(en) libertasalonica: NO TOLERANCE IN gender-based violence
(gr) [machine translation]
Few weeks ago a girl was savage attack at the entrance of her apartment block on his way
home. This attack was the reason to come to the surface a series of other incidents of
gender violence that had occurred in the same area before. And these in turn are a drop in
the ocean of smaller or larger attacks, attacks (verbal, psychological, physical),
depreciation and violence. ---- Every few months, public opinion "shocked" by a
particularly violent attack or rape. Angry with the abuser-some even rushing to make the
Nazis hiding in them, demanding public lintsarismata- and feel compassion and pity for the
"victim". Those who daily love to explain how the victim "the 'wanted' because he wore
short skirts or because circulated only very slowly, silent for a few moments (or not)
before continuing to len the same unsubstantiated nonsense, with the same style, once the
"sincere sadness" about the incident subsided.
And then forget.
All that remains are the cries for more policing, tougher penalties on perpetrators and
the terror-hysteria about how careful we must be on how and where traffic. If, indeed,
happen to the rapist is immigrant, was added thereto and the racist overtones of the
'uncivilized' immigrant who wanders the streets asking for trouble to rape Greeks -
screams has happened also lead to pogroms.
What are the victimizers? It disturbed. They are alcoholics. Muslims. It is always "the
others". Yet rapists are not "others" are not unknown and strange monsters preying on the
corners. It's Father, uncles, relatives, spouses, that through rape affirm their power.
They are everyday men.
Western societies like to show their disgust with "irrational fanatic Muslims who oppress
and kapou- somewhere petrovoloun their wives' and delude themselves that they themselves
have left sexism in the past. However, we all know that coming out of our house one will
we look like a piece of meat, someone will whisper to us, someone we 'the fall'. They will
put our hand on the street or on the bus. We eat all the super-sexoualikopoiimena Western
"democratic" standards in the face. We will hear known twaddle about how our body is
"proper" to leave uncovered, how to talk, to laugh, to sit. From kindergarten yet, we will
begin to learn how to become good wives, mothers, homemakers. We go to work, where you get
paid less than male colleagues us. If we are lucky we will hire -afotou reassure our
prospective boss that we have no purpose to stay pregnant and knowing that if they do you
apolythoume-. Will we turn home, we cook and do all the housework. Many of us will
experience more upgraded expressions of the famous Western equality: abuse, beatings,
rapes. Home, work, road is different touches the same sexist canvas.
And while feminist organizations and NGOs do tabletop exercises on how to "abolished"
sexism, we know that patriarchy can not be born, but useful tool of capitalism.
The latter had sexism to establish and needed now. You need to gendered oppression to
convert his wife to playback tool of labor power and thus eterokanonikotita to establish a
certain culture of "compulsory heterosexuality" and "homosexuality miarotita".
Discrimination based on gender and sexual direction, like those based on race, age or any
other social segregation inherent structural elements of capitalism, necessary to divide
the working class and the oppressed for the fragmentation of their resistances. The
hierarchy and the divisions within the working class between the man and the woman, the
straight and lgbtqi person, the legal and the worker without papers, etc., it is vital for
the bosses and cultivated them diligently, both ideological level and in purely material
(eg wage differentials antra- woman). Especially today, under conditions of crisis, sexism
is more necessary than ever for the withdrawal of 'superfluous' labor from the production
and maintenance of social hierarchy.
As long as the contrast capital- labor, sexism will employed for the benefit of the
former. As long as the state will perpetuate sexism. That is why our struggle against
sexism is part of anticapitalist and antikratikou fight.
We fight in the here and now, against all fronts, against all conditions that generate and
promote the exercise of power.
Crimp sexism and system feed him
