Abstract
The cunning of separating the public and private spheres, stealing from the latter all the value, tarnishes the origins of some of the most important political theories of nowadays, as is the case with the liberal theory of justice. The consequence is that, in a sibylline manner, there is a systematic appropriation of the emotional and affective force and care capabilities of women, which has many negative consequences for them and for social cohesion. Occidental feminist theory has interrogated and displaced the border between these two worlds, public and private. As some socialist and marxist sectors have shown, the family absorbs, without compensation, the actions of women as identity builders, free wound healers of others and feeders of foreign egos. The broad spectrum of work that must be carried out to guarantee generational change and social functioning, arduous but invisible, is actually and it should be shown in social practice, a collective responsibility.
