Reflections on the role of women and beauty in the society:
1. From the film “Iron Jawed Angels”:
“You asked me to explain what we are fighting. I wonder what
is to explain. It should be clear. Searches at the bottom of your heart, mine is not different.
You want a profession that would enable it to
make a living? ME TOO.
You want to have the right to speak
freely and meet your ambitions? ME TOO.
You want to have the
right to say your opinion about who governs? ME TOO.
I wonder what
is to understand. “

“We are legitimate citizens. We pay taxes without someone there
represents in Parliament. We are not allowed to be part of a jury, not
We are judged by our peers. It is shameful, not to say
unconstitutional.
We do not make laws but we must obey as
children. “
2. From the book “Mädchen Gute kommen in den Himmel, böse überall hin” by Ute Ehrhardt:
The biggest obstacle that women must overcome is to want pleasure at all costs. To do this they renounce the affirmation of self, independence, power. Increasingly turn away from themselves. They don’t expect any circumstances in respect of others. This situation will remain so until women will guide on the basis of the thought of others and not on their own wishes and ideas.
For many women, beauty is more important than self-respect. She wants pleasure even if she humiliates. The women, good sex. That trap is in front of every woman beyond may she find her strength, autonomy, respect for self. The price of entry is their femininity and their beauty. So women humiliate herselves behind the mask of smile. The consequence is that they aren’t be taken seriously. They renounce at the power and autonomy.

3. From the book “nosotras que nos queremos tanto” by Marcela Serrano:
A free woman have to pay high costs while a free man collects only praise. A woman without a man is considered a woman of all men. They believe that the power of women is rooted only in his capacity of seduction.
The time is therefore only for men. If his power is in the public sphere, this power would last a lifetime. While our power disappears with menopause and wrinkles.
