O patriarcado joga pesado para manter o controle perante aquilo que o desafia – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O patriarcado usa de formas pejorativas para manter o controle de tudo aquilo que possa lhe parecer uma ameaça.

Como é sabido, a base do controle mais comum a respeito da mulher em nossa sociedade, dar-se justamente, através de maneiras que aprisiona essa mulher as normas que elas devem obedecerem, por serem mulheres. Se você me pergunta quais são essas formas, eu dou o exemplo de duas delas: pressão e violência. Crie um estopim bem elaborado que logo, aparece o resultado. Ora, Marii mas do que você fala? O medo sempre foi um meio de controle eficaz. E isso é antigo, vem dos nossos costumes, onde se dizia a uma mulher o seguinte: ” se você agir dessa forma, vai acontecer ” isto e ” aquilo ” , é o que você deseja? A partir do silêncio, a resposta, soa muito clara. É óbvio que, a pressão que a mulher sofria, já servia de requisito para a mesma pergunta não ser feita duas vezes. Você compreende a sensação de desamparado das mulheres? Mais, o estigma, a desvalorização e em muitos casos, a criminalização. Tudo isso aliado, a culpa- claro, era preciso haver o consentimento e aceitação por parte delas, imposto pelo masculino. Então, todo esse “jogo sujo” de impor modelos de comportamento são formas de controle. Quer outro exemplo do que falo? Chamá- las de loucas, más, problemáticas  mal amadas, infelizes, bem como tantas formas pejorativas de tratá- las, são maneiras de castigos e formas de produzir sanções, as que não se adequaram/ adequam a essas regras. Ao desviar o foco daquilo que não conseguem manter o controle, eles negam também o direito ao principal as essas mulheres- a sua autonomia. O direito de falar, pensar, questionar o que acaba por desumanizar e tolhir a sua liberdade. As mulheres são/foram/ e continuam sendo constamente nomeadas, descritas e definidas conforme a lógica patriarcal. Quando eu cito em autonomia, refiro-me ao fato de não ser dado a elas o poder de decidir o que é melhor ou aquilo que atende às suas necessidades.

US poll shows fair amount of common ground on preventive COVID-19 steps | CIDRAP

A new poll from researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the de Beaumont Foundation shows that, despite news coverage that painted Americans as deeply divided on COVID-19 mitigation strategies, including mask wearing, there was significant common ground on these strategies in hindsight.

During the pandemic, “The media made it seem there were huge swaths of population that were unreachable,” said Gillian SteelFisher, PhD, an author of the report and director of global polling in the Harvard Opinion Research Program and principal research scientist at Harvard Chan School in an interview.

Masking in businesses gets 70% support

SteelFisher said the polling results actually show a much more nuanced and cohesive understanding of public health efforts. Of note, most Americans said four main pandemic strategies were “generally a good idea,” including mask requirements in stores and businesses (70%), healthcare worker vaccination requirements (65%), indoor dining closures (63%), and K-12 public school closures (56%). 

Only 20% of those polled said all four main strategies were “generally a bad idea,” while 42% said all four were a good idea and 37% said only some were a good idea.

“Overall, a majority of people thought each of the policies were a good idea, that there’s merit here,” said SteelFisher.

“Overall, a majority of people thought each of the policies were a good idea, that there’s merit here.

The poll was conducted from March 21 to April 2, 2024, and included 1,017 adults.

Differences by political party, race

Black (62%) and Hispanic/Latino (55%) adults were more likely than white adults (32%) to say that all of the four main pandemic policies were a good idea, as were people living in urban areas (55%) compared with those living in suburban (39%) and rural (29%) areas, the poll showed.

There were clear political divides as well: 71% of Democrats and those who lean Democrat say all four policies were a good idea, compared with 44% of Independents and 18% of Republicans and those who lean Republican.

For people who said they thought masks were a bad idea, 87% believed the policy was flawed because it went on too long, and 85% said it was an issue of individual rights.

Among the 413 poll respondents who thought school closures were a generally bad idea, 97% said closures interfered with learning and 91% said they impaired students’ mental health.

COVID denial rare

SteelFisher said one of the more surprising findings from the poll was that only 3% of people said COVID-19 was not a health threat to anyone early in the pandemic.

“There were so many media stories about COVID deniers,” said SteelFisher. “But there were actually very few.” Instead, 14% of those polled said COVID was a serious health threat only to people who are very old or frail, 45% said COVID-19 was a serious health threat to more people, including people who are very old or frail as well as those with underlying medical conditions, and 37% said it was a serious health threat to everyone early on.

People have really reasonable thoughts on what works and what didn’t.

SteelFisher said the poll results suggest public health officials need to focus on communicating the time frame of proposed policies in future pandemics, and focus on connecting with the population.

“There are more divisions created than are real,” said SteelFisher. “These are hard lessons for public health: People have really reasonable thoughts on what works and what didn’t.”

Grade 3 students ‘terrorized’ after Ontario man walks into gym class, goes on tirade | Globalnews.ca

A man accused of entering a Hamilton, Ont., mosque and uttering slurs at a grade three gym class has been charged with criminal harassment in what police are describing as a “hate crime.”

Investigators allege the 54-year-old local man entered the building through an open door around noon on Friday and walked right into a classroom.

Once there, investigators say he made hate-related comments and ripped up an English copy of the Quran he brought with him to the York Boulevard address.

Executives with Hamilton’s Downtown Mosque said teachers and students were “terrorized” by the intrusion, and that one of their staff members ended up escorting the man out of the facility.

They called the incident “unacceptable” and insisted the matter “threatened the safety” of children.
