Hi,
Your answer :
Women played a central role in the ideal German "racial community" (Volksgemeinschaft) that Hitler intended to create. He believed that a larger, racially pure population would increase Germany's military power and provide settlers to occupy the conquered territories of Eastern Europe. The aggressive demographic policy of the Third Reich encouraged "racially pure" women to give birth to as many "Aryan" children as possible.
This policy took its most radical form in 1936, when SS leaders launched the national program known as Lebensborn (Source of Life). Extending the 1932 Marriage Ordinance, the 1936 Lebensborn Ordinance required that every member of the SS should father at least four children in or out of wedlock. The Lebensborn homes welcomed mothers and illegitimate children, provided birth certificates, financial support and recruited adoptive parents.
Finally, the Lebensborn program was not widely applied. Nazi population policy focused on the traditional family and marriage. The state encouraged marriage through loans, paid family allowances for each new child. He gave pride of place to large families, awarded the "Cross of Honor of the German Mother" to women who had at least four children, and increased the penalties for abortions.
The League of National Socialist Women (Nationalsozialistische Frauenschaft or NS-Frauenschaft) and the German Women's Association (Deutsches Frauenwerk or DFW) used propaganda to encourage women to devote themselves to their role as wives and mothers. In addition to population growth, the regime intended to promote "racial purity" through "improvement of the species", including the promulgation of laws prohibiting marriages between "Aryans" and "non-Aryans" and preventing people with disabilities or certain diseases from getting married.
At school and in the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM), of which they were compulsorily members, the girls learned to adopt their role as obedient mother and wife. Rearmament, then total war, forced the Nazis to give up their domestic ideal for women. To cope with the need for manpower, the state was forced to push women to work (for example, as part of the Year of Duty, a compulsory service plan for all women), including in the army (in 1945 the number of female auxiliaries in the German army was nearly 500,000).
French :
Western society of the 18th century is Christian. Mentalities are forged on ancient beliefs, especially on women. In the 18th century, even though European Christian society has changed somewhat since the Middle Ages, there are myths that have a hard time. Thus the myth of the woman created not at the same time as the man, but from the coast of the man (error of translation side / coast) On this myth rests most of the attitude of the men to the Regarding women: the woman owes everything to the man, she is subject to him ... Without forgetting that the woman is at the origin of the misfortune of the human race with the original sin: because, is not it, Eve who, in Judeo-Christian mythology, incited Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, the apple of the knowledge of good and evil?
Weak woman by its constitution, tempting woman (creature of the devil, witch), femme fatale, woman close to the animal with or without soul (always less elaborate than that of a man), the women, since ancient times, cause many misfortunes. On the eve of the French Revolution, mentalities have not really evolved ... Many people think that they can not think for themselves.
In 1789, during the debates on the conditions of formation of primary assemblies, the question of women's right to vote was not even raised in the Constituent Assembly. They were naturally removed from civil rights, under the weight of prejudices about the nature of women and the perception of the border between private and public space, the order of natural and social relations. Citizen yes as a citizen's wife.
The commonplaces on the nature of women are numerous. Literature, philosophy and medicine have crossed their approaches to "naturalize" extreme femininity: "delicate constitution", "excessive tenderness", "limited reason", "fragile nerves" (Hysteria mental illness coming from the uterus and so that it can only affect women) ... Emphasis is placed on the intellectual and physical inferiority of women Diderot, in her essay of 1772 On Women, notes that the exaltation of feminine beauty and the celebration loving feelings are only the other side of the woman's confinement in her physical inferiority (awareness of a man more than a philosopher).
Good bye :)
