O movimento redpill e a misoginia: uma perspectiva psicanalítica.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the misogyny evidenced from the redpill movement from a psychoanalytic perspective. Thereunto, the Freudian theory of castration and the death drive is used. In view of this, classic texts by Sigmund Freud that address such theories are used, as well as contributions by Jacques Lacan and contemporary authors. Through this study, it is understood that the masculine ideal of virility, domination and oppression, presents itself as an ideal in a state of decadence. This dissolution of the virile man ends up generating an identity shock for men who, faced with the transformations in which women have progressively gained space in different social contexts, perceive castration in a more forceful way, denouncing the absence of the phallus. In this way, the misogynistic practices of the redpill movement are configured as an expression of the death drive, which unfolds through hatred of the feminine, which implies extremist attempts to replace the lost phallus and circumvent the castration that presents itself as real.
