The mass angry rush hour dragged me to the bottom of the wagon. When the train began his march and I had managed to get hold of a suitable space, I took out my book and continued reading. I stopped attending sharply to text noticing that he felt rubbing against my buttocks was only a passenger bag, some beaten. I saw bags, but not suspicious behavior in men who were traveling icab behind me, so I tried to resume reading. However, the friction continued after a few minutes and this time I let it advance to confirm my suspicions. The hand snuck up rubbing my pussy and that was when I turned around and sure aggression and hit the back of the infamous, I ripped the headphones with pretending to be abstracted from their environment, I insulted icab and wished her a violent death. Although the whole car yelled for why my outburst, no one sympathized with me. Everyone looked at me like I was an unbalanced man, the helpless victim of a violent crazy.
That day I cried all the way to the office where she worked. When I told him what had happened icab I received comments ranging icab from "is normal, it happens to all" a "that you get for walking so pretty". Then I felt the outrage was continued, that aggression would not stop there, because it is extremely violent not find solidarity from your peers but that incredible tendency to naturalize consider macho aggression or provocation icab result of causes for the simple fact of being woman or have certain physical traits icab or dress a certain way. It could not be otherwise, I worked in an office where the sexist icab attacks were the daily bread because the organizational and hierarchical patriarchal structure was mined vices. At that point, icab I had not only suffered icab "street harassment" but something icab much more complex: I was the victim of male violence. A male violence exerted not only the man who put his hand between my legs but exerted all passengers in the car who chose to ignore my complaint and look at me with contempt. icab Domestic violence who also exercised my office mates to naturalize that event or culpabilizarme for him. It is perfectly clear that women never reach us raise slogans against the so-called "street harassment" if we do not fight to dismantle an entire structure icab of patriarchal violence.
But what is the first image that comes to our minds when we hear the phrase "street harassment"? It is safest to fill our imaginary verbal icab assaults on women passers by construction workers or indeed unauthorized users of public icab transport between touching. The truth is that slogans against street icab harassment almost always leave out a structural analysis of violence and are limited to a highly class perspective where machismo of the worker, the worker using the subway, is the only thing to fight . Nothing is said of the institutional machismo machismo exercising officials, employers, managers, military. About this bureau chief recruiting young women emotionally and psychologically manipulate them, bring them to bed and then make them complicit in corruption, nothing will be said in protests against street harassment. The slogans against street harassment neglect the necessary questioning of the violence they are subjected many women workers neglects gender-based violence affecting children, the lesbian for being lesbian, gay for being gay, the transexual for being transsexual. Reduce the fight against gender violence icab to battle against street harassment is a deeply icab class act that ends up distorting icab the image of the true objective destroy, which is none other than the patriarchal capitalist system.
The class bias that support many of the campaigns against street harassment icab also allow advertising as titled "Hungry Builders" Snickers, which basically macho behavior associated with hunger workers arise. Or the "social icab experiments" in which a woman "is disguised as workers" to compliment passers men. Can we be revolutionary feminists are in favor of this kind of reasoning? Honestly, I do not think so. The class bias also give rise to new initiatives
