that those parties are using the ideas of women’s rights in an effort to lobby against
migrants and Muslims. On the other hand, an increasing number of these parties
are led by women, for example, Marine Le Pen, which makes them additionally
attractive to other women. (FA–2)
You are a white heterosexual male in a position of power. You do not understand
that men and women, even when they occupy the same position of power, are not
equal. This is what feminism is trying to say for a long time now. (FA–3)
One of the hierarchal relationships being indicated is the one in-
volving individual European feminists (Élisabeth Badinter, Ayaan Hirsi
Ali, Oriana Fallaci) joining anti-Islam movements. This is also the only
thematic framework dealing with the activist engagement of other femi-
nists and the only one which notes a distinction between feminist activ-
ist orientations.
Entire female organisations have turned … against Muslims by advocating a
ban on wearing traditional coverings and portraying Muslim women as passive
victims which need to be rescued and emancipated. This anti-Islam feminist front
presents sexism as a sole component of Muslim culture and Islam as a dangerous
religion which must be stopped. (FA–2)
During the 60s and 70s, there were ideological divisions between Marxist and
radical feminists, but at the same time, they all agreed on issues of abortion rights,
employment and divorce. All those women came from completely different back-
grounds but they were united in their demands. Today feminism remains very
divided, especially based on class. (FA–3)
This thematic framework speaks affirmatively of feminism and also
discusses the status of academic feminism, providing greater insight into
the more complex division of feminism, as well as the issue of women ac-
cepting male values and positions in corporations.
The so-called academic feminism is a powerful phenomenon dating from the 1990s
and early 2000s which has been gaining popularity in the past ten years among
younger women and at a global level. The young are especially drawn to the neolib-
eral feminism … The women of today want to be louder, more visible and successful,
and to have more self-confidence. (FA–3)
The term feminism is not mentioned in all the articles; for example,
it is not referenced in the article about the opera portrayal, but is clearly
articulated in all of the other articles. This thematic framework is focused
on the present, featuring topics which are significant to diverse contem-
porary societies.
