"We need more feminist explosions"

The subject of the article is the specificity of the #metoo movement in the world and in Poland. Starting with an analysis of the book Polite by Gro Dahle (text) and Svein Nyhus (illustrations) and drawing on Sarah Ahmed's theory (e.g. concerning the phenomenon of "snap", i.e. a violent action caused by frustration, growing agitation, emotional inability to bear the existing situation), the author discusses the specificity of the movement and its manifestations in the public space abroad and in Poland. She takes a closer look at the peformance of the Chilean feminist collective Las Tesis, which has spread around the world as a vortex. She also analyses the presence of this performance in the Polish public space, which leads her to reflect on the specificity of the #metoo movement in Poland. Finally, she emphasises that both the book Polite and the performance Las Tesis, despite their differences, stem from a similar emancipatory philosophy. They initiate the process of emergence of a new female subjectivity: brave, listening to her needs, incorrigible, knowing her value and rights, and knowing how to enforce them.
