MANIFESTO FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ON 08-03-2022 BY TRADE UNION INTERATIONAL ( PENSIONERS & RETIREES).

On the occasion of the celebration of March 8, Working Women’s Day, this year 2022 we observe the evolution that the situation of women in the world has undergone, and the transformations that the concepts of gender and sex have been undergoing for some time. .From the “Second sex” we pass to the analytical category of “gender”, and the use and abuse of gender created the need to advance in the analysis of material and economic conditions, which cause the imposition of roles and stereotypes, with which patriarchy and capitalism oppress us.

It is important to remember that, since its introduction in feminist studies, gender has been accompanied by the demand for its abolition. As from socialist studies the class category was coined, to abolish it.It is not surprising that capitalism, in its wild neoliberal phase, has allied itself with the usual patriarchy and has financed its current disguise. Between the two they have constructed a retrograde discourse with a progressive appearance that floods the media and minds, at a speed that demonstrates the lie of that supposed revolutionary progress. Never has a revolution had the material means to lead it to success so quickly.And so that the analysis does not progress along the lines of material and economic conditions, they take a step back and take advantage of the ground fertilized by the abuse of the term gender, which had already permeated society and institutions uncritically.

Uncritically generalizing the word gender has allowed the shell game in which we find ourselves: the intentional confusion of sex with gender, which erases the first and replaces it with the second, to convert subjective desires into rights, to the detriment of objective rights. of equality between women and men , achieved through the long struggle against capitalism and patriarchy.This is a desperate reaction of capitalism dying by its very nature and patriarchy cornered by brave and massive feminist movements around the world.For all these reasons, women:

WE DO NOT ACCEPT personal empowerment as a solution to our state. WE FIGHT for our collective emancipationWE DO NOT WANT to remain trapped in the supposed privileges of our “gender”, BUT TO ABOLISH GENDER AND CLASS, and their consequences of inequalities and slavery.

Consequently, we are abolitionists of prostitution, wombs for rent, pornography and everything related to the sex industry.WE DO NOT ACCEPT being womb-bearing people, or pregnant people, as the new market for generic identities intends, for the benefit of the global gender industry.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT a world in which the feminization of poverty is increasing. Poverty that is the origin of so much violence against women. Not only those who are sexually useful to the sex and gender industries, but also those who continue to care in their old age or those who continue to fight since their youth and are now attacked for it.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT the patriarchal canons of beauty that impose hypersexualization on young women and ridicule those who, when they grow old, refuse to accept the passage of time, because the canon requires youth.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT the devaluation of our experience in old age.WE DO NOT ACCEPT an old age without sufficient resources for a decent life.WE DO NOT ACCEPT being disqualified or excluded from important political leadership positions for the sole reason of being women.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT being held responsible for the oppression we suffer, nor for the reasons we have to organize collectively to be erased, nor for inequalities to be covered up by erasing us from the statistical records, by eliminating disaggregation by sex.From our experience of shared lives and from our world organization we are willing to fight for a dignified life for all women of age to enjoy a dignified retirement, in this generation and the following ones. The young generations are our daughters and granddaughters. For your future and our present,

WE DO NOT ACCEPT the new two-headed onslaught of CAPITALISM AND THE PATRIARCHY.ALL TOGETHER WE WILL GET TO ERADICATE THEM. !!!!
