Abstract

Th is essay contains a refl ection on some changes in gender relations that can be seen in the last generations of young people in the country, infl uenced by the action taken by the feminist and gender movements. Th is refl ection also refers to a new current of thought and militancy, apparently feminist, whose
approaches are distorting the original postulates of feminism. Th is movements are currently composed of some young women who tend to deal the issues of gender equality with hostility, “anger” and with a sense of “retaliation” to men, without specifi c provocation. With that same intransigence, this movements  discredit and discriminate other groups of women with diff erent thoughts and from previous generations who dabble in feminism and in the interpellation of the androcentric and patriarchal gender power systems in their own way. Similarly, this aggressive and intransigent movements defend a kind of canon, poses and attitudes, supposedly in coherence with feminism, but that are based on a total deformation that makes this “feminism” a parody of itself.
