Higher education institutions and the masculinity mandate

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the way in which universities systematize practices of violence against women, specifically intimidation and sexual harassment aimed at female students and teachers. It is supported on the postulates of Rita Segato around the establishment of a patriarchal political order settled down in the universities, in which men develop interlocution forms with each other to discipline women. Likewise, universities dislocate and undermine the communal organizing mechanisms of female students who question, point out and denounce violent practices.
