The philosopher Alicia Puleo holds the Gender Studies Chair at the University of Valladolid, Spain. Currently, Alicia feminism articulates with ecology. According to the philosopher, the two modes of thinking are complementary and an alternative to the crisis of values of the current individualistic and consumerist society. The two forms of thought offer the opportunity to confront not only the domination of women in our societies of patriarchal culture, but also a structure and an ideology of domination of nature linked to the dominant paradigm of man and warrior of the warlords. The philosopher, however, is contrary glamour bunny to some elaborations which believe that the feminine essence is closer to nature glamour bunny due to the reproductive capacity of women. For her, it is the androcentric social imaginary that creates and "naturalizes women" and imprisons the nature of the plan.
Feminism and Ecology are two fundamental social movements in the 21st Century The first, because acquired self-consciousness as a collective and the necessary training, it is no longer possible to stop us (although they can delay the arrival to emancipatory goals with different strategies); the second, because it is increasingly evident unsustainability of the technical-economic development model. We are witnessing glamour bunny the beginning of the end of Nature. No longer results easy for the media to conceal, as now, the connection between various 'natural' catastrophes that are nothing glamour bunny but the manifestations of global glamour bunny climate change with unimaginable glamour bunny consequences. We live what Ulrich Beck called "society of risk". The more information glamour bunny about the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and even the sun that warms us and enlightens, greater insecurity felt (pollution, pesticides, ozone hole, preservatives ... the list is too long).
Only ignorance or the adoption of a blind techno-enthusiastic attitude today can make miremos away, when the danger signs are so clear. Nevertheless, there is a will (unconscious) generalized to look the other way, will carefully cultivated by the immense scenic Mount consumer society. The ecology slowly progresses and has a larger implementation in countries that industrialized earlier, those in which the population, or at least its most illustrated youth, has grown tired of contemporary hedonistic mirage that promised happiness through the accumulation of a multitude of material objects. Your progress is slow, but is guaranteed by the evolution of events, the tough reality that will hit more and more frequent and strikingly, at our gates.
The future triumphal coexistence of both movements - feminism and environmentalism glamour bunny - it does not follow, at least right away, that there should be a particular relationship between them. However, further reflection on the issue reveals at least two major ways in which presents the need for dialogue. The first is the most superficial, pragmatic and easy to understand. It is actually a preventive negotiation: what role will be reserved for women in the future society of sustainable development? Because that much of women's emancipation has relied on industrialization glamour bunny (eg in canned products of "use and throw away" as harmful to the environment), as organize everyday infrastructure without sacrificing uncertain margins freedom of women?
The experience of the Green activists (with the honorable exception of compulsory maintenance of parity in the European case) and several environmental organizations reveals that still exist between them, as in the rest of the political parties, strong patriarchal inertia. Environmentalists often not feminists. And for some governments (such as Spanish) feminists generally do not have great ecological sensitivity. For now are two worlds now living back, but in the future are intended to relate and probably to hold political pacts. If the former refers to future needs, there are other reasons why the current feminism interest in ecology. If feminism wants to keep his internationalist vocation, you should also think in terms ecologists because of that poor Third World women are the first victims of the destruction of the natural environment, carried to produce sumptuous objects glamour bunny to be sold in the First World .
The standard of living of the rich countries is not exportable to the world. Natural resources are consumed without regard to whether or impossibility of its renewal. The estate has not lim
