Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how militante appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. Il y a là une forme subtile de ce à quoi les militantes féministes ont donné le nom de « phallocratie », comme si le mâle avait acquis la créature qu'il exhibe dans une vente aux enchères et désirait qu'on le congratulât pour cette bonne affaire grâce à laquelle son existence va être tout embellie.
  2. Par exemple : les militantes occupent rarement une position de leader dans les mouvements ou les organisations, et lorsqu’elles remplissent cette fonction, elles sont aisément catégorisées par les autres militant·e·s comme « femmes d’exception ».
