On the occasion of the dramatic and tragic things happening especially in our country (social exclusion, racism, femicides, etc.) and the relevant article by distinguished scientists (D.Baka, President of KOPED on ANDRAGOGY) and with all the knowledge I gained from the American and French Universities I attended, and with what I later studied, I thought to dare, to be original, introducing the term GYNECOLOGY in the sense - not in competition with Andragogy - but in harmony and cooperation with it so that it contributes to the development and progress of our society.
Since ancient times we have been taught about the Olympian gods, male and female, their terrible passions and "feats" as well as the often not harmonious relationships between them. Also, for the women-god-monsters (Medea, Scylla, Charybdis, Circe etc.) which is an example of the perverted image that had been created at the expense of women.
We also know that the first human communities were female-dominated. Later, due to war conflicts, refugees, immigrants, etc., the role of women was degraded and men were imposed as leaders with what followed, positive or negative.
Of course, with the infamous "doctrine"-myth of the fall from Paradise due to the sinful triangle of Adam, Eve and the cursed serpent, the relationships changed viciously and ignorance, confusion, fear and guilt prevailed, especially among women, who served the then corrupt religious , political and economic establishments to divide and enslave the people.
Fortunately, the Christian teaching with Christ himself as the Protagonist-Teacher changed the sad picture and first with the Virgin Mary and other female Martyrs-Saints, the role of women was upgraded, but, unfortunately, the same did not happen with other religions such as Muslims etc. a.
As for the role of Greek women in the Greek Revolution (the Dance of Zalongou is a world monument of heroism), in the First and Second World War, in Cyprus, etc., it was important!
Also, in the modern era, along with great male scientists, many women have emerged and indeed in key fields.
In the context of the dramatic-tragic Women's Movement (how to forget the dozens of women who were unjustly murdered in NY in a peaceful strike? ) women began to improve their position. And in our country, the Women's Movement experienced days of glory in the 80s, but, in some cases, due to party issues, etc. interventions there were problems.
The writer's intention is not to make a detailed historical review, which is well known, but, epigrammatically, to focus attention on the key role played by - and should be - the woman, without whom there is no human life!
Let's think that the woman for 9 months risks her own life and is an Icon! Also, the nurturing of children for many months, and other moments (weeks, months, years) of affection and tenderness are mainly the privilege of the woman-mother. Therefore, in harmony with ANDRAGOGY, which is the cornerstone of the correct development, physical, spiritual, psychological of men to be able to defend the Motherland and its ideals, GYNECOLOGY in the sense that women, dynamically and productively, participate equal to men in the national BECOME and to enjoy the same privileges as men, legally guaranteed, but with special allowances, licenses, etc. due to pregnancy and for mothers with many children and other facilities in order to deal with the tragic phenomenon of demographic shrinkage and brain drain and labor force, as well as the divisive imposition of negative standards that injure the traditional family institution, and with a leading role - as well as men - especially in Catholic (Holistic) Education and in the Armed Forces (which other countries are successfully implementing) so that they contribute significantly to the progress of the above sectors in order to eliminate the aforementioned dramatic and tragic things that are happening, and to establish the METRON, the "GOLDEN SECTION" of harmonic of coexistence, development and progress of our country and nation!
