Essay 2

Introduction

Within society, stereotypes have shaped people's minds about a body-mind relationship, accumulating a fascination for appropriate bodies in terms of the perception of beauty that has been established. That is why, depending on the time, these stereotypes vary, at first were assimilated to the curves of the body, understanding the fattest bodies as a sign of beauty. Later in the time of conquest and colony, Beauty took another representation of the body, assuming now the slender figure as the most appropriate body model and best aesthetic. The reproduction of stereotypes has been patented by the mass media, where there are various images of what society conforms in its mentality as beautiful and appropriate to be accepted within the system. Within the aforementioned stereotypes, the issue of body weight and the shape of its figure is the most noteworthy, the prejudice from this paradigm of perception have been the most noticeable in terms of the representation of discrimination.

Body

First of all it should be understood that it is understood by "Gordo fobia", this social phenomenon is described as: "feeling of repulsion or accentuated discomfort against the people considered fat, outside the aesthetic patterns" (Guioteca, 2018), in addition to "a bias Automatic and normally unconscious that leads to discriminate, objective and underestimate to overweight people, especially if those people are women "(Psicologiaymente, 2018).

This social phenomenon present in the society has demarcated lines of the perception of the people and their bodies, especially in the female bodies. Within the conceptions of beauty for women "standardization of a single type of beauty" (Neria, 2018, p. 64) is created, lines of thought are created according to certain types of body, which mark a goal for other human beings, who are in a told effort to achieve them, which is linked to the sense of approval, in the particular case of women, the approval of a man (which patented the heteronorma).

The Gordofobia as a phenomenon has been established by these standards, creating segregation and notions of discrimination from this term, creating barriers of interpersonal relations and guides  by superficial roads, this causes many of the people, Who suffer from overweight are a focus of rejection, allowing the reproduction of the stigma established.

Feminism approaches this subject from the domination of the human body, especially the female body, which is constantly subjected to beauty assignments that are installed to segregate, this decants in various illnesses and mental disorders, specifically in adolescence.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can assert the like people to be ruled under a certain system, which seeks the production of patented paradigms in a productive future, manages to intervene also in the form of our body and mind, affected and controlled to Fit within standards not only of beauty, but also of behavior.

Feminism is a social and political movement that begins at the end of the 18s which implies the awareness of women as a group or collective human, which visualize the unfair treatment within our society from the roles of gender taxes, which decant in the vision of the supposed superiority of male sex. The oppression, domination, and exploitation of that have been and are the subject of the collective of males in the bosom of the patriarchy under its different historical phases of production model, which moves them to the action for the release of their sex in various aspects.

Body

The French Revolution of 1789 marked the beginning of a current, linked to the egalitarian and rationalist ideology of the Enlightenment, and to the new working conditions that emerged from the Industrial revolution. In Western Europe and North America began feminism, which fought for the equality of women and their liberation. During that period, the main objective of the women's movement was to achieve the right to vote. Thus the suffragette movement was born.

After the suffragette period, the new feminism was created. At the end of World War II, women got the right to vote in almost all European countries, but in parallel there was a reflux of feminist struggles. This reformed current begins in the late 60’s of the last century in the U.S. and Europe, and falls within the social movements that emerged during that decade in the more developed countries.

Inside of contemporary feminism there are many groups with different tendencies and orientations, exist radical feminism, liberal feminism, Marxist feminism, Socialist feminism, de-colonial feminism and much more.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, with the recognition of the multiplicities and heterogeneity of the movement there is a crisis and great discussions in its bosom. Some talk about a third wave. It points out the relational character between genders and denounces the power structures that occur among women. The contributions of the psychoanalysis allowed visualizing the emotional manipulation that the mothers usually exert. It breaks with the prevalent idea of the victim woman. In the present century women as an active social group have been able to empower their image, has achieved recognition and achievements although there is still a long way to go.

Introduction 2

The feminist movement in Chile

Background:

Chile is a country with a sexist ideology and tradition; it is for this reason that the figure of the woman has been the victim of different discriminations and ill-treatment over the years, within this ill-treatment we can mention the culture of rape, which normalizes and justifies this act by holding the female gender accountable for their behavior or clothing. Also we can include the submission that the most of women suffer in a relationship, in this case, the masculine figure exerts a mastery of the female body, understanding this as an object more than as a person. For all this things, the women’s around the world fight for an equality of right and treat, that’s the start of a feminist movement, including important milestones such as the right to women's vote and the right to abortion.

Problem:

In Chile, the movement, despite having an explosion within the last years, has been subject of controversy due to the little seriousness that takes the male sex in the majority and to a certain part of the female gender, this due to the normalization of the machist behavior long since the beginning of Chilean society. This takes away the serious of the movement, for this, in the social media, so many of people make jokes about this, caricaturing all feminist slogans. The little restriction that is made to the people who repeat these behavior allows them to continue over time and that the society remains blinded under the patriarchal gaze, that objective and manipulates the body and female mind to as you want

Proposed Solution:

The solution for this constant mocking of the feminist movement would be to make the population aware of the problem that is deployed and the because it is struggling, leaving to reproduce as normal, sayings, jokes, images and words that correspond to damage to the genre female. First of all, as a first step, the state must take charge of gender policies that equal the political, social, labor and economic opportunities between men and women, putting society in an undifferentiated equity. Assuming this first movement from the state, it remains to teach within the educational system a gender perspective that helps our children grow with a different look, that helps with full development regardless of gender
