Abstract
Since the very beginning, feminism has been surrounded by numerous legends, myths and not-quite-credible stories that generally stem from the miscomprehension of its ideas. It still continues to be presented in a caricatured and stereotypical manner. The media have a considerable share in creating such attitudes to feminism, as they construct the majority of their accounts of the feminist movement around the „interrelated activities of an antagonist and protagonist”. The search for the common nature of feminine experience faces numerous obstacles. These involve political and social ones (differences of race, class, religion, sexual orientation, etc.); the identity of the subject- woman has not been agreed; the attempts to establish feminine language fail. It is increasingly questioned whether this manner of presenting feminism in the media is not becoming a new form of exclusion – a new form of Differentness.

Summary
Fallokracja czy waginocentryzm? G3os feministek we wspó3czesnej debacie o p3ci, jêzyku i kulturze. Zawsze jest ona czêœci[1] jakiegoœ ci1gu lub zbioru, odgrywaj1c jak1œ rolê poœród innych wypowiedzi, opieraj1c siê na nich i odró¿niaj1c od nich. Wokó[3] feminizmu naros3o od pocz1tku mnóstwo legend, mitów i nie zawsze wiarygodnych opowieœci, które wynika3y w du¿ej mierze z niezrozumienia jego idei. Spor1 „zas3ugê” w takim podejœciu do feminizmu maj[1] media, które wiêkszoœæ opowieœci o kobiecym ruchu buduj[1] wokó3 „zazêbiaj1cych siê dzia3añ antagonisty i protagonisty”[1]. Feministkom zarzuca siê wiele: ideologicznoœæ przekazu, nadwra¿liwoœæ, obra¿alstwo, „pilnowanie czystoœci myœli i jêzyka”, „bolszewick[1] pewnoœæ jedynie s3usznej prawdy” itd.[2] Przeciwnicy ruchu feministycznego próbuj[1] go zdyskredytowaæ, wskazuj1c na ogromne, ich zdaniem, podobieñstwo pomiêdzy argumentacj[1] feministek i marksistów, co bywa. Feministki, w: Tabu: o czym szczerze nie rozmawiamy, „Polityka” nr 25 (2406), 21 czerwca 2003, s. 85
