Feminism In Ecuador Del S.Xviii

Feminism in Ecuador del S.XVIII

We are located at the time of Colonial of Ecuador in the 18Spanish customs and culture was implementing apoco in Ecuador.

We are going to investigate the influence of gender inequality in women so that they will carry out uprisings in search and recognition of their rights, since, there was so much injustice that led women to become aware and decide to get up to fight for respect for their gender.

Gender equity means that both men and women are born with the same rights without taking into account physiological differences, that is, my accessibility for both in any field within society. This equity allows the two sexes to have the same conditions, forms of treatment and opportunities. By explanation, feminism is the pronouncement of women towards the search for equal rights between men and women. Feminism is born from the bosom of the patriarchy and of the androcentrism that has been maintained for centuries, even as part of a culture of a country, as in this case: Ecuador. Over the years, feminism is understood in two ways, well -understood feminism and misunderstood feminism. This has been given by androcentrism, which has caused women involuntarily granting the male of all power, placing it in the center of things and making it a single autonomous being and relegating women to their dependence. The woman has taken roles that do not correspond to her, the home is understood by father and mother, therefore, must be shared, where decisions are made through a consensus, however, the man has attributed the role of only power.

For many years, women have been marginalized from politics, economy, and of every social issue, relegating it only to domestic work. His studies were limited, because obviously who enjoyed more privileges was the male. To femininity, supposedly because of its biological characteristics, it could not be able to carry out intellectual activities. Therefore, the female gender was considered the weak sex and gender and above that was the masculinity who for a long time attributed the concentration of absolute power.

Patriarchy has been the origin of feminism, since, it is a social scheme whose authority is exclusively that of the male. It is a patriarchal cultural social form where women do not have the minimum action of assuming public affairs, or having control over goods or properties. The woman is taken as a man’s support, no more, she can’t stand out alone, because she can’t even work, everything was home.

The Church went hand in with the patriarchal culture, because in a way they supported that vision, for this reason the women studied mostly in religious schools and it was there that they were "teaching" the work they had to fulfill and that they should notdo, if they would not be judged by the Church and by society.

In short, I will try to demonstrate how serious it was social injustice towards women, so that they retaliate and will demarcate from that stereotype in which they were, freeing themselves from the male dependence and seeking their own autonomy in order to be recognized andOutstanding for their intellectual wisdom, highlighting its ability to carry out the same activities as man and achieving gender equity for Ecuador.
