No, we&#8217;ll arrest you right away. It is not to sculpt their abs that the mascus start to fantasize about Pilates.<\/p>\n<p>Because behind this sport, which has become very popular in recent years, lies a new masculinist reality, and the word &#8220;pilates&#8221; is not only mentioned in videos of young women testing the practice or talking about its miracles on the figure.<\/p>\n<h2>Where does this obsession with Pilates come from?<\/h2>\n<p>In the show \u201cLove Is Blind\u201d, Chris Fusco, a 33-year-old candidate, reveals, almost naturally, to his fianc\u00e9e Jessica Barrett, that his \u201ctype\u201d is a woman who \u201cdoes Pilates every day\u201d. For the media <span class=\"text-italic\">The Atlantic<\/span>it illustrates modern misogyny.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest episode of the hit podcast &#8220;Call Her Daddy,&#8221; reality TV star &#8220;The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives&#8221; Jessi Draper detailed the many issues she had with her husband before he filed for divorce last week. She recounts in particular having experienced psychological violence by her ex-husband, who allegedly asked her, among other things, to \u201cstart doing Pilates every day\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This type of remark is not isolated. On social networks, some male designers go even further: \u201cIf your girlfriend does Pilates, marry her immediately,\u201d explains @christianb.23 on Instagram.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-placeholder u-placeholder-instagram\" data-vendor=\"instagram-RDffthKi\">\n<div class=\"p-xxl@xs border-color-grey-200 radius-l@xs cmp-placeholder u-hidden\">\n<p class=\"mb-m@xs text-l@xs\">By clicking on<span class=\"ml-xxs@xs font-weight-bold@xs\">\u201cI accept\u201d<\/span>you accept the deposit of cookies by external services and will thus have access to the content of our partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xl@xs text-s@xs\">More information on the Cookie management policy page<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"mx-auto@xs flex@xs items-center@xs justify-center@xs gap-xxs@xs c-btn c-btn--primary cmp-button\">I accept<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to the <span class=\"text-italic\">19th News<\/span>this word now functions as a code. A shortcut to describe an \u201cideal\u201d woman, that is to say docile, without having to detail the criteria.<\/p>\n<h2>La Pilates girl is the new tradwife<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIf your girlfriend does Pilates, she probably stays home on the weekends so she can get up early and go to a class. And she will come back from Pilates class in a good mood because she went with her friends, no shady guys hit on her and she had a great workout,\u201d (email protected). Behind a Pilates class hides another very specific reality: rooms without men (or at least very few), compared to weight rooms, but above all a certain healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cmanosphere\u201d has a \u201crigid conception of what a woman should be\u201d, explains Mariel Barnes, professor who has studied the masculine sphere and its political impact, interviewed by <span class=\"text-italic\">19th News<\/span> : \u201ca traditional, submissive, stay-at-home wife, who does not challenge the man&#8217;s status as breadwinner and head of the household, and who corresponds to a certain aesthetic. I think the stereotype associated with Pilates has to do with that aesthetic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concept of the &#8216;Pilates princess&#8217; is something that the right has latched on to enormously,\u201d says content creator Bryony Claire, who analyzes masculinist trends on her channel. \u201cIt has become a sort of sorting system to define \u2018good women\u2019.\u201d An imagination that is reminiscent of that of \u201ctradwives\u201d, these women who demand a return to more traditional gender roles.<\/p>\n<h2>Be careful if its Hinge description is \u201cLooking for Pilates Girl\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>In <span class=\"text-italic\">19th News<\/span>Mariel Barnes also emphasizes that the word \u201cPilates\u201d today serves as a shortcut, as a sort of \u201ccode\u201d. A logic that creator Bryony Claire deciphers head-on. According to her, these speeches contribute to \u201cmaking women smaller so that men can feel more masculine, taller and more powerful\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>More than just an interest in your sporting practice, this type of speech can then become a signal. If your next match on a dating app, or your crush, seems to give a little too much importance to the sport you practice, to the point of pushing you towards Pilates, this may already be a red flag. Because if there is one thing to remember, it is that sport is a space that belongs to you, linked to your well-being. Not an injunction to correspond to a masculine ideal\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Tate in a pink room, lying on a reformer?
