The tragedy of the Chilean miners is difficult to digest. Are these places against the back terrified imagination. The anxiety that assails us when we dare to give something of life to the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing with them for some desperate shape, is a very pale reflection. One of the things we can and must (if you'll excuse the annoying assertive tone) do is not forget them and demand to be rescued alive.
It would also be more responsible to identify, because the faults had been noticed by workers, and despised by people far wiser and valuable to them. That's why everyone is where he is.
reality as we know it has put miners 700 meters underground in a harsh physical and psychological conditions, subjected to a test that means torture and serious risk to their lives. And those far away in the sunny heights of sleek, modern buildings have tickets. Many bills. But this is not what I want to point out that it is a bit lazy and obvious.
The detail that arouses my curiosity is a frivolity that will surely delight any politically correct postmodern interest in these things: could you analyze this situation from a gender perspective?
Because ... gosh, I have not seen any gender perspective applied to this case. People who are quick to analyze any situation through the lens of gender famous face this seems dumb. Try to explain better.
plurals ending in "you" have been very brainy gender analysis and extensive. Many other aspects such as clothing, certain turns of phrase, uses and customs, etc.. were already identified as incredibly harmful to women without being allowed to question its relevance. And to talk about something closer to the topic: gender disadvantage experienced by women in the labor market is a fact that nobody dares to discuss.
When sometimes (I remember some discussion on this blog) I myself have brought up the subject of mining-work assigned exclusively to men, their risks, sacrifices and devastating health effects, the answer invariably is that I have received it is a "male privilege", which are men who usurp these enviable job leaving out the poor females.
And this is a round-stupidity, "he has explained in all seriousness people smarter than me. I say this without irony, because when idiocy is installed in the brain of an intelligent person is because the powerful force of prejudice has been put there. Those people would pay money if it were capable of providing these miners a short course to explain that this hellish ordeal they are going is the result of a privilege that they enjoy. Ingenuity to twist arguments certainly not necessary, would have to see how we walk of shame.
This hell miners suffering is not new, is too well known by many especially in the political left. And it is oh! a situation exclusively reserved for males. Only one man can touch live this kind of exploitation particularly brutal. But we expect that someone has left even the curiosity to see what happens if we analyze the case with a bit of balance, what implications does this at the time of sacrifice and burden sharing between men and women, what exactly does " equality. "
And of course I will not make the impudence to claim as mine the risk of falling into that situation, to identify with them because of my gender and daring to put myself in the of oppression that they suffer. Too well I know my class keeps me from such a risk. And I say this explicitly targeted to those who celebrate the "Day of Women" (?) Held in honor of a group of women who were suppressed by not be such but workers and strikers, women who certainly know that outraged outfit of the happy day he makes up Sarah Palin. And rightly so, since it is such a woman like them.
What turns my stomach is the hypocrisy of those who speak of "gender equality" paying attention to selected cases, as if reality made a strange switch every time he touches talk about the male gender without gender. That "equality" has a meaning girlfriends, buddies, buddy @ s, amiguitXs: be equal means to share rights and duties, joys, sorrows, efforts, risks, problems and solutions. Deal with cases like this more aggressive feminism-to be reminded: the oppressed, men and women, God does not give a damn, does what it's supposed to be a clever feint and begins to chatter about "equality" and "difference" putting in millions of words that fit into three: "when it suits me."
And since it's gender without gender, Chilean miners are not men, are simply "people." The fact that are all male, and the fact that only the male gender will be reserved for this and many other terrible situations requires a right-thinking sick ridiculous stunt is to declare a "privilege" everything that touches the man, so are things like this. The "equality feminism" brought to the miners as infamous holders of privileges, while the "difference" will come to say that after all are not equal, so here we leave society "patriarchal" intact and values \u200b\u200bin full force. But what if it were a group of women suffering from an office that only women do? What's Not say the suffering is gender? How many shameless little glasses with and without talk of "we" in Página/12?
I hope that fellow Chilean miners (and "partners" here has a strictly political meaning) are rescued alive, everyone. Chilean miners make this terrible sacrifice for their children and their wives without the chattering crowd of feminist SHELLFISH stack on them, while men-other than accusations and not a paltry recognition specifically related to their gender. Physical strength to lift the finger are not lacking, to put them back already.
and that those responsible pay for them and their families the equivalent of what they are enduring.
see who it calculates. Molluscum
* @ s, if they prefer. But beware that many are hermaphroditic, so not to become embroiled.
