- '''Is maternalist feminism the enemy of women?''' - - The present crisis in feminist studies derives from anti-essentialist beliefs called ''gender theory''. There can't be, according to the doxa, any natural state, any essence of Womanhood, Maternity or Paternity from which to derive ''ought''s and ''should''s in society: far from that, any call to Nature is a veiled attempt to strengthen the patriarchal oppressor. - - - A recent analysis described the eruption of a crisis in 70's feminists: an epidemic of childbirths in women who previously thought of childbearing and child rearing as the epitome of proletarian submissiveness: unpaid work damaging the body, done in total oblivion of the self. - - Around 1980, most of these women had lost their minds and were cuddling little babies and glorifying their animal instincts (some publicly, others with shame). - - This crisis led to the development of the notion of maternalism by feminists who perceive an emptiness in theories that take femininity as a totally contingent, socially constructed entity. A major heresy, a pact of suicide according to most radicals, not to mention postmodern queers, anticapitalist gender theorists, ''e tutti quanti''. Said some trendy feminists: ''How dare you raise to the status of theory our Achilles' heel, maternity''? - - [[include(boxes/maternalism and puerism, right, 100%)]]Maternalists emphasised sensuality, non-verbal communication, nourishing instincts. Their predecessors went from pagan mother Earth cosmologies to Modern times movements, both religious and not, led by women to ease suffering and provide cares -- without waiting for the Great Evening of the proletarian revolution. - - Hypnotized in polarities (a danger of theorizing in an intrinsically polar field of studies, 'man vs. woman' studies), a number of feminists forgot, or pretended not to see, an even more radical problem than that of a postulated all-pervasive domination of Patriarchy in Humanity. A problem which doesn't 'belong' to women only, but that 'they' should reclaim much more. Maternalist feminists started to acknowledged the problem: that of child-rearing, or more generally, that of the definition of the child. His '''''essence'''''. - - And how society is re-created through children. -

With the conformists? Typical paternalist attitude: ''educate'' them! Teach them some lessons -- or teach them ''a'' lesson (then it gets ugly). A lot of social movements factor this in their system, by creating special methods to guide the masses, by a system of self-reinforcing casts. This works wonderfully well, if we take for granted that there will always be masses, that should be guided by elites. - - A maternalist attitude would be centered on the ''ethics of care''. The "masses" makes no sense, under this system. There are only relationships of care that should be cared about, leading to a general dissapearance of those childish behaviours, because in fact all this is nothing but an arrested development. - - These ideas are certainly not revolutionary, but it is their application that prove difficult under paternalism.

	+ + ==Possible examples of a more maternalist society== + What should we do with mindless social automata, pseudo-intellectuals and proud anti-intellectuals? With the conformists? Typical paternalist attitude: ''educate'' them! Teach them some lessons -- or teach them ''a'' lesson (then it gets ugly). A lot of social movements factor this in their system, by creating special methods to guide the masses, by a system of self-reinforcing casts. This works wonderfully well, if we take for granted that there will always be masses, that should be guided by elites. + + A maternalist attitude would be centered on the ''ethics of care''. The "masses" makes no sense, under this system. There are only relationships of care that should be cared about, leading to a general dissapearance of those childish behaviours, because in fact all this is nothing but an arrested development. + + These ideas are certainly not revolutionary, but it is their application that prove difficult under paternalism. Hard to articulate a discourse about the unmet developmental needs of mindless social automata, pseudo-intellectuals and proud anti-intellectuals, and how to meet them!

(We can easily see the fallacy, when we realize that even those who do their worse do their best at it.) + + But that is not the issue: the issue is that one's own 'personal best' for matters as crucial as that of a young life, cannot be dependent on any private feeling or intuition of what's best. Still, nobody would say anything different from this weak excuse. Nobody would say: I did what's best according to what's taught in Universities and valued by my fellow parents. Child rearing is a private issue, one does what feels is best and only fascists would intrude in those matters. + + Education certainly is a public issue of utmost importance in society, and the subject of most high caliber philosophies. But imagine that a population of extraterrestrials arrived en masse on Earth and were to be accepted as our hosts, despite of the fact that their brains and hormone systems are radically different from ours. We would certainly devote enormous resources to the newly created ET studies, so that Humans can live profitably with them. These ETs would lead us to analyze our comparatively more neuron-depleted, axon-enriched brains, our highly structured neural structures, our poorly functioning mirror neurons, our highly catecholaminated blood, etc. + + Nothing of this kind happens with us, the Humans, when faced with the Otherness of our own pre-Humans. Since they'll all become like us eventually, why bother? + + Maternalism posits that the whole of society is Paternalist in its strict sense (fathers dominate mothers), and mothers are relegated to the prison of the private realm. The present system of education owes a lot to the maternalists of the XIXth Century, but, according to proponents of maternalism, society would be totally revolutionized if their way of relating to all things, living or not, epitomized by their relatinship with children (and certainly not only their own), had their fair share in society.
