Resumo: Recent events positioned the gender in the heartwood of Brazilian public life. In this article, I describe two processes imbricated to it: the anti-gender crusade and the outbreak of the “feminist spring”. The first, a transnational Catholic strategy, emerged in 2014. Years later, pro-impeachment parliamentarians cast votes in favour of the family and against the “gender ideology” – expression appropriated by a powerful coalition inside and outside parliament. In 2018, the anti-gender campaign returned to national debates with Jair Bolsonaro running for president. The rejection of the candidate aggregated thousands of women in social networks and in the streets, forming the #elenão movement. But this was not a sudden or unprecedented reaction: women’s resistance has demonstrating the potency of their alliances and challenging the “smoke screen” thesis that labels the tactics of the current government.

Neste artigo, descrevo dois processos imbricados a isso: a cruzada antigênero e a eclosão da “primavera feminista”. A primeira, estratégia católica transnacional, emergiu no Brasil em 2014. Anos depois, parlamentares pró-impeachment declararam votos em favor da família e contra a “ideologia de gênero” – expressão habilmente apropriada por uma poderosa coalizão dentro e fora do parlamento. Em 2018, a campanha antigênero voltou aos debates nacionais com a candidatura de Jair Bolsonaro à presidência. O rechaço ao candidato agregou milhares de mulheres nas redes sociais e nas ruas, formando o movimento #elenão. Porém, não se tratava de reação repentina ou inédita: as resistências das mulheres têm demonstrado a potência de suas alianças e contestado a tese da “cortina de fumaça” que rotula as táticas do atual governo.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionOrganizadoras: Leonardo Ferreira Peixoto, Larissa PelúcioPesquisa Documental; Ciberetnografia; Observação Participante; Revisão de Literatura.application/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/7256410.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n72564Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 Núm. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 28 n. 3 (2020)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/72564/44974Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Estudos Feministashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMelo, Flavia2020-12-18T20:43:55Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/72564Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:55.911826Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
