The comment may surprise you, but it sounds like the meeting of politics and sociology, even semiology, these university disciplines whose particular objective is to question innocuous practices in order to extract their collective meaning. On Saturday, during a round table organized on the occasion of the Summer Universities of her political formation in Grenoble, the deputy for Europe Ecology-The Greens, Sandrine Rousseau, dropped an observation that quickly made its way on Twitter:
“You also have to change the mentality so that eating a steak cooked on a barbecue is no longer a symbol of virility.”
The right punishes a “delirium”
The deputy of the Maritime Alps and candidate for the presidency of the Republicans Éric Ciotti strangled himself on Twitter on Sunday:
“When the grotesque reaches its climax… Stop these delusions!”
He was supported by his colleague from the European Parliament, Nadine Morano, who also attacked “Rousseau’s delusion”, commenting on an article that evokes the new book by the Parisian deputy.
“Enough with accusing our boys of everything! Stop the ‘deconstruction’ of our men! Stop Rousseau’s delusions”, Nadine Morano was upset.
Florian Philippot, founder of the Patriots, for his part considered the debate ridiculous: “We have a madman at the head of the country who wants to cut off our heating this winter and drag us into a war, but no, we are debating.” … meat on the barbecue!”
Others, on the contrary, have acquired dramatic accents. As an intellectual, essayist and journalist from FigaroEugénie Bastié: “There may be nothing left but the roast as a small residual ritual of a virility mercilessly pulverized throughout the culture, and even they want to take it away.”
a new division
Is Sandrine Rousseau a lonely wanderer, isolated in her daydreams? No, the ecologist could count on the support of the left. Thus, on our set this Monday, the rebel deputy elected in Seine-Saint-Denis, Clémentine Autain resumed reflection. “Sociology tells us that there is a very strong difference between the sexes” in the relationship with meat, she argued, before adding:
“Women eat half as much red meat as men. People who decide to go vegan or vegetarian are mostly women.”
Two final observations drawn from the work of the journalist and author of steakNora Bouazzouni, who herself reacted on social networks:
“Carol J. Adams has been working on these issues for 30 years, and I have written a book on the subject, based on socio-scientific studies, and given I don’t know how many interviews. But that’s easier to insult Rousseau than typing two keywords into Google.”
On our set this Monday, Xavier Iacovelli, senator for the majority in Hauts-de-Seine, considered that the politician’s departure was counterproductive.
“I don’t think roast is a symbol of manhood. It is a subject that has no place. For a political party that advocates equality between women and men, stigmatizing that the asado is necessarily male, it is not up to the political debate.
In front of him, Aleksandar Nikolic, president of the RN group at the Centre-Val de Loire Regional Council, launched: “Having this political vision is worrying. Ecology is an essential theme (…) it should be your theme instead of monitoring the home and the way couples organize themselves,” he said.
“I find it dangerous, dictatorial and sick even if it makes you smile. Fortunately, she is not in power, ”she concluded.
