The finding is on the front page of West France. And for good reason, points out the newspaper, “ in its tenth annual report, the High Council for Equality draw up a report “alarming” sexism in France. Among the disturbing figures : almost a quarter (23%) of men aged 25 to 34 consider that it is sometimes necessary to be violent to be respected “.
Another significant figure, The world“ 33% of French women claim to have had sex when they did not feel like it, citing the insistence of their partner. […] The High Council for Equality denounces an ambivalence : “this barometer shows both a generally accepted opinion of equal rights, aware of the fight against sexism and violence against women, and at the same time, it reveals very entrenched behaviors of sexism, in particular among young men.
male indifference…
And it is often within the family unit that sexism is built, The Latest News from Alsace.
Two figures, two examples. ” Only 49% of women and 37% of men consider it problematic that a woman cooks every day for the whole family, and 15% of men aged 25-34 consider it normal for a man not to take care of household chores if he earns more than his spouse. These two examples, points out the Alsatian daily, demonstrate that beyond contesting situations of ordinary sexism, public opinion does not reject them in practice, particularly young men. This male indifference is all the more damaging in that it prevents brothers, fathers, husbands, uncles, cousins, godfathers, patriarchs, colleagues or friends from accepting the collective responsibility that is theirs in this adventure. Ecological awareness has entered homes through children. It is allowed to hopeconclude The Latest News from Alsace, that future generations avoid atavisms to make equality between women and men a universal and familiar value. »
Pension reform: women winners?
The draft law on pensions, with this question posed by The Parisian : “ Are women really the big winners of the reform ? »
For the government, yes. ” They are winners. Elisabeth Borne mentioned, during her speech on January 10, a device “more just, especially for women”. »
In fact, it’s more complicated, tip The Parisian. Example : ” Women will continue to retire later than men, the reform does nothing to reduce the gaps. They will have to postpone their departure by an average of seven additional months, compared to five for men, to reach the age of 64. »
And as for the differences in the amount of pension between women and men, they should fade. But this results from a mechanical effect », points again The Parisian : “ Women will retire later, contribute longer, acquire more rights and thus improve their pensions. ” Short, ” the reform forces people to leave later, so women will have a bigger pension, but that’s no longer a choice. »
No concessions…
In any case, ” the executive keeps its course, relief Le Figaro. Shaken by protest, he presented his textyesterday [le 23 janvier, NDLR], in the Council of Ministers. Without bending as to its objective of shifting the legal retirement age to 64. »
Which makes it say Release that ” the government is open… not to concede anything. The executive tries to be conciliatory on the employment of seniors or the hardship, but shows no desire to move on the foundations of the reform “.
Opponents on the left propose, them, an alternative modelpoint Le Monde, founded on the rejection of neoliberalism, the promotion of egalitarianism, the praise of the reduction and sharing of work, the promotion of a useful social time and de-indexed from the race for profit. “A France without a billionaire”, proclaims the national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens, Marine Tondelier, in symbiosis with the national secretary of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel “.
So should we tax the rich? For the presidential majority, no question: “ It does not work ! » However, Free Charenteit would be time to unlock the debate and “ to see how it would be possible for everyone to contribute according to their means in order to allow society to live less fractured “.
