Much has been written about the Parisian edition of April 5. As the everyday projects itself to "the next world", no woman appears in the news.
This Sunday, April 5, the newspaper The Parisian invites four personalities to "tell the world from " the health crisis due to Covid-19. On the front page, we find the former Minister and current European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the essayist Yascha Mounk, the geneticist Axel Kahn and the climatologist Jean Jouzel. This front page provoked strong reactions via social networks as soon as it was released. And for good reason, no woman is represented in this new post-crisis world. While women's rights and gender equality are worrisome internationally, this front page is particularly unwelcome. Women politicians of all stripes did not hesitate to denounce the lack of parity.
"It starts well ‘the world after’, Le Parisien! Who is not going to feminize, rejuvenate and color the voices authorized to give their opinion on the future …"quips MP Clémentine Autain, member of the Left Front.
"In the front line of the world today, women are overrepresented. So, no, the next world will not be written without them.", says Aurore Bergé, LREM MP for Yvelines and rapporteur for the audiovisual law.
Yaël Braun-Pivet, member of En Marche, quotes Simone de Beauvoir in the face of this major decline in women's rights."https://www.aufeminin.com/"Don't forget that a political, economic or religious crisis will be enough for women's rights to be challenged." "Have women already lost the right to think the world after?", she wondered then.
Orne's centrist senator, Nathalie Goulet, is indignant that the editor-in-chief did not realize this lack of parity. "Frankly you do not have enough of the 100% testosterone in addition you do not even realize it !!! A womanless world is your vision, it's pathetic ", she says exasperated.
As for Laurence Parisot, the first woman to head Medef in 2005, she takes up Martin Hirsch's tweet. The boss of the AP-HP is one of the rare men to denounce the lack of parity in the daily newspaper using in particular the hashtag #Jamaissanselles. "The next world would be a world without women? 4 men in the headlines. A problem?", he wrote via his Twitter account.
Many internet users have also reacted to denounce this front page which for many represents rather "yesterday's world".
