Dalla Mont Pèlerin Society a Les Antigones. Note sulla genealogia dell’alleanza tra neoliberalismo ‘mutante’ e ‘femminismi nemici’

The article looks at the connection between today's right-wing ideas and the rise of new anti-modern feminisms. These “enemy feminisms” (Lewis 2025) use feminist language to push back against progress. This phenomenon is not occurring within an irreversible crisis of neoliberalism, but rather within its mutation. This latest transformation repurposes neoliberal principles, bringing its original racial and anti-egalitarian roots to light. The study reveals how sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and anti-immigration rhetoric are weaponized to distract public opinion from the system's structural failures. Through the case study of Les Antigones, the article demonstrates how anti-gender and anti-woke rhetoric acts as a Trojan horse to justify a moral attack on the social state and the justification for dismantling public education. These new feminisms provide the necessary moral justification for the neoliberal agenda by invoking the defence of "Nature" to restore a hierarchical social order.
