Educar en igualdad en una sociedad neoliberal

Abstract

How can we educate in equality in a neoliberal, capitalist and patriarchal society that turns women's bodies into merchandise? The principal aim of neoliberal ideology is to turn life intro merchandise, even to human beings (De Miguel, 2015). The powerful lobbies of pimping and patriarchal commerce are advanced by two complementary ideas, as this expert explains: free choice and the consent. In a neoliberal society and a woman agrees to choose to prostitute herself or rent her uterus, this becomes "acceptable". The entire buy-sell relationship in the neoliberal economy seems to be admissible if there is consent. In this case, regulating prostitution as a profession and establish the rent of wombs as a dedication, means integrating them in the market economy, assuming that the alternative for women and, therefore, it's acceptable, it is not necessary to remove the motive, no pay attention to the social conditions that enable and determine women to be prostituted or having to sell their uterus. Reinforcing its "normalization" as an "option of the poor". If these forms of violence against women in a profession or an "option" as something else for women, how can we educate for equality in a society wehre girls will know that their future may be prostitution or sell their wombs and the boy will know they can use if they have enough money to pay for it? Let us not forget that the educational system, form and non-formal, is a tool of reproduction of the social system.
