Introduction

Developing

Feminism is the heterogeneous set of cultural, political, economic and social movements that aim to liberate women and the claim of their rights, as well as question the domination and violence of men about women and the allocation of rolessocial according to gender.

The influence of feminism has achieved changes in areas such as female vote, equality before law or reproductive rights, among many others. In its intellectual aspect, feminist theory has also influenced critical theory, giving rise to gender studies, as well as subdisciplines of social sciences and study of natural sciences.

Historical history of feminist movements and its origins both in Mexico

Women’s movements are not necessarily feminist movements. However, both correspond many times in terms of gender attributes, that is, in making the voice and place of women visible.

When referring to movements in general, for example, to the movement of human rights or to the movements of struggles for impunity, the author points out that there may be at certain times an inclusion of gender struggles in their causes of women, todespite having specific agendas in matters not directly related to women’s affairs.

In the transition period between dictatorship and democracy, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, new movements arise in countries such as Argentina

social that formulated rights of different types. In Argentina, with the democratic recovery, they report, in addition to the movement for justice, for memory, for the closure of impunity, groups such as those of the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo or the grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, which does notThey defined feminist, but that placed women in the public sand in an exceptional condition.

Another women’s movement in Argentina that joins and separates waters within feminism, as Barrancos says, is that of maternal feminism or feminist martenalism.

This movement that relies on the role of women’s mother helps to create the base, according to the thesis of Barrancos, of the social welfare state, to the extent that women demand rights of sons and daughters and family assistance, through family allocation and recognition of a plus salary for each child.

Another part of the women’s movement has to do directly with the movements of sexual minorities (gay, lesbian movements, transgender movement, transsexuals), which demand above all the sovereignty of the body and the right of the exercise of free sexuality and notdiscrimination by sexuality. Another type of women’s movements has been constituted as part of the movements against impunity, for the violation and murder of young women (the case of femicide in Ciudad Juárez).

For ravines, the movements of feminist women and the movements of sexual minorities, which have emerged with greater force from the 1990s, are those that highlight in a clearest way the gender attributes.

In the case of Argentina, the fact that there is a late request for the rights of the body had to do with the author, with the fact that the construction of modernization during the twentieth century did not imply the construction of a subjective modernity. Modernization could not transform aspects of the Argentine patriarchal society. The idea of a sovereignty of the body, is a recent construction, says Barrancos, and has to do with the most fundamental sovereignty that is to have a right over the body itself.

What feminists want

Continue living in fear of being violated by being women. Continue living in a world full of inequalities and surrounded by denialists. We do not want our girls and boys to grow in a world that continues to perpetuate the patriarchal system that will limit its progress.

The 12 points that feminist women want

• That all your human rights are respected.
• Equal rights and opportunities.
• Public policies with a gender perspective.
• Parity, especially where decisions are made.
• Respect for our sexual and reproductive rights.
• Equality education.
• That the world of communication adopts a feminist perspective.
• The eradication of gender violence.
• Make our genealogy visible.
• Sorority, no clashes.
• That is clear: it is not.
• Do not fool themselves, feminists want equal.

General objective of human rights regarding feminist movements.

Examine how human rights in their hegemonic (liberal) version, and even in their post -structuralist and colonial critic. Legal, colonial, postcolonial and necropolitical feminist criticism unveils how the rights of women and other historically minorized groups due to sexuality and gender have not been considered human rights or in the hegemonic discourse or in the leftist criticism. Criticism the heteropatriarchy of hegemonic theory and criticism of human rights, and highlights how women’s struggles have been silenced and invisible by liberals, Marxists and critics.

What are the points that human rights defend with respect to the feminist group?

• The object of criticism: universal human rights and the absence of race, class, gender and sexuality
• The legal and decolonial critic of human rights: the absence of women
• Citizen Human Rights: Early Feminist Criticism
• Androcentrism in Law: Feminist Legal Theory
• The public/private division and the universal subject: the facto exclusion of women’s rights
• Beyond white feminism: postcolonial and decolonial criticism
• The radicalization of violence against women and feminist thought.
• The radicalization of the violence and human rights of women: necropolitics criticism.

Positive feminism elements

Elementary demands in a healthy democratic society: effective equality, beyond formal equality.

It highlights some serious problems of our society that affect women as a collective: gender violence, sexual violence, salary gap, etc ..

It is a transverse phenomenon, which affects the whole society. All women suffer to a greater or lesser extent the effects of inequality, whatever their social position.

It is a transnational dimension movement, which not only addresses the situation of women in Spain but also throughout the planet. Our country is at the forefront of that movement.

It is the socialization of a whole generation of young women and men, including adolescents, in values such as equality, solidarity, empathy, the fight against injustices, the value of the collective, etc ..

Forces public authorities to take into account those voices that indicate real problems, taking effective measures to stop them.

It is an authentic cultural battle that has managed to transform even aspects of the intimate sphere of human beings: particularly sentimental relationships and sexual relations

Negative elements of feminism

Some of its most activist and ultraideologized minorities. A good part of the negative elements that can be highlighted are more typical of them than the whole of the feminist movement.

In just a few years it has gone from being a movement limited to activist sectors to become a true mass phenomenon capable of mobilizing social majorities. But some of their most militant elites have not lost their minority vocation.

A feminist identity has been built too strong and restricted. Many women who claim feminist are not able to recognize themselves in it and have felt expelled from the movement.

Sometimes feminism is formulated as something much less plural and diverse than it is effectively. In some cases, unresolved debates within the feminist movement itself are silenced, precisely those that highlight their plurality: prostitution, surrogacy, pornography, the role of transsexual women … On these and other issues they usually appear as positionsunquestionable of the feminist movement those that are only part of the same.

Feminism appears as an omnicomprehensive ideology, which has an opinion about almost everything. The argument before 8m is a good example. It is difficult to combine this will to cover everything with the political plurality of women in our society. There is an almost complete identification between feminism and the ideology of the alternative left. That leaves out hundreds of thousands of feminist women with other political sensibilities.

Trend to hyperbole: sometimes the negative is exaggerated ("women kill us", "do not believe us", "in Spain there is a culture of rape") and progress is not sufficiently recognized, which makes it difficult to put intovalue the achievements of the feminist movement and its transformative potential in the last forty years. Missing historical sense.

Trend also to a victimizing speech: women are not only victims of patriarchy but sometimes they are pushed to build their gender identity as victims. Revictimization risk is running. Greater balance is missing between the denunciation speeches and those most self-affirmative. The LGTBI movement has achieved a better balance between the two aspects: on the one hand the discounts for the denunciation of homophobia and on the other hand those of self-affirmation of one’s identity in a positive sense.

conclusion

I want to add my opinion about this issue since it is a very controversial issue, from my thinking I think against this group or feminist movement since wanting to demonstrate many third party rights which from my see something hypocritical since they ask thatTheir rights are respected as a community or society but they are not reciprocal in their being, if they really wantedput the marches that had a few months ago in Mexico City and Monterrey which highlighted too much violence and vandalism.

I just want to add that I am not saying that their requests are wrong to the contrary are of great importance but the ways of manifesting are not correct in any ethical or moral sense.
