Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to detect gender stereotypes of cultural coordinate system, recognizing the sexist prejudices and the normative gender roles in society through the narrative of the French film I Am Not An Easy Man (2018) directed by Eleonore Pourriat. The film parody script, which deals with the perverted gender roles in a feminist utopia, will be the basis for the analysis of the patriarchal residue in modern society. Through a critical reflection on biological determinism, we will try to decode the established male-female roles from an early age, recognize the inadequate representation of women in the media, literature, science and popular culture, and re-examine the contemporary post-feminist transformations of femininity and masculinity. Reconsidering the contemporary post-feminist transformations of femininity and masculinity in film and in real life, we are in fact reminding ourselves of the need for gender-sensitive cultural policies.
