Male supremacy in political agreements: symbolic political violence against women?

Abstract

This article addresses the symbolic dimension of political violence against women, based on the issue of male supremacy within the scope of political parties and the reflection of this in the social imaginary and in the exercise of political rights by the female portion of society. In this sense, and based on bibliographic and documentary studies, associated with participant observation in various debates and political actions on the subject, we advocate the adoption of a feminist perspective critical to the democratic deficit of gender and race within the party, stimulating the production of scientific research that account for symbolic political violence, not typified in the recent Law nº 14.192/2021, which establishes norms to prevent, repress and combat political violence against women during elections and in the exercise of political rights and public functions in Brazil.
