From Family Advocacy to Women Advocacy: New Right-Wing Women against Gender politics in France (2010-2020)

Résumé

Feminisms are in tension. If feminism has never been a unified movement, today, technological and cultural possibilities have made the very subject of feminism explode. Neither gender nor sex are stable categories. Not only is the feminist political project the object of struggles within the space of the cause, but the very subject of feminism is uncertain. Once confined to the margins, non-binary and labile identities question the category of "woman" based on a supposedly shared experience of domination and sexuation. Any coalition, any social movement, made up of diverse organisations (Social movement organisation SMO) is subject to tensions over the political project, the objectives, the strategy, the tactics and, sometimes, the political subject. The question I wish to adress is the specificity of contemporary tensions within women advocacy. Contemporary feminist struggles are being transformed by globalisation, which has strong effects on the intensity and temporality of the links between groups that define themselves as feminists. These organisations that pose a collective definition of the feminist political subject, bringing people together around an egalitarian political project-liberal or socialistwere born at the end of the 19th century. At that time, the legal norms of most states were marked by different inequalities and defined the contours of a gendered and hierarchical social and political order according to status. Today, as a result of past mobilisations, the reference framework for international public policies is egalitarian, even if the national or local versions of these norms are not always egalitarian. This has an effect, in France, on the way in which the generations born from the 1970s onwards have been socialised in a political regime and a symbolic order that is egalitarian between men and women. Nevertheless, gender relations remain structuring, even if changes in the labour market, the family and the political field have euphemistically enhanced their scope. On the basis of this postulate, this egalitarian socialisation must be taken into account in order to grasp how, today, women who oppose feminists by claiming to be pro-women feminists, gain access to the public space and shape a conservative pole in the space of the women's cause. In particular, how those who, implicitly, are the heirs of the women's movements hostile to the equality policies of the last century, make themselves the spokespersons for women and attempt to define the feminist political subject from the category of woman, partly integrating the liberal feminist legacy in order to better oppose contemporary feminists.
