In different societies there is a series of implicit rules about the action that each individual must role to play in society, rules derived mainly based on the anatomy of each individual. This is where the gender divide emerges based on archetypes that are pinned to both the individual and the collective unconscious.
This essay takes up the hypothesis that both femininity and masculinity are cultural products and, like all cultural products, genera that are classified respond to arbitrary and conventional notions that can be changed if so decided by the society. Given how vast the subject is addressed only some of the most entrenched stereotypical models in the case of females and can therefore serve as an example a witness from the magazine Women and Society, quoted in The worm and the fruit of the writer and anthropologist Milagros Palma:
In Piura for the woman to give birth to empty wooden box where she has her jewels and property valued. If this does not accelerate delivery, she hands out flowers, candy or bread among children in the community. If the process remains slow.
As pointed out by the author cited in this brief testimony we can see how very subtly alludes to a renunciation of wealth by women, symbolized in the act of getting rid of its most precious jewels and property, symbolized resignation turn as needed to achieve a good that is symbolized in turn as more and more desirable than material goods, the motherhood. And the resignation is passed to the offerings, although the waiver is a form of offering, and these two elements, renunciation and sacrifice, suggest the need for expiation of guilt, guilt that lies at the woman's sexual enjoyment , enjoyment he must have had at the time of giving birth to child who is about to give birth, his suffering in childbirth and the disclaimers and taxes that have to do are part of the price to pay for that enjoyment abuse admissible only to the male.
And in women is frowned upon reproductive function in terms of perpetuation of the species but not in terms of sexual pleasure can lock it, and so, while praising motherhood censorship sexual enjoyment relegating the role of women in the incubator to reach their full realization only when they can fulfill this role that society has been charged and that many come to be the only or at least, the strongest reason for their existence .
Motherhood thus becomes the inescapable destiny of every woman if it really wants to be recognized as such in society. Because after childhood has passed, a woman who is not Mom's a unfinished, incomplete, because it has not complied with the primary function of his existence that is motherhood. Motherhood itself implies one of the greatest attributes "? granted to women in virtually all societies, their capacity for self-sacrifice, renunciation, suffering. Who
for example in our country has not heard of "the mother suffered Peruana" which is very nearly a national emblem which all (and all) should feel very proud. Or who in our country has not seen excessive that pays tribute to motherhood, women who redeems virtually any guilt, not only for original guilt, but otherwise, it can be a prostitute, robber or murderer, no matter, because if the mother is above any other that is not, no matter if the other is a doctor, literate or Nobel Peace Prize. Mothers have a special place in our society, no matter what kind of mothers are, what matters is that they are. Motherhood is
addition to all that is perhaps the only effective way to tame women and ensure the prevalence of male power. If women were not somehow "forced" by society and its unwritten rules to comply with a biological function, in addition to pay the social implications that this holds, it should be rather optional, surely many of them devote great part of their lives to cultivate a personal and professional development that will undoubtedly put them in a more equal footing in terms of fields of power with men.
Unfortunately for now seems distant day when society, led mostly by men, dare to see the real benefits would stop exploiting the subject women and based on their biological characteristics and decides to conduct a demystification of motherhood. For now, women who have decided to dedicate their lives to things other than motherhood and women continue to remain incomplete. No matter how many awards and international recognition in their home may have a woman in the house if there is also a son, will hardly be seen by the rest with a tinge of pity because does not know "the largest that a woman" that is, being a mother.
