CAMACHO SPOSITTO, Pablo. Silencing Screams: Rhetoric of Hate and Anti-Gender Advances. Rev. urug. Antropología y Etnografía [online]. 2022, vol.7, n.1, pp.127-140.  Epub June 01, 2022. ISSN 2393-7068.  https://doi.org/10.29112/ruae.v7i1.1558.

In the last twenty years in Latin America and the world, there has been a new advance of governments and groups of extreme right and contrary to the so-called rights agenda. Uruguay is no exception to these movements, with the emergence of multiple movements demanding the end of policies related to gender and sexuality, claiming that they cause a social imbalance. Among these groups is Varones Unidos, a group that claims the end of the new rights agenda based on the argument that it is breaking equality in gender relations in favor of the left and feminism and against the traditional heteronormative family.

Throughout this paper we will seek to shed light on the rhetorical and discursive arguments of this group based on the analysis of their articles and interviews to its main members in order to present how the allegation of an anti-gender group is constituted in the context of the advance of the new right wing at global and local level.

Keywords : gender; backlash; feminisms; rights; anti-gender.
