The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, criticized this Friday at the institutional event of the regional Executive for Women’s Day the “feminist revolution”, which in her eyes “replaced” original feminism and “orchestrated the attack to the man, the family, the mother and motherhood”.
He pointed this out in the speech with which he closed this event that took place at the Real Casa de Correos and in which, among others, Afghan judges and prosecutors, the Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado and two men were awarded. -a Civil Guard and a son of a victim of sexist violence-.
“With the feminist movement that wanted equality before the law and opportunities for women, we all won. But the feminist revolution replaced it and the attack on men, the family, mothers and motherhood, among other issues, was orchestrated. “, launched the regional president, who has also assured that it is “organized by people who did not go through the same difficulties, nor did they know the reality on which the original movement was based.”
He considers that as a result of it, “parallel problems, grievances, ideology are created, and everything degenerates” with campaigns “questioning women” or “complicating their participation in sports or access to selective tests because of ideological laws.”
The president has also defended that it also causes them to “doubt whether to be mothers,” describing motherhood as “the loss of freedom, as a burden or a stereotype.” She has highlighted that in these “political and media agendas that forget 50% of the population” are being outlined.
“And we are all either mothers, or cousins, or sisters, or friends. Therefore, some figures also concern us,” she explained, citing, among others, that school dropouts are higher in men than in women, that 79% of traffic accident victims were men in 2023 or that 97% of soldiers who are victims of wars are men.
“I don’t know when it’s Men’s Day to talk about all this, I think it’s not necessary and that the valuable thing is to work every day, not to compensate for the statistics and make us all equal there, but so that there are fewer men and fewer women who are victims,” ??he added.
The regional leader recalled that Madrid is the region that has been governed “for the longest time” by women and has denied that Spain lives in a “hell of oppression”, a thesis that she believes is “somewhat unfair” for those who are. in this type of companies, in reference to the Afghan companies awarded this Friday.
In her speech, she pointed out that International Women’s Day was born as a celebration of the infrequent insertion into the world of work in 1909, while now it has become a reason for “joy and celebration of normality” of both the contribution in the labor market as well as in other areas such as “cultural, the value of being a mother, grandmother, father or grandfather.”
