single motherhood itself was disastrous enough to result, for some poor women, in a choice between prostitution and starvation, a dangerous attempt at abortion, abandonment of a child to an orphanage or infanticide. The stigma around single motherhood caused a great deal of misery for its many victims. It also existed for a reason: to deter women from making an irreparable mistake for the sake of a worthless man.

in an era without contraception, a prohibition on sex before marriage served female, not male interests, because it protected the group of people who bear (literally) the consequences of an extramarital pregnancy.

Either being ‘a someone’ or needing ‘a someone’ is our lot as human beings. That means that we have to find a way of being dependent upon one another.

A modified version of R’s proclamation could be applied to almost all adults at some stage of their lives: ‘there is no such thing as a person. There is only a person and someone.’ Acting as that ‘someone’ means giving away some portion of your freedom, which runs counter to what we’re all supposed to want.

«The liberal theory of the independent individual as the basic unit of society is full of exceptions … It would be fairer to say that dependence is our default state, and self-sufficiency the aberration. Our lives begin and (frequently) end in states of near total dependence, and much of the middle is marked by periods of need.»

Me será muy difícil vengar a todos los que tienen que ser vengados, porque mi venganza no sería más que otra parte del mismo rito inexorable.

la memoria es frágil y el transcurso de una vida es muy breve y sucede todo tan deprisa, que no alcanzamos a ver la relación entre los acontecimientos, no podemos medir la consecuencia de los actos, creemos en la ficción del tiempo, en el presente, el pasado y el futuro, pero puede ser también que todo ocurre simultáneamente

la época en que todavía las cosas se llamaban por nombres conocidos y las palabras tenían un significado único, cuando pueblo, libertad y compañero eran sólo eso, pueblo, libertad y compañero, y no eran todavía contraseñas.

Even after birth, the mother–baby dyad remains a unit, tied together both emotionally and physically. And, for many years following birth, the young child cannot be understood as an autonomous individual because, without the devoted care of at least one adult, death is a certainty.

And no wonder, since the logic of individualism collapses upon contact with motherhood. The pregnant woman’s frame contains two people, neither of them truly autonomous. The unborn baby depends on the mother for survival, and the mother cannot break this physical bond except through medical intervention that will result in the baby’s death.

Motherhood is discussed in fewer than 3 per cent of papers, journal articles or textbooks on modern gender theory34 – but then, less than half of tenured female academics have children,35 which makes the omission somewhat less surprising. The whole topic has slipped out of sight.

As the ecologist Herman Daly has put it, after a certain point growth begins to become ‘uneconomic’: it begins to create more ‘illth’ than wealth: the continued pursuit of growth in high-income nations is exacerbating inequality and political instability, and contributing to problems like stress and depression from overwork and lack of sleep, ill health from pollution, diabetes and obesity, and so on.

The effect is so marked that Steven Pinker has described step-parenthood as ‘the strongest risk factor for child abuse ever identified’. A step-parent is forty to one hundred times more likely than a biological parent to kill a child,28 and stepfathers are also far more likely than genetic fathers to sexually abuse children.

siempre será mucho más sencillo crear una narrativa negativa que cale en el público si se publican artículos contrarios a dichas medidas en varios medios internacionales, ya que es bastante probable que dicho público general no repare en que todos esos medios pertenecen a un mismo grupo empresarial o tienen accionistas y anunciantes en común.

llegó a ser evidente para todos que los militares se habían tomado el poder para quedárselo y no para entregar el gobierno a los políticos de derecha que habían propiciado el Golpe. Eran una raza aparte, hermanos entre sí, que hablaban un idioma diferente al de los civiles y con quienes el diálogo era como una conversación de sordos, porque la menor disidencia era considerada traición en su rígido código de honor.

Despite the often valiant efforts of single mothers, the data clearly shows that, on average, children without fathers at home do not do as well as other children.

sino que las utilizan para alcanzar sus fines políticos y económicos. Es decir, los medios se convierten en herramientas para obtener beneficios para sus accionistas, pero no mediante sus propios resultados, sino por la influencia que pueden tener sobre el público, otras empresas, las administraciones públicas y los propios cimientos democráticos de los Estados.

De la misma forma que una empresa no espera obtener un retorno económico directo de su departamento de comunicación o de relaciones públicas, o de los nuevos departamentos de responsabilidad social corporativa, que en la mayoría de los casos tienen como única función el lavado de imagen de la empresa, estos grandes conglomerados financieros no esperan obtener una rentabilidad directa de sus empresas mediáticas,

Spain spends only $2,300 per person to deliver high-quality healthcare to everyone as a fundamental right, achieving one of the highest life expectancies in the world: 83.5 years; a full five years longer than Americans. By contrast, the private, for-profit system in the United States sucks up an eye-watering $9,500 per person, while delivering lower life expectancy and worse health outcomes.
