Today I start a compilation of those indispensable writers, women and mothers, who open our eyes and mind to develop our lives with more security and fullness. And I start with the most interesting and hard of all, Casilda Rodrigáñez Bustos.
There are many books on the market aimed especially for mothers and also for fathers, many of them written by women from the perspective of his motherhood and of deep experiences or knowledge acquired after many years of professional experience, which can help us to face being a family that educates from respect and empathy.
I start with Casilda Rodrigáñez, perhaps the one that involves a denser and more tense reading, full of complex ideas, that addresses femininity and motherhood from an anthropological point of view, developing theories about violence in society and in ourselves that are going to assume a profound convulsion and that, whether or not we agree with their conclusions, will challenge us to think.
The womb of a woman who has not been sexually repressed since childhood, works perfectly, producing pleasure and not pain; but the womb of a woman whose sexuality has been paralyzed since childhood, works in a pathological way and with pain.
Casilda is the author of works such as "The assault on Hades", "We will stop with pleasure" and "The repression of maternal desire and the genesis of the state of unconscious submission." His works can be downloaded from his website directly and also follow many of his reflections.
The origin of violence was in fact already known in primitive patriarchy. The Vikings hung the babies from a tree under the snow, and the Spartans threw them down the mountain, so that the armor of the survivors made them warriors trained for cruelty. They were abrupt forms of freezing of the libidinal system; Now they are more subtle, slow and invisible.
This is a writer and biologist born in Madrid in 1945 and stands out for her antipatriarchal vision of childbirth, motherhood and society in general.
This is the great imposture, the mother of all impostures, the basic dogma that underlies the discourse of domination: to believe that the human being is the virile archetype that has been and is the protagonist of our patriarchal history, a history of war between the sexes, domination, slavery, human suffering and looting. Believing that we are this, that human creatures have an innate tannate, that our children are tyrants, lazy men and lazy people, that the letter only with blood enters, and that the peace of the sexes is only possible through a pact subject to artificial regulation.
We can find it in two pages, Casilda Rodrigáñez and Pulpos and jellyfish. For me it has been one of the hardest and most enlightening readings I have faced and remains a constant source of inspiration.
I will continue doing, after this presentation of Casilda Rodrigáñez, a review at great writers which can, in my opinion, provide much information and reflection to our readers.
