Women of the World Unite (VI)

Ghiath El-Marzouk


No one is more aggressive, more arrogant,
[And] more scornful towards women,
Than the man who is [so] fearful
For his virility [at every flash of acumen]!
Simone de Beauvoir


Women of the World Unite!

Know that any form of masculine aggression which you experience (with all the sub-forms of arrogance and scornfulness that this aggression would entail in the course of time) is nothing but a syndrome of obsessional neurosis annihilating a very precious part of what the male in question imagines to be a realm of ‘freedom’, a delusively phantasmal realm where he rambles aimlessly once in a while –whether the form of masculine aggression manifests itself overtly, covertly (or even in a state swaying in between). Know also that by sheer beginning, by beginning with ‘liberating’ yourselves from the yoke of such masculine aggression, you certainly begin with the real path towards security and protection –even the inception of the universe itself has been patently revealed out of the original signification of ‘liberated’ being from the very outset of human creation, either exemplified in the ancient mythical texts (or represented by extension in the religious texts themselves).

Therefore, there does not exist any social (or even any political) liberation without feminine emancipation, nor, conversely, does there exist any feminine emancipation without social (or even political) liberation: and as it is not possible for slavery by compulsion to derive its mere ‘validity’ from any mythical personification (or even reification), it is equally not possible for liberty by conviction to derive its mere ‘credibility’ from any religious personification (or even reification)!

يَا نِسَاءَ العَالَمِ اتَّحِدْنَ (6)

غياث المرزوق

لَيْسَ ثَمَّةَ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ عَدَاءً وَأَشَدُّ خُيَلاءً وَأَشَدُّ ازْدِرَاءً إِزَاءَ النِّسَاءْ
مِنْ ذَلِكَ الكَائِنِ الذَّكَرِ الذي يُوجِسُ خِيفَةً عَلَى ذُكُورَتِهِ [صَبَاحَ مَسَاءْ]!
سيمون دو بوفوار


يَا نِسَاءَ العَالَمِ اتَّحِدْنَ!

اِعْلَمْنَ أَنَّ أَيَّ شَكْلٍ من أَشْكَالِ العَدَاءِ، عَدَاءِ «الذُّكُورِ» إِزَاءَكُنَّ وَمَا يُسْفِرُ عَنْهُ مِنْ شَاكِلاتِ الخُيَلاءِ وَالاِزْدِرَاءِ عَلَى مَرِّ الزَّمَانِ، سَوَاءً كَانَ ذَلِكَ مُسْفِرًا فِي الجَهَارِ أَوْ فِي الخَفَاءِ (أَو حَتَّى فِيمَا بَيْنَ هَكَذَا طَرَفَيْ نَقِيضٍ يَتَهَاجَلانِ)، إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ لازِمٌ عُصَابِيٌّ هُجَاسِيٌّ يَغْتَالُ جُزْءًا جِدَّ نَفِيسٍ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ مَا يَخَالُونَهَا «حُرِّيَّةً» فِي عَالَمٍ وَهْمِيٍّ اسْتِهَامِيٍّ يَهِيمُونَ فِيهِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ آنًا بَعْدَ آنٍ. وَاعْلَمْنَ أَنَّ مَحْضَ الاِبْتِدَاءِ، ابْتِدَاءِ عَيْنِ «التَّحَرُّرِ» مِنْ نِيرِ هَذَا العَدَاءِ، لَبَدْءٌ فِي المَسَارِ الحَقِيقِ نَحْو بَرِّ الأَمَانِ – حَتَّى ابْتِدَاءُ الكَوْنِ بِالذَّاتِ قَدْ تَجَلَّى أَصْلاً فِي فَحَوَاءِ الكَيْنُونَةِ «الحُرَّةِ» عَيْنِهَا مُنْذُ البَدْءِ بِخَلْقِ الاِنْسَانِ، مِثَالاً كَانَ هَذَا الاِبْتِدَاءُ فِي نُصُوصِ الأَسَاطِيرِ القَدِيمَةِ أَمْ تَمْثِيلاً بَعْدَهَا فِي نُصُوصِ الأَدْيَانِ.

فَلا تَحَرُّرَ اجْتِمَاعِيًّا (وَلا حَتَّى تَحَرُّرَ سِيَاسِيًّا) دُونَمَا تَحَرُّرٍ نِسَائِيٍّ، وَلا تَحَرُّرَ نِسَائِيًّا، فِي المُقَابِلِ، دُونَمَا تَحَرُّرٍ اجْتِمَاعِيٍّ (أَوْ حَتَّى دُونَمَا تَحَرُّرٍ سِيَاسِيٍّ): وَمِثْلَمَا أَنَّ عَيْنَ الاِسْتِرْقَاقِ بِالإِخْنَاعِ يَنْبَغِي أَلاَّ يَسْتَمِدَّ «مَشْرُوعِيَّتَهُ» مِنْ أَيِّ تَشْخِيصٍ (أَوْ حَتَّى تَشْيِيءٍ) أُسْطُورِيٍّ، فَإِنَّ عَيْنَ الاِنْعِتَاقِ بِالإِقْنَاعِ، فِي المُقَابِلِ الآخَرِ، يَنْبَغِي أَلاَّ يَسْتَمِدَّ مَصْدَاقِيَّتَهُ مِنْ أَيِّ تَشْخِيصٍ (أَوْ حَتَّى تَشْيِيءٍ) دِينِيٍّ!
