Summary/Abstract: This article studies four cases, covered by the media, of sexist insults in French politics that occurred between 2007 and 2019 (the Devedjian, Sido, Aubert and Ravier cases). Using the original concept of “insultance sexiste”, the author applies sociolinguistics and discourse analysis to a corpus to further explore the multitude of close relationships between norms and insults. This perspective proposes to broaden linguistic research on insult by integrating all occurrences of linguistic sexism in line with the thesis that “any sexist statement is legitimately insulting”.
