Historical feminism, which is not identified with any specific partisan acronym and is transversal, has been verbally attacked this 8M, in Madrid, by the new feminism manufactured by the left in power. In the capital of Spain, The great demonstration of 8M has not been one, but two. He historical feminism, on the one handwith a tour; pro-government feminism, on the other. And among the participants in this march of the left in power, when asked about it, they have heard derogatory references towards those who do not agree with the discourse imposed by the Sánchez Government. “They are right-wing”said one of those interviewed by OKDIARIO as the maximum argument. The protesters of historical feminism answered: “We are not demonstrating because we belong to a party or a political ideology but for women's rights.”
The incoherence has reached the point that the PSOE, which verbally advocates the abolition of prostitutionhas stated in the march that he was not calling for the fight against sexual exploitation.
«Our demonstration is that of the feminist movement of Madrid that brings together the main women's organizations in the capital and informal groups with the same agenda, that of lifelong feminism, which fights to advance in issues as basic as work-life balance. and family, the one that calls for ending the labor and salary gap, the one that defends the abolition of prostitution…”
One of these non-partisan historical feminist activists criticized the “incoherence” of socialist feminism. And they censure that left in power that prioritizes partisanship over the real defense of women's rights.
«We are also against part of the articles of the Law transwhich has allowed for a year the registry change of sex without any legal guarantee, which allows adolescent hormones and genital mutilation of adolescents without any medical and psychological guarantee, because it is outrageous,” said one of the women who have supported the demonstration of historical, non-governmental feminism before the microphones of OKDIARIO.
Another of these protesters stressed: «Those from the PSOE supposedly should all be in this demonstration, because their speech is abolitionist of prostitution, but in practice apparently it is not, because The PSOE women are in another demonstration, in which they do not ask to abolish prostitution. There is an inconsistency».
And another of these activists portrayed this incoherence with a phrase as concise as it was illuminating: «Irene Montero It is not feminism, if you are not even very clear that it is a woman, what rights are you defending?
In the other demonstration, the pro-government one, the activists responded with disdain to OKDIARIO's questions that asked them to explain their positions. «We do not want to talk to those who think that whether men kill depends on the Ley of only yes is yes», stated one of those protesters, striving to justify defending the feminism coined by parties that have approved laws that remove rapists from prisons and reduce sentences for sexual offenders.
“We have a lot to claim to be arguing with you,” said another of these activists who have supported the demonstration sponsored by the left in power. «We are only here to talk about femicides. It's just that we don't go into the rest of the controversies. It's not just rapists who kill women. “We are here to represent all women.”
