I believe that for think in feminism, is necessary understand that we are victims to the system. For this reason, the particulars persons live the patriarchal problem every day. In general, the feminism understand that the sexual problem that live the society; is consequence to the patriarchy system. The rules of society are make for men. In this situation, the woman and the others sexual identities are forgotten. The gender`s rules are express in our bodies and our behaviour is based in this hegemonic sexual division.
In other way, I want to say that I think that is necessary that the people understand the gender problem, because the situation is present in our daily life. The patriarchy is violent !! The sexual discrimination is a phenomenon that happen in the street, job, school, university, politic spaces, private spaces, home, etc. In addition, the level of the discrimination depends of the position of the person in the society; for example, a man can be suffer for have masculine-hegemonic behaviour, but an aborigine woman can be suffer sexual and xenophobic discrimination.
I wrote this explication for invite you to talk about the woman experiences. With a good friend, Consuelo, have been speaking about our bodies and the control that the system have about their. In this context, we will have a "taller" to speak and understand about our "formal bodies". In fact, the symbolic system and the medical system have control of the natural process of our bodies and our sexualities. On one side, this control is problematic because we are accustomed to use chemical elements, like pill contraceptive. For other way, there is a symbolic problem, because the society teach that the woman body is subordinated, our menstrual flow is horrible and our bodies smell bad.
We think that is necessary finish with this taboos; and is the moment to think that the feminist action began with think in our bodies.
