From Feminists To Conservatives: An Unexpected Transition
5th May 2024
Dora Moutot is a committed feminist. She was deputy editor-in-chief of Konbini, a website aimed at young people. She has a degree in arts and fashion.
“More and more people are calling me a conservative feminist. And I’m actually fine with that. If keeping a sense of reality, saying that there are 2 sexes and that 2 + 2 = 4, is conservative, don’t worry, I’m conservative. I’m conservative! I’m conservative!”
These are the facetious words that Dora Moutot, a committed feminist, posted on her X account just over a year ago—a rather unexpected ‘coming out’ from a young woman who was in no way predisposed to such declarations. With a degree in arts and fashion, Moutot had started a blog on Le Monde designed to disinhibit women’s sexuality, followed by a successful Instagram account aiming at criticising traditional sexual relationships, which she accused of being subject to male domination. She was deputy editor-in-chief of Konbini, a website aimed at young people that poured out its share of politically correct opinions on everything from ecology to the cause of migrants to the fate of porn actresses—all things that would normally produce an allergic but healthy reaction in the average reader of The European Conservative.
