El pez que se muerde la cola o de cómo son conservadoras las mujeres

Abstract

This article reflects about the statement attibuting that women are politically uninterested, distant and, especially, conservatives. It tries to demonstrate that the one that really is conserative is the politic, which is also andocentric and masculinizant, and those are obstacles for the interest and participation of women. This is -as the name of the text implies- of a fish biting its tail: women do not participate because they do not recognize themselves in politics and the politic does not recognize women. On the other hand, women not only share the dominant political culture, but they develop their own as the subaltern culture they are, and in this same fashion they also configure therir logic of rational selection about the politic in function of their gender.
