Devirilize the world

Since 2017, the #MeToo movement has been raising the voices of women denouncing male violence. Despite the scale of feminist mobilization and political promises, inequalities persist. In this manifesto, Céline Piques, president of Osez le Féminisme!, weaves links between reference texts of feminist matrimony - from Andrea Dworkin to Gisèle Halimi, from Christine Delphy to Émilie Hache - and stories of struggles led, to open a critical reflection on patriarchal society. The author then draws concrete measures and courses of action to build a radically feminist policy. Analyzing the interweavings of capitalism and patriarchy and the systems of predation they fuel, she defines the conditions for the true sexual, reproductive, domestic and economic emancipation of women. “And if the feminist utopia aimed as much to emancipate women as to devirilize society as a whole? Lowering the level of violence in society by combating the virilist ideology of the world, such could be the new paradigm. » Celine Piques
