(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #226 - March 8: 365 days of anger


The meaning of this day is totally distorted by the media, politicians and even those 
feminists who have joined the "celebrations" official. Abandon them this day and 365 days 
are introducing annual anger. ---- Masculinists SOS Papa are received by two ministers, 
because one of them climbed a crane, attracting all media. All the press speaks of the 
South African athlete who killed Reeva Steenkamp with whom he lived most calls his 
"girlfriend" without his name sort of legitimizing his right to kill, she was his, without 
identity. ---- Equality was not the agenda of negotiations inter January 11. The only 
measure that directly affects women is the limited part-time at 24 hours minimum, with 
many exceptions including personal services (1.5 million women). ---- This year was the 
scandal of breast implants and doubts about some pills. It is always the female body are 
manipulated and which is enriched.

Income inequality, domestic labor time, compulsory education and gendered occupations and 
tolerance for gender-based violence, nothing goes better.

March 8, became a trade

The monthly Marie-Claire, who had moments before joining the feminist women's magazines 
cohort antifeminist and anti-women, published in the March 8, photos of ten male 
celebrities posing in red high heels to assert their feminism.

The pubards and sellers begin their campaign feminism is a kind of personal development 
and offers to take care of us, consuming (and more pleasing).

It is thus a living "professionn'elles" which " aims to guide and support women 
volunteers motivated and "a" woman of the night "with shippendales, four" great ladies of 
urban culture "ignite room show ... The list is endless retrieving events this day.

Feminists preparing the first of their two annual events (the second was held in November 
for the World Day against violence against women). Same claims, the same lack of progress 
ever since. Some participate in official events, seeking equality within the system that 
inequality is the base.

365 days of anger

It is time to stop. Found that the system mode-beauty-media is the strongest and March 8 
has lost its subversive. March 8th abandon reformist feminists, the media touts, policies 
sitting on their power to pubards and merchants. Everyday act against the system, against 
violent men, against injustice, against the false bottoms officials. Are introducing 
annual 365 days of anger, this year and all those that follow. It will include women's 
strike on 8 March 2014.
