Whenever I feel or am suspected of such, which I believe are the result of learned behaviors in society that awaited me at birth in doubt and doubts, punishment, restrain, the hide. apologize Also, in the honesty of arguments - with lots of custom-made - from the reality that the greatest and perhaps most important of my enculturation was carried out on a stage populated by women, all good and great in their communal spaces and in my memory, my mother, my teachers, later my partner. Marginally , although it is quite true that with great power, patriarchy was always there and took energetic space and marked roads considered correct to my sex. For example not to be effeminate, strange word, at least ridiculous, in a lamentable attempt to signify success, avoiding all gestures, verbal behavior or language or not, girls considered themselves (¿?). Among

Another very important issue not to mourn ... Ever! . Play ... but to kill, keep your wrists and / or dolls, fornication as soon as it airs and not just play, and if with better prostitute, unclean woman at last.. These and many other asuntos, la lista sería un sinfin de otros muchos etcs. también son los instrumentos que me convirtieron de niño ingenuo en varón histérico. Se nos han venido encima estos días oficiales de la mujer , que aunque no lo parezca cumplen 100 años, los cuales, por oficiales, por decretados, porque me parecen que en el mejor de los casos discriminan y en el peor infantilizan , cuando no, inferiorizan precisamente lo que intentan honrar, me pareció honrado que en un espacio antropológico que sé humilde, pero I intend epistemologically firm, could not refrain from expressing views contrary to them. Go to the plural for the benefit of this is not specialized day, the only thing that I fail. I also add my disapproval to help his old age. On the centennial. For a long time forgotten. For unmet goals and therefore discredited. Almost with him, comes to my astonishment, the Women Onu. I think and I do despair, that if you already have a sufficient UN to have the world so neatly disheveled, now in a kind of decision Mafalda Dona Bachelet included, we railroaded the UN women. Do not take it the wrong women in the world, but honestly - whatever is noble that they may believe is a boy, is my belief that do not. What if there are problems. But that does not walk around their settlement. Maybe if your makeup. But, in the case of being in error, I am human, please, I want my man and UN.
My frustrations with the society they live off the grief that even as media apparatus walk around, like my life flood of injustice, even they are not in the flesh, sometimes when I looked under desks señudos the power to confirm whether there were behind skirts or pants, which I saw was simply wrong. - somewhat longer tracks have given my views on the relationship of gender or sex, I have, on occasion: Neither XX nor XY , violence simply . Now I think to expand the field somewhat when I say that the situation of women in contemporary society is directly linked to the cultural model. is, I'm not finding anything I know, this model culture that determines the division of roles between the sexes and determine their status, prestige and other etcs, then and so from that formula to establish positions and hierarchies. So I think that if something is wrong, if a whole series of accusations that they approach these days of celebration and tribute to be felt from all corners of society that explicitly or implicitly point to the male dominant world, I sound something like a formality and a desire to look good without really providing much. The question that I consider appropriate, if one is under is its simplicity to easily query and response. What happens to us in relation to the strong concepts of Article 8 of the Constitution of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay when he says leave no room for ambiguity or duality of the following criteria:
"All persons are equal before the law does not recognize any distinction between them but the talent and virtue." Art.8 º Constitution
I appears that something is wrong in handling this issue. How much crying, produce "noise" to prevent things are understood. Hence my distrust for so many things said, written, done and told officers these days honoring women.
I have clarified, an opinion formed from the research results of the status of women in modern societies, which show nearly ; in full in them, their sons get better treatment than their wives. Do not want to bore you with numbers and concepts, which can easily find much in the pages of Public and Private international organization dealing with these issues. United Nations and OAS, no doubt.
not argue with the negative aspects that weigh on the status of women in Latin America, high mestizo continent, where the situation of women in regard to the main indicators are used to measure welfare is in clear disadvantage compared to their fellow men.
tribute Perhaps these days are somehow a way as any other that many people with power to make things fair for everyone - talks Foucault that power is not there, ; is exercised - find sleep at night.

UN in New York off
UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 22 (IPS) - The agenda of the new UN special agency for gender equality and empowerment Women shall be coordinated with the Commission on the Status of Women, who on Tuesday began its annual meeting in New York.
When the General Assembly of the UN (United Nations) decided last July to create a special agency for women, the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it was a decision "historic."
"We entered a new era of UN work for women," he said then, committed to gender equality and women empowerment as one of its "top priority." UN Women
was released in January this year, and is the first agency of its kind with a mandate comprehensive and proposed an annual budget of $ 500 million.
But his creation was relatively late compared with the creation of a number of UN agencies that address a wide variety of topics including population, children, refugees, health, employment, economic development, food and agriculture.
exclusive promotion of gender empowerment by a new UN body came nearly 65 years after the creation of the world forum.
However, the general secretary acknowledged "the hard work and determination of member states" to reach an agreement as well as years of global feminist activism, "which has proved crucial to UN Women come true." However, the agenda of UN Women shall be coordinated with the Commission on the Status of Women, the main intergovernmental policy-making dedicated exclusively to promoting the cause of gender empowerment.  The Committee began its annual session Tuesday, which will run through March 4 in New York and will be the first since the UN was created Women. This time it is expected that government representatives and 1,500 non-governmental organization activists will focus on several key issues related gender. | These include gender equality in science and technology, the elimination of preventable maternal illness, rural women as transmitters of poverty and hunger eradication. And gender equality and sustainable development and the elimination of discrimination and violence against girls.
"Although girls and women have made significant inroads in education, educational attainment have not been fully translated into increased employment opportunities and better quality jobs," says UN Women.
Women face particular barriers, including discriminatory laws, restrictive social norms, limited access to information and social networks, and an unequal share of responsibilities within the household.
Women still account for nearly two thirds of the 759 million illiterate adults, and only 29 percent of researchers in 121 countries. | "What strikes me as significant this year's agenda is less formal and more opportunities around the meetings of the Commission on the Status of Women for Women UN debate, and what they expect both civil society and governments , and what they are willing to do to realize the vision that gave birth, "said Charlotte Bunch, founder and director of the Center for Women's Global Leadership, Rutgers University.
This is a historic moment in a world of possibilities for women: from the movements for democracy in the Middle East, where women are organizing to have a real voice, even greater numbers of women in parliament and as heads State in each region, told IPS.
The new agency "can become a vital force" when push these women to positions of power, "playing an important role in ensuring that you hear the next generation of women leaders, and to help shape the global and national policy decisions, "said Bunch.
According to the UN, the new women's agency have two key roles: to assist intergovernmental bodies like the Commission in formulating policies, standards and global standards, and also help member states to implement those standards.
also provide "appropriate technical and financial support to those countries that require, in addition to forging effective partnerships with civil society."
Ban said that not only work "to end the scourge of violence against women, but also to appoint more women in senior positions in the UN system and promoting" efforts to reduce maternal mortality. "
Bunch, a key activist in gender empowerment, told IPS that the creation of UN Women was a historic step because it established the institutional framework that can place women's rights and gender equality in a more central and powerful role in all programs and policies of the World Forum .
"What we need are visionary plans, specific strategies and resources to realize that the greatest degree possible," he said.
As deputy general secretary of the UN and Executive Director of UN Women, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet (2006-2010) "is itself a powerful example of the new leadership of women in the world," said Bunch. Bunch also
facilitation committee co-chair of an international coalition of NGOs successfully launched a global campaign for the Reform of Architecture for Gender Equality in the UN system.
"What is needed now is that UN Women establish specific mechanisms and multiple" to achieve "the commitment and meaningful participation of civil society" to determine the profile of the work of the new agency, he added.
On financing, Bunch said that member states showed great enthusiasm for UN Women in January, the first meeting of its Executive Board, "but shamefully have not yet committed significant additional funds for their work. "
" Governments have called for a more detailed strategic plan, which will mean the June meeting of the Executive Council, "he added.
But if member states do not provide the necessary support to produce this plan and in particular to put in place to a higher level, have missed a historic moment, once again betraying his promises to women in the world, he said.
