La reacción neomachista tras la cuarta ola feminista

Whenever feminism advances, machismo mutates. The fourth wave of feminism grew during the second decade of this century and reached its peak around 2018, when it became massive and shook the world. At almost the same historical moment, an antagonistic discourse spread: neomachismo, the most recent update of machismo.

The book you hold in your hands brings together specialists from various fields of academic knowledge and social intervention in an attempt to consciously describe our historical moment, which rides between the impact of a powerful feminist wave and the reaction to its ideas.

Many questions need to be clarified. Are we living in a time of backlash against feminism? Does every wave provoke counter-movements? What are the key elements of the fourth wave of feminism? And what are the core arguments of neomachismo? What does digital antifeminism look like today? How influential are social networks? What do we do with the mandate of masculinity? Which educational strategies are useful against neomachismo? And which political ones?

We hope that this effort to bring together diverse knowledge in this book can help shed light on the moment we are living through — a confusing time, a clash between a wave and its counter-wave, a time of discursive mixtures and tension. These years will shape the meaning of the times to come.
