's enough to make do with being a reflection of the male gaze complacent.
