What was said about Fabiola Yañez's pregnancy

The pregnancy of Fabiola Yañez, "the first lady", caused all kinds of talk, revolt where hijxs without signed marriage, jokes about paternity and infidelity, the traditional family as a model, the binary question about female sex and sexuality asreproductive turns the heart of the news.

It could, however, not ignore the terminology that has been encasilla for more or less 170 years to the couples of the male presidents.One of the versions is Made in USA by Martha dandrige Custis, a young twenty -year.

At 26, Martha married George Washington, the same as 1 dollar tickets.The term began to be used many years after his death, but "Lady Washington" is considered, according to this version, the first lady in history.A role that should be abolished: archaic, aristocratic and classist lexicon that became custom and part of the so -called "protocol and ceremonial" of presidentialist models without any legal framework.

Such is so, whoever wants to give up the protocol can only state it.There is nothing to sign or seal.One of those who in recent history renounced the role of "First Lady" was Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller during López Obrador's mandate in Mexico.The other, Cristina Fernández, before being twice president, and fulfilling her mandate as a senator during the government of Nestor Kirchner, the first lady did not enter anywhere.

There is no doubt that the head of the Ranka Alto pregnancies, more within the government on duty.But the instrumentalization of pregnancy or family is historical: the presidential image improves or worsenschildbirth and the belly looks more, people will begin to shudder and soften ”.Maternity has no reason to be silent, respected births realize it, and neither has to be far from the imaginary of power to be a resource that sensitizes the people.

But beyond the clustered or not the presidential image improves, there is a cross between the waters in which this terminology of a woman's model navigates, predisposed to help, a husband's companion and person in charge of family care-Carnada in the last government of Macri by Juliana Awada- and the debates that pregnancy puts into play.

Something that is not very common in presidential couples, but it is common for them to take a different relief from the perspective of maternity or paternity.A relevant case is that of the current New Zealand Prime.

The questions about his motherhood came out long before his electoral triumph when a New Zealand journalist asked him about his desire to maternize: "New Zealand has the right to know if his prime minister will be taken leave by maternity," said the journalist.Would anyone ask that question to a male candidate?Arden at that time he replied: “It is totally unacceptable in 2017 to say that women have to answer that question in their workplace.The decision of a woman about when she wants to have children should not predetermine whether or not they are offered a job ".Second decade of the 21st century and arden that in order for you to be hired, you are still tied to age and the possibilities of your performance in the event that you choose the path of motherhood.Even if work is to be president.

For men the rod is different: at the beginning of this century, Cherie Booth gave birth to Tony Blair's son in full mandate and discussion on the paternity license law, to which at that time the English congress had rejected.The then prime minister took a week to take care of his son as a political gesture and was celebrated as "Dad's example".

"The term lady," says Dora Barrancos, "has a rancid semiology, feminist have said many about that compensatory trap, which we call" the patriarchy trap ", referring to the terminology of" First Lady "on which the historianHe has thought a lot as a strategy to try to soften and compensate for historical inequalities between men and women (as, according to Sarlo, pregnancy softens the people).If we talk about traps, pregnancy, when it involves who has entrusted the management of a country, from the perspective of motherhood or paternity/ first lady or president, it can be very different.In principle, in front of the trap, women are the first to run with disadvantage.
