description | This article analyzes the mentalité of men who abrogated Spanish Penal Code Article 437 that had permitted husbands to kill adulterous wives. While a Cuban woman's movement opposed femicidio, it failed to mount a campaign to force the law's nullification. Men abrogated the adultery law as a means of breaking with colonial policy and instituting a bourgeois, republican order, but not with an eye toward addressing issues of sexual double standard or unjust gender relations. Este ensayo analiza la mentalidad de hombres que abrogaron Artículo 437 del Código Penal el cual permitía a los maridos matar a las esposas infieles. Aunque había un movimiento femenino cubano y aunque su movimiento se oponía al femicidio, no organizaron una campaña para forzar anulación de la ley. Los hombres revocaron la ley de adulterio como parte de la corriente modernizadora que buscaba romper la política colonial y instituir un orden burgués y republicano. Pero su objectivo fundamental no era corregir el doble "standard" en el terreno amoroso o las relaciones injustas entre mujeres y hombres. |
