Resumen
Maternidad, (2007), Se considera como una práctica cultural multideterminada y creada por las normas y necesidades de un determinado grupo social en una época de su historia, “se afirma que, en esa medida, la maternidad es un revelador del orden social de género” p. 67. La forma en que las mujeres experimentamos el proceso de ser madres es algo que socialmente no importa o se desconoce, por lo que perpetuar la discusión sobre la maternidad como un tema femenino o restarle importancia resulta en una violencia simbólica dirigida principalmente a las propias mujeres. La romantización de la maternidad es un fenómeno cultural en el que se exalta e idealiza el rol de ser madre, presentándolo como algo maravilloso, lleno de amor incondicional, alegría constante y satisfacción plena. Esta idealización se refleja en la sociedad a través de imágenes, películas, libros y redes sociales, creando expectativas poco realistas sobre la experiencia de ser madre. Sin embargo, esta romantización puede tener consecuencias negativas al generar presiones y estereotipos sobre las mujeres que no se ajustan a este ideal, generando sentimientos de culpa, frustración y desvalorización. Empero, la maternidad dista de cumplir con tal concepción. Así que, ¿a qué se debe tal romantización? en su ánimo de vender un ideal muy alejado de la realidad, la publicidad —uno de sus máximos exponentes— ha supuesto que esos días de llantos incontrolables, de lactancia compleja, de cambiar pañales y de despertarse cada dos horas, se pueden borrar de un tirón al nacer el bebé. Esta tendencia ha tomado participación en muchos escenarios, pero este es, tal vez, uno de los más afectados. De esta manera, se plantea la presente investigación, en la cual se pretende considerar y analizar cómo los estereotipos que se han establecido en la sociedad sobre la concepción de la maternidad han determinado el papel que las mujeres deben cumplir. La muestra estuvo conformada por (N=21) sujetos de investigación entre la edad de 18 y 50 años, (n= 11) de ellos mujeres y (n= 10) de ellos hombres. En esta investigación utilizamos la encuesta, esta estrategia ya se suele hacer con una muestra poblacional aleatoria a cuyos sujetos se les hace preguntas orientadas a conocer cuál va a ser su opción preferida para votar. Muchas de las madres e incluso padres, expresaron como se han sentido culpadas, criticadas e incluso violentadas por cómo han decidido ejercer su maternidad y paternidad, y el no cumplir con los estándares establecidos generalmente por la población tradicional, por otro lado, hay algunas personas que mencionan que desde un inicio sabían que el ser madre era algo de sacrificio y paciencia por lo que no se han sentido de esta manera. También se resalta como la romantizacion ha generado un impacto negativo, ya que esto ha provocado en las madres ansiedad, depresión, irracionalidad, inconformismo y culpabilidad. Es importante reconocer que la maternidad es una experiencia única para cada mujer y que no todas las vivencias se ajustan a este idealizado concepto. Es fundamental promover una visión más realista y diversa de la maternidad, que reconozca las dificultades y los desafíos que conlleva, así como también los momentos de felicidad y satisfacción. Esto permitirá a las mujeres tomar decisiones informadas sobre su vida reproductiva y sentirse valoradas más allá de su rol como madres
Motherhood, (2007), considers it as a multi-determined cultural practice created by the norms and needs of a certain social group at a time in its history, "it is stated that, to that extent, motherhood is a revealer of the social order of gender” p. 67. The way in which women experience the process of being mothers is something that socially does not matter or is unknown, so perpetuating the discussion of motherhood as a feminine issue or downplaying its importance results in symbolic violence directed mainly at women themselves. women. The romanticization of motherhood is a cultural phenomenon in which the role of being a mother is exalted and idealized, presenting it as something wonderful, full of unconditional love, constant joy and full satisfaction. This idealization is reflected in society through images, movies, books, and social media, creating unrealistic expectations about the experience of being a mother. However, this romanticization can have negative consequences by generating pressures and stereotypes on women who do not fit this ideal, generating feelings of guilt, frustration and devaluation. However, motherhood is far from fulfilling such a conception. So why such romanticization? In its desire to sell an ideal far removed from reality, advertising - one of its greatest exponents - has assumed that those days of uncontrollable crying, complex breastfeeding, changing diapers and waking up every two hours, can be erased in one fell swoop. pulling when the baby is born. This trend has taken part in many scenarios, but this is, perhaps, one of the most affected. In this way, the present investigation is proposed, in which it is intended to consider and analyze how the stereotypes that have been established in society about the conception of motherhood have determined the role that women must fulfill. The sample was made up of (N=21) research subjects between the ages of 18 and 50, (n= 11) of them women and (n= 10) of them men. In this research we use the survey, this strategy is usually done with a random population sample whose subjects are asked questions aimed at knowing what their preferred option to vote will be. Many of the mothers and even fathers expressed how they have felt blamed, criticized and even violated for how they have decided to exercise their motherhood and fatherhood, and for not meeting the standards generally established by the traditional population. On the other hand, there are some people who mention that from the beginning they knew that being a mother was something of sacrifice and patience, so they have not felt this way. It is also highlighted how romanticization has generated a negative impact, since this has caused anxiety, depression, irrationality, non-conformity and guilt in mothers. It is important to recognize that motherhood is a unique experience for each woman and that not all experiences fit this idealized concept. It is essential to promote a more realistic and diverse vision of motherhood, one that recognizes the difficulties and challenges it entails, as well as the moments of happiness and satisfaction. This will allow women to make informed decisions about their reproductive lives and feel valued beyond their role as mothers
