You heard of a collection of books that deal with complex issues in a supposedly simple for dummies, with a wide repertoire: mathematics, economics, philosophy, languages, computers and new technologies ... but also magic, poker or guitar.

Although feminism has a long historical background, it is surprising that it is still subject to negative stereotypes, misconceptions, and, in general, a lack of knowledge regarding their goals.

Dummy public: Mmhh ... I'll have to look better. Not speak of feminists is that women are subjected to structural violence because of pregnancy. No woman should be forced to abort a family conflict, work or social (sic).
Feminist approach is very manipulative. national learning corporation It is more common that this "structural violence" defer the decision to have children than lead to abortion. national learning corporation But remember that this structural violence plays basically markets and companies with the lack of political balance between work and private life (the so-called "reconciliation"). Until we assess the social function of motherhood women will not fit the model of worker-citizen national learning corporation man. And of course there is the complicity of the state that does not regulate adequately recognition policies and public services to support motherhood and fatherhood. If paternity leave was more extensive than the current compulsory for men, of course not in the business processes of selection and promotion of the "risk" that a woman is the mother of childbearing age. These arguments can not, therefore, be an excuse to limit reproductive rights. The vast majority of anti-abortionist leaders are men but none of them will ever be pregnant.

Feminist Mix feminism and Nazism beyond insult, it is a very serious trivialization of Nazism and either a total lack of understanding of feminism, or not very camouflaged attempt to insult him. The substantive point, however, lies in that language creates stereotypes and invisible. Just see how the RAE dictionary defines "masculino" (manly, vigorous) and "femenino" (weak endeble).
