Christine Lagarde

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Christine Lagarde in passing, never for her own sake. He uses her as an example in a critique of talk about "women in general". In 2015 he lists her, as head of the IMF, among powerful women1. Between late 2020 and early 2021 he returns to this case often to show that a woman in power can be hard on women. He mentions the pensions of Estonian women2 and places her among the bourgeois women who put other women out of work3. He thus uses her as an argument against bourgeois feminism4. For him, class matters more than sex. That is why he contrasts her with the Malian woman: social situations this far apart cannot be placed under a single category5. In another context, he also makes her an amusing example of a means that turns against the end it was meant to serve6.
