In this episode, Laura questions the new wave of feminism which, in recent years, has taken a closer interest in women's bodies, periods, the clitoris, the simulation of pleasure, and even miscarriages and postpartum. To understand this movement, she calls on the philosopher Camille Froidevaux-Metterie, who theorizes this current sequence and who invites feminists to take note of this underlying movement to reinvest the terrain of the intimate and assume a more embodied feminism. Why have feminists neglected the body as an object of struggle and theory? What is the genital turn in feminism? What is the place of #MeToo in this new sequence? “Each time, it's the same idea: how can we make women regain possession of all these bodily subjects, and be able to live and experience them fully but also freely?” asks Camille Froidevaux-Metterie. Can women free themselves from their bodies?
