Interview with Alessandra Nucci, a scholar of the phenomena related to feminism
ROME, Monday, 7 March 2005 (ZENIT.org).
Women's Day has become over the years a growing ideological value, the point of being radical expression of a culture that identifies the female figure as a rebel against the natural characteristics of mother and wife.
After decades in which this ideology has prevailed, now seems to emerge a new culture that refers to teaching and Christian anthropology.
To learn more, ZENIT interviewed Dr. Alessandra Nucci, Director of the magazine "A voice cries out ...!" and scholar of the phenomena that refer to feminism and all'ecofemminismo. The
Nucci is also responsible for the area, "Women and Culture" of the Group of Socio-Religious Research and Information (GRIS).
What is the history and significance of 8 March. It 's a feast for the women?
Nucci: The feminist mythology handed down for decades, the story that the date 8 March was chosen at the second International Conference of Socialist Women in Copenhagen in 1910 to commemorate the massacre of over one hundred workers of a shirt in New York, trapped in a fire set by the owner of the factory to exact revenge on a strike.
few years ago someone went to comb through the chronicles true, and it was reported that there was such a terrible fire, but that was not attributable either to strike or a lockout, which made victims among men, and that was in 1911, a year after Copenhagen.
So now known that the versions that are made are varied, but always trying to remember some negative event that would happen in America. In reality, the establishment of 8 March as International Women's Day dates back to III Communist International held in Moscow in 1921, which was launched by Lenin as "International Workers' Day" in honor of the first event of the workers of St. Petersburg against tsarism.
The story of a March 8 established in memory of a massacre result of hatred and the capitalist class was the work of the Italian Communist Party in 1952, in the Cold War, published this chronicle of real fire, but handled in an anti-American . The version was revived by Italian women, the female sector of the CGIL union, to organize the celebration of 8 March this year, and then by the same CGIL, who embroidered it further, adding more characters to the story two years later.
The story is indicative of the hegemony sought and, eventually obtained by the Italian left on the applications of women, even today, where often the voice of those who left is not collecting the same themes, the same passwords. So on March 8 in Italy is actually experienced as a general holiday for all women.
Right now we are discussing in New York (Beijing + 10), the Platform for Action passed at the UN conference in Beijing (1995) on women's rights.

There is considerable controversy regarding abortion, for many it is a right, an act of freedom and progress of the female. She what do you think?
Nucci: When in Italy in the seventies, they held a referendum on abortion, many people were voting for the liberalization because we are convinced of the need to put an end to a very high number of illegal abortions. Today, however, went far beyond this concept of "lesser evil", and a certain kind of radical feminism has given the dignity of abortion banner of freedom, an achievement that we should be very proud. Some people even want to make it a human right, in the name of life. The woman's life, of course, without regard to the life of the child.
The woman wants to present as a threat not only incidence of mortality from illegal abortions, which is presumed high, but also from the fact of pregnancy and motherhood. It 'amazing how in an age where you want everything to be "natural" and "holistic", we should at all costs to manipulate the natural physiology of the woman, spin-offs like a motherhood issue additional .
He is currently preparing a book on feminism and policies antivir that some UN agencies have practiced since the late sixties. How does the feminist culture has been instrumental in the implementation of programs to reduce birth?
Nucci: population policies United Nations are born from the desire to prevent what is perceived as an impending demographic catastrophe, although the data say otherwise. There is no doubt however that the revived feminism nineties has given a new legitimacy to these policies and militancy, especially with the banner of "reproductive rights .
According to these feminists, members of government delegations and non-governmental, but also included so many different levels of the same UN system, is of paramount importance to liberalize abortion and contraception to flood the world, because the woman's primary asset - he knows it or not - would be to reduce the maternity option marginal compared to the really important things in life.
What do you think of the Earth Charter, which some would replace the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948?
Nucci: I could not express myself better by Professor Michael Schooyans, to say that the Earth Charter is an anti-Christian ideological tool, useful to "legitimize policies of population control worldwide, especially towards the poorest."
summer of last year, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published a document in which he analyzes the feminist ideology and compares con la cultura cristiana. Qual è il suo parere in proposito?
Nucci: Il documento firmato dal cardinal Joseph Ratzinger e dall’arcivescovo Angelo Amato ha il pregio di mettere in guardia le donne dal rischio di favorire la creazione di una società dove le condizioni dell’umanità, e quindi della donna stessa, saranno molto peggiori di adesso. Bisogna rendersi conto che le campagne che riguardano la donna in realtà prendono di mira tutta la società. Adesso se ne rendono conto in poche, ma basterà che le donne ne diventino pienamente consapevoli: allora saranno in grado, insieme agli uomini, di ribaltare l’intero corso della storia.
