at the university, "dress code" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

The bill submitted by the UMP Eric Ciotti, to ban the headscarf in universities, begins to 
flow from the ink especially in feminist and academic circles. Although Manuel Valls says 
the issue is not yet on the agenda, the vigilance is needed because this is an opportunity 
to stir up nauseating about the students who wear the veil. ---- With the turning of the 
pages of newspapers rather right, we read some stories about tensions which would be 
exposed teachers, forced to face during veiled students, whose numbers would be expanding 
(without any data come and do serious prove). ---- Multiple discrimination ---- In October 
2014, a teacher at Sciences Po Aix-en-Provence found himself under the spotlight, having 
pointed to a student wearing the veil she 'embarrassed his comrades amphi "[1]. Sure of 
his rights in his vast office, the teacher ensures that the student would be "manipulated" 
and that it "is pitiful." Students witnessed the scene seem rather annoyed-es by the 
attitude of the teacher, who is deemed moved by many of them and them.

Last February, a temporary teacher in charge of a course on insurance law expresses its 
hostility to religious symbols in the public space, with him, the delicacy not to shout at 
the student directly. That said, being the only person in a veiled promotion fifteen 
students, she could not help but take note for her.

The teacher then informed the training manager for refusing to give over to a veiled 
student, after which the Presidency has suspended the teacher, since the law allows the 
veil in universities (and therefore prohibits the discriminatory attitude) .

At ESPE Créteil, claiming that students are future-es teachers, a group of trainers 
probably affected in their secularism, asked the institution to take action against veiled 
students. An application which has fortunately been rejected, including through the 
mobilization of students with Solidarity.

Based on these testimonies of lay teachers is being defenders of republican values, UMP 
deputy Eric Ciotti filed last February a bill to ban the headscarf in universities, 
extending the higher education provisions of the 2004 law on the wearing of conspicuous 
religious symbols in schools and colleges. The bill does not yet appear on the agenda are 
a priori students wearing the veil can at least finish their academic year.

Combining feminism and anti-racism

However, the positions of each others are worrying about it: we are not surprised to see 
Sarkozy support such a measure. But one wonders how representatives of the International 
League of Women Law (in this case Annie Sugier President and Secretary Linda Weil-Curiel) 
went on to sign a dependent tribune against feminist academics criticizing the draft law 
and advocating excluding universities of some women ... in the name of women's rights[2].

As for Pascale Boistard, Secretary of State for Women's Rights, it does not rule openly in 
favor of a law, while expressing "not favorable" to the headscarf in universities.

Whatever one thinks of what symbolizes the veil, we can not endorse the establishment of 
an additional discrimination for a fraction of students, minority on campuses. As to lend 
them anti-feminist views, would it be primarily discussed with them, and especially to 
remember that nobody has a monopoly of reactionary opinions.

The Alternative libertarian position on this is clear: neither law nor veil , which means 
that we are fighting all laws that exclude veiled women from the public space, while 
vis-à-vis critical of what may symbolize the veil. But at a time when women are physically 
and verbally abused for wearing the veil, it is urgent to tint our feminist
intersectionality and seek to form struggles against the reactionary forces, religious or 
not, that mean women how they should dress and behave.

WHAT THE INTERSECTIONALITY?

This concept is an issue of American sociology, specifically a feminist and black American 
sociologist Kimberly Creenshaw, and movement of black feminists ( "black feminism ).

From a theoretical point of view, this is to understand how the multiple discrimination 
that some people can live produce new oppressions, eg a black sociologist is discriminated 
as a woman, and as black, which instead in a different situation of oppression of his 
neighbor who is a cashier but white and therefore discriminated against as a woman and as 
a proletarian.

In practice, this means that feminist struggles must take into account the different 
situations of women and not to refer to the dominant category of women, namely the white 
upper classes. This does not mean that we must fight each of our side, but together 
against all forms of discrimination that women experience, whether related to their 
sexuality, religion, skin color, social class ...

... And hang them rapists and pimps with capitalist guts, ministers and senators! ---- 
Macron Act, the minister "who would fight instead of waiting, if unemployed" just push 
through a law that, among other assaults on the world of work, will increase the right of 
employers to the work employed trade on Sundays, reduce medical visits, attacking the 
tribunal and what remains of the employment contract. The right to the government made ​​ 
some gifts for morals (more distress for the right to abortion, marriage toustes ...) to 
better increase the exploitation of workers first and closing abortion or family Schedules 
centers in the name of fiscal restraint. ---- DSK affair: Prostitutes testify in court 
rapes they have suffered, and he will not be convicted. Besides, it's only a "a little 
rough sex," he says. And everyone cares. The Chief junk claims, poor little innocent thing 
he did not know that they were prostitutes, he thought of young libertine agreed to be 
raped because of her charm.

Senators finally come to put the law to prevent and exit prostitution on their agenda. 
They have tried to make it disappear, but the context made ​​it impossible. This is not 
won so far, there is still plenty of ways to not vote. And then it will be easy not to 
give him the means of its ambitions. Austerity, debt, savings to be ... on the backs of 
the poor and women.

Far right: The FN is slowly making its hole through the antisocial measures repeatedly and 
taking advantage of the inertia of social movements that remain partially frozen pending 
traditional political solutions (but where is the right man - who can be a woman?) and the 
wait-called progressive parties engaged in hunting positions.

Sexism: The political "left" (extreme or not) went into raptures at the Greek government 
where there is yet no woman.

Racism: Migrants are increasingly unpopular in France (or rather not received). More 
asylum for women raped and beaten in the Democratic Republic of Congo, most asylum for 
endangered girls mothers excision, more housing ...

All this is only a very partial account of the catastrophic situation in France. The rest 
of the world does the same desperate plight of women.

We will be in the streets on March 8 to scream our anger. But we are also in feminist 
struggles every day. And we must be in union and political struggles, to push the 
antipatriarchal combat. To finally bring down the system that lives the exploitation of 
women and uses violence to compel them.

France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Feminism, Certainly, we do not have the same humor - Mr. Wolinski -- Feminists have no sense of humor is well known (fr)

Already in 2011, they had not realized that the traditional cup of the Feast of the Huma 
obviously contained a naked woman, smiling, four legs, flower ass (posture we adopt love 
several times a day), c 'was twisting! The author of this collector: Wolinski, the 
designer who loves women (yes, yes, it is he who says so!) ---- Illustration for a cup in 
2011. ---- And now they are at it again this year, still sealed in the Gallic spirit, so 
rebellious. The object of the offense: postcards Left Front against the pension reform, 
distributed to the list of portraits and signed again Wolinski. ---- Visual necessarily 
validated by a team of communicators, which boasts so uninhibited an archaic vision of 
gender relations, women's bodies embodying a material good men as would be entitled to a 
pension.

Back, one man and two women (Chabada bada) - an elderly man, voluntarily represented very 
moderately well done, blending the two dripping ass hotties sexitude. A man and two women 
dressed, obviously willing and rather bare, to illustrate that life begin at 60. Life, so 
the pleasure of men, QED.


Illustration for the defense of pensions in 2013.

Sexism, like those who franchouillardes BD for heroes perverse granddads drooling with 
envy at bimbos not necessarily shy. Funny ... yeah, blah! Except that we are talking about 
the politics of a large party left for his campaign against the pension reform communication.

Therefore neither career women wish or decent retirement, their only aspiration is to be 
put out to the buttocks by a libidinous retired?

So girls, what's the problem? If we can not laugh! It is the country of Rabelais, is not 
it? Leave your leagues under and above ... Remember that feminism is a struggle for equal 
rights has never deprived a man of his fundamental rights, contrary to masculinism, and 
has never killed anyone, unlike machismo.
