"

este es el comentario en la contraportada, un comentario atractivo que me invitó a querer conocer la opinión de la autora esperando fluidez entrelazada con cuestionamientos acerca de su propia perspectiva a fin y al cabo el comentario recuerda que badinter es feminista y filósofa.
. . lt. lt ese combo me sugiere que no será sólo encontrar enlazar a su conveniencia sino hacer el ejercicio de cuestionar sus bias, percepciones, etc,

desafortunadamente me encontré con pensamientos que me resultaron interesantes pero su defensa estaba más basada en si x entonces y lo cual no necesariamente es una línea de pensamiento atinada.
"y" puede responder también a otros factores,

señalar que la mayoría de las mujeres realmente no quieren reproducirse y ejercer una maternidad pero deciden hacerlo porque temen optar por ese "no" o "childfree" que culturalmente es rechazado por tirarlo de hedonista, egoísta, et al.
. . defender este punto poniendo como ejemplo a Francia como el país valemadrista en donde señala, en varios de sus ensayos, el que las mujeres prefieren sus senos "perfectos" antes de lactar y entonces expresar cómo instituciones como La Liga de la Leche van ganando "batalla" en llenar de culpabilidad a las mujeres que deciden por cesáreas, no lactar, regresar al trabajo etc para entonces justificar "hey, las mujeres están sucumbiendo al paternalismo sin que éste tenga que abrir la boca si quiera".
. . me resulta simplista.

si francia es el ejemplo de una sociedad que "no se deja arrastrar por el sentimiento de culpa de ser mala madre" me parece que es igual de peligroso señalar como hedonista la "libertad sexual" y los "senos perfectos" y no como lo que pudieran ser: el reflejo del ejercicio sexista sobre mujeres que se han convencido de desearse como objeto aunque para ellas, y parece que para badinter también, digan que ESO es la expresión hedonista materialista en pro del feminismo que el naturalismo que pone en riesgo el trabajo pro equidad de género.


es cierto que el sentimiento de culpa en la mujer es grande pero igual el rollo del hombre que se encuentra en querer o no ser padre.
. . peor aún porque socialmente "el hombre tiene que hacerse responsable" de la criatura, hmm . cómo le sacas ese rollo a la sociedad que le hace sentir culpable también al hombre de "abandonar" a esa criatura y a su madre tsk tsk.


me parece muy limitado el libro y sólo acomoda a su conveniencia sin cuestionar si ese hedonismo no es un disfraz, el efecto paternalista sobre el hombre y la mujer, etc.


alguien conoce algún libro de la autora en donde recoja de modo más amplio estos puntos In the pathbreaking tradition of Backlash and The Time Bind, The Conflict, aEuropean bestseller, identifies a surprising setback to women's freedom: progressive modern motherhood

Elisabeth Badinter has for decades been in the vanguard of the European fight for women's equality.
Now, in an explosive new book, she points her finger at a most unlikely force undermining the status of women: liberal motherhood, in thrall to all that is "natural.
" Attachment parenting, cosleeping, babywearing, and especially breastfeedingthese hallmarks of contemporary motherhood have succeeded in tethering women to the home and family to an extent not seen since thes.
Badinter argues that the taboos now surrounding epidurals, formula, disposable

diapers, cribsand anything that distracts a mother's attention from her offspringhave turned childrearing into a singularly regressive force,

In sharp, engaging prose, Badinter names a reactionary shift that is intensely felt but has not been clearly articulated until now, a shift that America has pioneered.
She reserves special ire for the orthodoxy of the La Leche Leaguean offshoot of conservative Evangelicalismshowing how ondemand breastfeeding, with all its limitations, curtails women's choices, Moreover, the pressure to provide children with/availability and empathy has produced a generation of overwhelmed and guiltladen mothersone cause of the West's alarming decline in birthrate,

A bestseller in Europe, The Conflict is a scathing indictment of a stealthy zealotry that cheats women of their full potential, Kitap anneliğin ve doğumun, emzirmenin vs, kutsallaştırılmasına farklı bir açıdan bakıyor ve konuyla ilgili ilginç istatistikler paylaşıyor, Mutsuz ebeveynler, çocuk sahibi olmayı nihai amaç olarak görmediği için bencillikle suçlananlar için bilimsel bir "yalnız değilsin" açıklaması, Ama sanırım Elisabeth Badinter, kendi görüşlerini aktarmaktan ya da dünyada bu işler daha farklı algılansaydı neler olurdu diye örneklemekten biraz çekinerek, fazla tarafsız kalarak anlatmış mevzuyu.
Severek okudum, arada sırada da geri döneceğimi düşünüyorum ama güzel bir konu, eksik bir anlatım diyerektenyıldız veriyorum, Very interesting topic, makes some really good points, kind of annoyingly written almost a little sarcastic, Also, quite short and with weirdly large text and margins, Like There's obviously a lot of information here, and this seems to be deliberately just skimming the surface,

Focuses on the naturalist movement of the last few decades cosleeping, attachment parenting, increased emphasis on breastfeeding, etc, and on how government policies and cultural norms about motherhood are related to each other, On the contradictions women face:

"The first, . . is social. While boosters of the traditional family condemn working mothers, companies resent them for their children, For many, motherhood is held as the highest form of fulfillment for women even as it is devalued socially, Fulltime mothers are unpaid, suspected of doing nothing all day, and deprived of a professional identity because their work requires no qualifications, . .

The second contradiction is conjugal, Couples tend to expect and desire children, yet, as many have noted, a child is not conducive to a couple's love life, . . A good number of young couples admit that they only realized the demands of the job after the fact "no one warned me," they say, Increasingly, partners are taking a hard second look before launching on this adventure,

The most painful contradiction is personal, affecting every woman who does not identify with motherhood, every woman who feels torn between love for her child and personal desires, between wanting the best for her baby and wanting the best for herself.
A child conceived as a source of fulfillment can, it turns out, stand in the way of that fulfillment, And, if we pile up a mother's responsibilities to the point of overload, she will feel this contradiction all the more keenly,

These contradictions are rarely given serious consideration, And by expecting ever more of mothers, the naturalist ideology not only fails to offer solutions, it makes the contradictions untenable, Wherever the prevailing ideal conflates womanhood with motherhood, women who cannot fulfill the expectations pinned on them are increasingly likely to turn their backs on motherhood, This is in reference to low and dropping birth rates in industrialized countries, and an increase in couples who are "childfree by choice", In countries where being a woman and being a mother are seen as distinct identities, where the legitimacy of multiple women's roles is recognized, and where motherhood does not overwhelm all other possibilities, women do want to have children, even if it means falling short of the ideal of motherhood.
" A very French navelgazey book but backed with a lot of statistical research, This argument highlights how women took on the mantle of "ideal motherhood" at the same moment of gender liberation in thes thus cutting off true equality, I will definitely be using this argument as a discussion in class this fall, The line that struck me the most was:

"The irony of history is that it was precisely at the point that Western women finally rid themselves of patriarchy that they acquired a new master in the home.
Women had achieved financial independence vas well as control over whether they had children or not: they had no reason, it seemed, to continue to confront mens power,
Yet, thirty years later, there is no denying that male domination persists, lt gt Their increased responsibility for babies and young children has proved just as restrictive, if not more so, than sexism in the home or in the workplace, A woman might be able to turn her back on her boss or her husband, but she can hardly walk away from her baby,
The tyranny of maternal duty is not new”
