Regularly,
Le Figaro
examines in depth the ins and outs of a question that electrifies the debate and divides the political class as well as French society.
Stunning numbers.
On January 9, journalist Mathieu Palain, author of
Our Fathers, Our Brothers, Our Friends.
In the head of violent men
declared at the microphone of
France Inter
that there would be between “
200,000 and one million violent men in France
”.
An imprecise range that casts doubt on the reality of domestic violence and a title that induces the notion of collective guilt.
A world is offered to the imagination where every man would be violent by essence.
A conception massively taken up by many feminist movements.
"
The patriarchy kills
", we could read on the pediment of the Opéra Garnier, while Alice Coffin pointed to a "
systemic problem
"
and a
"
structural organization of society
".
Facing them, the journalist and essayist Élisabeth Lévy rather denounced a war against the “
windmill
” of a supposed patriarchy in reality “
moribund
”.
Le Figaro
investigated the main figures and arguments that fuel this highly politicized debate.
The thesis of the system of patriarchal domination, which is so attractive today, nevertheless appears to be very flawed.
