Phallocracy or vaginocentricity ? Feminists' voice in the modern debate on gender, language, and culture
Abstract
Since the very beginning, feminism has been surrounded by numerous legends,
myths and not-quite-credible stories that generally stem from the miscomprehension
of its ideas. It still continues to be presented in a caricatured and stereotypical manner.
The media have a considerable share in creating such attitudes to feminism, as they
construct the majority of their accounts of the feminist movement around the „interrelated
activities of an antagonist and protagonist”. The search for the common nature of
feminine experience faces numerous obstacles. These involve political and social ones
(differences of race, class, religion, sexual orientation, etc.); the identity of the subjectwoman has not been agreed; the attempts to establish feminine language fail. It is
increasingly questioned whether this manner of presenting feminism in the media is
not becoming a new form of exclusion – a new form of Differentness.
