| Sumario: | The purpose of this paper is to answer the famous question made by
Susan Moller Okin in one of her last works at Princeton University: Is multiculturalism
bad for women? The theoretical context I will use to rethink
about this question and the challenges multiculturalism poses to the law
in Latin America is Catherine Mackinnon's extreme feminism, since, as I explain in this paper, I believe this debate (multiculturalism, feminism and criminal law) can only take place from a gender essentialist feminism, like
radical feminism, and not from a non-essentialist feminism. I will take a
specific case (the Ruiz case, in Salta, Argentina) to reveal the defects of the
-perhaps wrongly- so-called "cultural defence". Finally, I will hold that the only way to critically rethink about multiculturalism is by rethinking the right on which the whole theoretical building of multiculturalism is based: the right of exit. Said right shall be critically redefined as a form of the right to speak. I will hold that a multiculturalism that does not defend (but endangers)
women's human rights has actually ceased to be what it promises.
Women's human rights cannot be thought about or seen as a "limit" to multiculturalism, since without said basic rights there is no (and therefore we must not talk about) multiculturalism. |
