Rudo e impio, y cargado de humor, Contra los hijos cuestiona los discursos culturales que promueven la preeminencia del hijo y lo llevan a ocupar un lugar despotico en el siglo XXI. Version revisada y ampliada del publicado en 2014, este ensayo es una provocadora advertencia contra el retorno de un modelo conservador que pretende devolver a las mujeres al encierro domestico. Un angel malefico recorre impune nuestras conciencias: es el mensajero de la procreacion. En esta diatriba Lina Meruane examina el retorno de este <> que, amparado en la retorica ecologista, hace imperiosos llamados a la prolongacion de la lactancia, la crianza intensiva y una infinita lista de prescripciones. De su polemico analisis sobre uno de los temas mas determinantes y peor discutidos de nuestro tiempo se derivan observaciones sobre el estatuto de la pareja contemporanea, la discriminacion laboral de las mujeres y los actuales sistemas educativos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Unruly, irreverent, and full of humor, Against the Kids questions the cultural speech that promotes the superiority of kids and one that has taken them to occupy an authoritative place in the 21st century. Revised and expanded from its first publication in 2014, this essay is a provocative warning against the return of a conservative model that aims to return women to domestic confinement. In this critique, Lina Meruane examines the return of an evil “angel” who, protected by ecological rhetoric, is calling for a longer breastfeeding time by mothers, a more intensive upbringing, and an infinite list of advices which only takes us back in time. From her controversial analysis on one of the most influential and worst-discussed issues of our time, observations arise about the status of contemporary couples, employment discrimination of women, and the current educational systems.
