MOTTIN, Karina Veiga. THE CONCEPT OF GENDER IN CONTEMPORARY BRAZILIAN ANTIFEMINIST THOUGHT. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.72, pp.116-129.  Epub May 06, 2024. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2023.v32.n72.p116-129.

This article intends to analyze how the concept of “gender” is understood in contemporary Brazilian anti-feminist thought and explore its possible effects for the field of education. Starting from feminist and poststructuralist studies, this article discusses antifeminism from the book Feminismo: perversão e subversão, by Ana Caroline Campagnolo (2019). Three feminist thinkers stand out in the anti-feminist narrative with regard to the discussion of the concept of “gender”: Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler. When analyzing how this concept is assimilated by Campagnolo (2019), it is concluded that the antifeminist narrative delegates to nature a fundamental role in the differentiation between “feminine” and “masculine”, denying “gender” as a concept.

Keywords : Antifeminism; Gender; Feminism.
