Overview
«En el mucho tiempo que llevo en la cosa pública, de manera periférica, puedo afirmar que conozco muy bien a las mujeres de México. El feminismo silencioso es suyo y mío. No hemos necesitado mayores discusiones para saber que merecemos equidad, solidaridad, oportunidades, un “por favor” permanente, un “gracias” eterno».
En este ensayo, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, quien cuenta con una reconocida trayectoria académica, se interroga sobre ideas fundamentales en torno al feminismo y cómo estas la atraviesan en su condición de mujer, en particular, por encontrarse como tal bajo el escrutinio público. De igual forma, resignifica y actualiza tres conceptos, con los cuales fundamenta el feminismo silencioso: el silencio como una forma de hablar, la transferencia y la resistencia. Considera que la mayor parte de las mujeres de México son capaces de remontar circunstancias adversas y —en cualquier caso— que escuchan, comprenden, interpretan; pero también batallan y toman decisiones importantes todos los días. No hay, insiste, mujeres de primera ni de segunda.
«El feminismo silencioso es, por sobre todas las cosas, un homenaje a las mujeres ignoradas. Para que jamás olviden el gran poder que tienen»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"In the long time that I have been in public affairs, in a peripheral way, I can affirm that I know the women of Mexico very well. Silent feminism is hers and mine. We have not needed further discussions to know that we deserve equity, solidarity, opportunities, a permanent 'please', an eternal 'thank you'".
In this essay, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, who has a recognized academic career, questions fundamental ideas about feminism and how these affect her as a woman, in particular, because she is under public scrutiny as such. In the same way, she resignifies and updates three concepts, with which silent feminism is based: silence as a way of speaking, transference and resistance. She considers that most women in Mexico are capable of overcoming adverse circumstances and, in any case, that they listen, understand, and interpret; but they also struggle and make important decisions every day. There are no women, she insists, first or second class women.
"Silent feminism is, above all things, a tribute to ignored women. So that they never forget the great power they have".
