description | Theoretically speaking, this article has been conceived from the feminist point of view, which is here understood as a new scientific and political-perspective. Therefore, we refuse the radical feminism position, according to which gender relationships constitute the primary principle able to explain the capitalist societies social structure, as well as the simpletons who reduce the complex texture of class societies to class struggles. Feminism as a scientific and political perspective takes into account not only these two antagonisms, but also their interrelations. Therefrom derives the conception of this type of society in terms of patriarchy-capitalism and not as patriarchal capitalism. This theoretical framework allows the examination, through history, of the unequal incorporation of women in the Brazilian labour force. If during the 1872-1982 period the data concerning this phenomenon suffered changes, on the other hand, they also demonstrate the preservation of discriminations against women. That is, the majority of working women goes on occupying low positions, receiving low wages even when they perform the same occupational function, accumulating wage work and domestic services. These phenomena, as well as those related to them, can only be eliminated by the struggle against patriarchy-capitalism, aiming the complete destruction of this symbiosis which creates conditions for the domination-exploration of almost all by a few and women by men. |

Teoricamente, este artigo foi elaborado do ponto de vista do FEMINISMO, compreendido este enquanto uma nova perspectiva científico-politica. Por conseguinte, rejeita-se a posição do denominado feminismo radical, segundo a qual as relações de gênero constituem o principio fundamental estruturador das sociedades capitalistas, assim como se refuta a posição daqueles que reduzem a textura complexa das sociedades de classes a lutas de classe. O feminismo como perspectiva cientificopolítica não apenas leva em consideração estes dois antagonismos, como também suas interrelações. Daí deriva a concepção deste tipo de sociedade em termos de capitalismo-patriarcado e não como capitalismo patriarcal. À luz deste esquema teórico de referência é examinada, ao longo da história, a desigual incorporação da mulher na força de trabalho brasileira. Se durante o período 1872-1982 os dados a respeito deste fenômeno sofreram mudanças, houve, por outro lado, muita conservação de fenômenos discriminatórios contra a mulher, no interior das estatísticas. Ou seja, o grosso das trabalhadoras continua ocupando posições subalternas, recebendo salários mais baixos pelo desempenho da mesma função, exercendo duas jornadas de trabalho. Estes fenômenos como também os que deles decorrem, só poderão ser eliminados pela luta contra o patriarcado-capitalismo, pela destruição desta simbiose, que propicia a dominaçâo-exploração de quase todos por muitos e de mulheres por homens. 2009-08-31 2022-03-18T16:16:56Z 2022-03-18T16:16:56Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/1848 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61097 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/1848/1515 Copyright (c) 2007 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 8 (1985) 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
