Camille and Justine grapple with misogynistic fathers in their new video

This is not a parody, these videos really exist. On some of them, we can see fathers signing their baby girl, against the backdrop of Champions League music, a contract in which they promise not to have a boyfriend until 2040. It should be fun, but no, it missed.

Camille and Justine, who you surely know for their committed and militant feminist videos, have decided to film them, analyze them and comment on them, brilliantly.

Camille and Justine against the patriarchal hints of the 1950s

Camille and Justine, with humor and irony, comment on these videos, which are part of a trends which is gaining ground on social media, and in particular on TikTok. They ask simple questions: What exactly do these fathers want to protect their daughters from? Other men? But aren’t these men the ones who rebel shouting #notallmen (not all men) as soon as activists denounce misogynistic acts and who don’t want men to be feared? What about girls who might prefer to go out with another girl?

Using his son for a misogynistic, retrograde video

From an early age we witness, thanks to these videos, the toxicity of patriarchy. Is the next step to have the granddaughters of these so-called protective fathers sign virginity clauses until marriage? Will there be a contract so that the future man they go out with, if he is a man of course, corresponds well to the values ​​expected from the father?

Apart from the “humorous” aspect of these videos, which some may find amusing, we can also denounce the use of children, very young girls, to convey a patriarchal, misogynistic and retrograde message. By shooting these videos through a humorous prism, the men in this content use their influence to continue spreading a very rancid message, which only makes those who find it normal to have decision-making power over the lives of future women laugh.

We haven’t come out of the brambles, have we?
