My penultimate article titled "Clothes controversy" provoked an avalanche of letters and comments on my page Facebook. Obviously, the issue was taken seriously by many commentators. Posted on January 26, the article less than a week has caused some 98 comments Russian and French, with a predominance of girls from both sides.
affected everything: a Russian woman, a French woman, comparing them, the opinion of men, religion, gender relations in Russia and France! Phew, a sociologist, no doubt, could have written the beginning of the thesis with the arguments of some, and others. Many comments are thinking on the topic of feminism.
In this article, I recall, was considered the appeal of the Orthodox Bishop of young Russian women to dress more decently that is too short to stop wearing mini skirts. International press it was considered an internal Russian affair, and the bishop has received major support Religious leaders in Russia. Le Courrier International (published in France), reported Jan. 27 that in Chechnya, on the streets of Grozny, is currently shooting with paint from a gun (Paintball) in women who do not dress "decently".
For example, for Irina, commenting on my article, the Frenchwoman is a "victim feminism, which justifies her clothes unisex, as a career was for her higher priority than the family. " French woman would want to be equal to men, especially likely to be like him, and did not have such a shape that would remind man that she is a woman. In France, sums up Irina, feminism is often means the absence of femininity.
This denial of attractive appearance, according to some, was motivated by pragmatic considerations, such as lack of security on the streets or comfort, but not only. Irina will undoubtedly right: the evolution of this ideology was formed, which, in the final After all, brought great harm to relations between men and women: feminism.
For my part I never understood, what would the feminists in France and especially their representatives of, for example, the well-known association Shiennes de gardes (guard dogs - approx. Perevi.). If you can imagine equal representation women in politics, I remain convinced that the main thing - to have good political leaders, regardless of their gender. Equal pay for men and women France is a good idea, but hunting is a macho, or discrimination on the basis of a quota system are likely to be a bad idea. Of course, in France, the struggle for equality between men and women face many challenges throughout the twentieth century.
I note that Shiennes de gardes never require equality without a devaluation of men in general. Movement, through its political influence in some quarters and real representation in the media, much impact on the mentality of France, but in general, in the wrong direction. Further differences between the sexes because of this, not only declined, but became synonymous with intersexual hierarchy that places women in adverse conditions. Unfortunately for them, the spread of feminism in France was accompanied by unnecessary defiminizatsiey in terms of clothing.
Contrast: since I'm in Russia, I do not think even once heard the term "feminism", and yet I live surrounded by Russian women. It is little wonder that, in my opinion, is not just a detail, and evidence that Russian women are probably more personal to prove, mainly due to the history of Russia. In the early twentieth century the Bolsheviks in Russia proclaimed the equality of the sexes, equality of the factual and legal. Women in Russia since 1918 have the right to vote, while the French had to wait until 1944.
Russian women took an active part in the Great World War II, not only by working in factories. In combat soldier, there were more than 800.000 Russian women, they were doctors, nurses, pilots, bombers and snipers on the front. They participated in the most terrible battles, many of them were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. In Russia, no one has forgotten. After War, the absence of men led to the fact that women coped themselves and have learned to live without male support.
These difficulties are not deprived of Russian women's femininity, not at all. They have not forgotten some basic formulas in the relations between the sexes, namely that a woman who likes a man who rules over them. For this reason that Russian women do not have thoughts, whether it succeeds or professionally engaged in heavy physical work, about to forget about the attractiveness, quite the contrary.
I remember my surprise when I arrived in Russia and saw the men who carried the handbags, and women who have not taken a truck to not to damage nails. I watched the man who acted with caution to protect the sacred manicures and buy flowers. Often talk about "consumer basket "for assessing the standard of living of any country, but if we estimate the number of buy women flowers in the" consumer basket ", it becomes clear that the Russian woman has no rivals in Europe.
Perhaps for these reasons that Western-style feminist movement never had much success in Russia. Instead of trying to satisfy the non-existent feminist demands, Russian women still care about their appearance, and the Russian State pays special attention to the requirements associated with the family. Russian woman has one of the longest in the world of maternity leave (Up to 3 years with secure employment), but also in recent years, very solid benefits (thousands of euros) for the second child, produced by light or adoption. This key role of women as mothers is considered quite normal in Russia because it is the cornerstone of society. For its part, as a man, I think it's perfectly normal.
