The female body is devalued by a "repeated indecent representation of women as ostentatious naked traded sex offered by newspapers, television, advertising. "So stated the call for mobilization" if not now when, "but I'd be curious to know what kind of value you want linked to the sexual dignity of women. feminists of the golden years in their magazine "Effe" - May 1976 - spoke of a sexual "free, active, which also aims to another, and can not be content with a gender that takes place only in the sphere intimate and private. Sexuality quietly admitting some differences, which states its possible "deviations", which confess without fear. "
From this definition, the step in the naked female "as an object of sexual exchange" is not so long: what is, in fact, the dignity of the female body after sexual liberation 35 years ago advocated by feminists of "Effe"?
Nothing, unless you want to argue that the only freedom is to do as he pleases. But then the wind of the "forbidden to forbid" was very violent, for example in 1967 in Florence, the congress of the Radical Party, was distributed a leaflet in which it was written that "the company pushes to criticize his authoritarianism the individual's right to freely dispose of his body, to enjoy the sensual pleasure. "
all began in the roaring 60's where the wings of the philosophy of Marcuse is theorized that freeing the instincts could eliminate both the domain and authority, they were kind of family, civil or religious.
During those years talking about virginity, underwear, contraceptives and positions of the Kama Sutra becomes a matter of course, on the wings of the battle for a strong female characters appear several signs that testify to the new way of being women, such as short skirts and tights, to burn the bra and the appearance of the first topless in Saint Tropez in 1970. In those years the psychiatric theorizing the sexual revolution gave manforte the need for "scientific" of this liberation of the individual, the English psychoanalyst David Cooper spoken to the women stated that they can love another being provided only to love themselves totally to the point of actually masturbating to orgasm.
So in 1973 the book "Donnie - Chronicles of feminism Roman" page. 7 is written the slogan "if we have children we want," consistent with the idea that the pleasure of the body has nothing to do with conception. We are obviously poles apart from the number recorded in 1968 the encyclical letter Humanae Vitae of Pope Paul VI pointed out where the inseparable link between the unitive and procreative sexual activity, it is no coincidence that the battle for abortion and contraception takes effect precisely from those areas of the liberation of female sexuality. And 'the 1975 closure of the famous "practice" CISA Florence (Italian Centre for Sterilization abortion) founded by Adele and I ended up under arrest for which the then twenty-seven Emma Bonino. From all these battles
perhaps the only thing that was truly "liberated" is the idolatry of the pleasure an end in itself, comes a strange concept of freedom then is paradoxically also met with some capitalist hedonism.
Morality is based on what you believe, but I would dare say that is rooted in the subject of our prayers. In this respect the above mentioned book "Woman ..." (1973) is this sentence: "if we ever will want to pray this will be our prayer: Mother I thank you for making me a woman." Amen.
